Endotine Brow Lift FAQ – Procedure, Recovery, and How Long It Lasts

Thinking about an endoscopic brow lift but have questions?

At Noonopi Plastic Surgery, we’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions from real patients to give you a clearer idea of what to expect—from surgical details to recovery and long-term results.

How does a brow lift work?

✔ A brow lift elevates drooping eyebrows and improves hooded eyes, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines.

Key mechanisms:
• Relaxes or removes the corrugator muscles (responsible for frown lines), allowing brows to lift naturally.
• Unlike thread lifts that only pull skin, endoscopic brow lift also addresses underlying muscle.
• Ideal for those who rely on Botox frequently—this surgery offers a longer-lasting result.

What’s the surgical process? Where are the incisions?

✔ Small incisions (less than 2cm) are made behind the hairline—typically 4 to 5 points.
✔ A surgical endoscope is used to lift tissues without needing a large incision.
✔ Swelling is less intense than eyelid surgery, allowing for a relatively fast recovery.

Can a forehead lift be combined with other eye surgeries?

✔ Yes. Upper blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, lower blepharoplasty, or fat grafting can be performed simultaneously. ✔ Noonopi offers tailored eye rejuvenation surgery plans for each individual.

Can people in their 20s get a Endotine brow lift?

✔ Yes—especially if you have a low eyebrow position or rely on your forehead to open your eyes.

✔ This procedure can also reduce forehead strain and improve eye openness.

How long does a forehead lift last?

✔ Generally, results last 5 to 7+ years.
✔ When frowning muscles are sufficiently treated, frown lines diminish, mimicking Botox-like effects without repeated injections.

What is the recovery timeline?

• Day 3: Bandage removal and shampoo allowed
• Day 4–7: Swelling and bruising present but manageable
• Day 7: Stitches removed; makeup can cover any residual bruising
• Week 2+: Light exercise is okay, but avoid strong pressure on the forehead for 1 month

Can brow lift cause hollow upper eyelids?

✔ In patients with low fat volume around the eyes, a brow lift may make hollowness more visible.
✔ Simultaneous fat grafting around the upper eyelid can help restore volume.
📸 6-0: Hollow eyelid may visible in some case.
6-1 : Expected hollow eyelid are prevented using fat grafting in combination with brow lift

What are the risks of endoscopic brow lift?

• Motor nerve damage: Rare, but possible with inexperienced surgeons.
• Temporary numbness: Scalp sensitivity may decrease temporarily, recovering in 2–3 months.
• Temporary hair thinning: Rare around incision sites, typically resolves in 6 months.

Why do some brow lifts fail?

✔ Surgeon-related: Insufficient anatomical understanding, poor dissection depth, muscle undertreatment

✔ Patient-related: Strong skin tension or challenging bone structure (e.g., prominent forehead)
✔ Revision surgery is possible, but poorly executed first surgeries may complicate results.

Who is a good candidate for brow lift?

✔ Patients with:
• Droopy brows + forehead wrinkles
• Narrow space between brows and eyes
• Strong reliance on forehead muscles
• History of frequent Botox use with diminishing effect
