Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Donna Krummen offers advanced brow lift techniques tailored to your unique needs and anatomy. She can perform both endoscopic brow lift and traditional brow lift. Understanding the distinctions between these two techniques can help you feel more confident and informed when exploring your options.
Endoscopic Brow Lift
An endoscopic brow lift uses small, hidden incisions — usually made behind the hairline — to allow a slender camera (endoscope) and surgical instruments to lift and reposition the underlying forehead tissues. This technique offers several advantages:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Faster recovery time compared to traditional methods
- A more subtle, natural-looking lift
- Less disruption of surrounding tissues
Endoscopic brow lifts are often an excellent choice if you have mild to moderate brow drooping and want to achieve a more alert, rested look without a dramatic change.
Traditional Brow Lift
Also known as an open or coronal brow lift, the traditional approach involves a longer incision placed across the top of the scalp, usually hidden within the hair. Dr. Krummen can directly access and adjust deeper tissues, remove excess skin, and create a smoother, more youthful forehead appearance through this incision.
A traditional brow lift may be the better option if you have significant sagging, deep forehead wrinkles, or more advanced signs of aging. While the recovery period may be slightly longer, the results are often comprehensive and long-lasting.
Which Technique Is Right for You?
Choosing the right type of brow lift depends on several factors, including your brow position, skin quality, hairline shape, and aesthetic goals. During a personalized consultation, Dr. Krummen evaluates all of these elements carefully to recommend the most effective technique for you.
