What Is an Endoscopic Forehead Lift?

A brow lift performed through small hairline incisions using an endoscope.

Rather than simply pulling the forehead upward, treatment addresses adhesions beneath the forehead tissues, depressor muscles that contribute to brow descent, brow position and facial balance, and long-term support. Small incisions are placed behind the hairline, tissues are released, the brow is repositioned, and fixation is performed before closure.

Key Features

Why the incisions can be this small.

	What it means in practice
Approx. 1 cm hidden incisions	Incisions are generally concealed within the hair-bearing scalp
Reduced visible scarring	Limited incision length supports less visible scarring
Full HD endoscopic visualization	The surgeon visualizes underlying structures despite the small access
Personalized brow positioning	Brow height and shape are planned individually
Natural-looking rejuvenation	Balance is prioritized over maximum elevation

Incisions are generally concealed within the hair-bearing scalp, but any incision results in a scar. Altered sensation may also occur during healing.

Frequently Asked

Forehead Lift in Busan
— your questions, answered.

What is an endoscopic forehead lift?

A minimally invasive brow-lifting procedure performed through small hairline incisions using an endoscope, designed to elevate the brows, soften forehead aging, and create a refreshed appearance.

Will scars be visible?

Incisions are generally concealed within the hair-bearing scalp, and their limited length supports reduced visible scarring.

How long is recovery?

Recovery varies according to the individual procedure and healing process. Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and altered sensation may occur during healing.

Am I a candidate for an endoscopic forehead lift?

Patients may benefit if they experience low or heavy brows, forehead skin laxity, a tired or stern appearance, brow asymmetry, or early upper facial aging.

How is it different from a traditional brow lift?

This approach uses approximately 1 cm hidden incisions with Full HD endoscopic visualization, allowing the surgeon to see underlying structures while limiting incision length.

Can it be combined with eyelid surgery?

Combined procedures are considered depending on your anatomy and goals. Because heaviness can come from the brow, the eyelid, or both, the appropriate combination is determined during assessment.

When can I return to work?

This depends on your individual healing and the extent of the procedure. Follow the individualized postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon rather than a general timeline.

How long do results last?

Treatment addresses long-term support by releasing adhesions and depressor muscles and performing fixation. However, ageing continues and individual results vary.

Is the forehead simply pulled upward?

No. Rather than simply pulling the forehead upward, treatment addresses adhesions beneath the forehead tissues, depressor muscles that contribute to brow descent, brow position and facial balance, and long-term support.

Individual results and recovery experiences vary. This page is provided for general educational purposes and does not constitute a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or guarantee of surgical results. A brow lift does not stop the ageing process, and results are not permanent. All surgical procedures involve potential risks, including bleeding, infection, asymmetry, scarring, altered or lost sensation, nerve injury, hair loss around incisions, brow position change or relapse, dissatisfaction with the outcome, and the possible need for additional surgery. The appropriate procedure and expected outcome can only be determined following an in-person examination and consultation with a qualified medical professional.
