endoscopic brow lift
Endoscopic Brow Lift
Lifting of drooping brows through minimal incisions hidden in the scalp, with fast recovery and a natural look.
Duration
1.5-2.5 hours
Anesthesia
General anesthesia or deep sedation
Result
Visible result at 3-4 weeks; lasts 7-10 years
Overview
Endoscopic brow lift corrects brow ptosis and a tired-looking gaze without visible scars. Through 3-5 incisions of 1-2 cm hidden in the scalp, Dr. Mubariz Mammadli repositions the periorbital and temporal tissues, lifting the brows back to their natural anatomic position.
Unlike the classic coronal lift, the endoscopic approach avoids long ear-to-ear incisions, preserves scalp sensitivity and significantly shortens recovery. The technique suits both younger patients with constitutionally low-set brows and mature patients with aging signs of the upper third of the face.

Frequently asked questions
How much does endoscopic brow lift cost in Bucharest?
The price depends on case complexity and whether other procedures (blepharoplasty, forehead lift) are combined. The exact fee is provided at consultation and includes the surgery, hospitalization and follow-ups.
Will I have visible scars after surgery?
No. The 1-2 cm incisions are hidden in the scalp behind the hairline and become invisible once the hair grows. This is the main advantage over the classic coronal lift.
How does it differ from botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes muscles and can slightly lift the tail of the brow for 3-4 months. Endoscopic lift surgically repositions tissues with a stable 7-10 year result, indicated when the ptosis is structural.
How long does recovery take?
Sedentary activity resumes in 7 days. Edema and bruising resolve in 10-14 days, and socially acceptable appearance is usually reached in 2 weeks. Impact sports can resume after 4-6 weeks.
How long does the result last?
The endoscopic brow lift result lasts on average 7-10 years. Natural aging continues, but the position obtained always remains superior to the preoperative appearance.
