Endotine Brow Lift
Home // Procedures for Men // Facial Rejuvenation // Endotine Brow Lift
A smooth, unlined brow not only gives the appearance of youth, it also evokes a calm demeanor and sense of confidence. Brow and forehead lifts can raise eyebrows and reduce ridges and furrows on the forehead to create a smoother, younger, more vital appearance.
Now an advanced surgical procedure called the Endotine TransBleph technique allows Dr. Schafer to produce the same surgical result as with a traditional forehead lift by making a single incision along the upper eyelid, and inserting the Endotine implant.
The Endotine TransBleph procedure significantly reduces traditional surgical side effects including scarring, and can be combined with an Eyelid Lift (for optimal results), a Weekend Recovery Lazer-Lift, or Brow Lift through the same incision.

About the Endotine Brow Lift
The Endotine Brow Lift is a modern alternative to the traditional forehead lift, which requires incisions along the hairline from ear to ear, leaving scars and potentially causing hair loss.
The Endotine Brow Lift requires only a single incision along the upper lid of each eye.
The Endotine forehead implant is secured in a matter of minutes, and the incision is finely sutured to make scarring virtually invisible.
Because the procedure is quick, safe, and simple, a local anesthesia is used.
