Anti-aging & lifting
Endoscopic forehead lift
An endoscopic forehead lift treats everything from the forehead to the eyelids in one operation, working through small incisions hidden in the hairline. It gives the strongest lift with a surprisingly quick recovery, ideal when forehead lines and lid sagging occur together.
Who it suits
- Deep forehead lines together with heavy lids
- Dropped brows giving a tired, older look
- Want a clear, long-lasting lift
Technique highlights
- Endoscope for precision through small incisions
- Incisions hidden inside the hairline
- Forehead, brows and lids lifted together
Surgical steps
- One-to-one consultation and facial analysis with the specialist surgeon before an individual plan is drawn up.
- Anaesthesia: sleep sedation. The procedure itself takes 30-40 minutes.
- The board-certified plastic surgeon performs the operation personally throughout.
- Recovery is monitored on site and you go home the same day — no inpatient stay.
Recovery & aftercare
- Sutures and dressings: sutures out after 7-10 days.
- Follow-up visits: 1-2 visits.
- Back to daily life in 7-10 days. Cold compresses for the first 2-3 days and sleeping with the head elevated reduce swelling.
Risks & things to consider
- Results depend on each patient's anatomy, skin condition and aftercare, so identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Stop smoking, alcohol and blood-thinning medication before and after surgery as instructed by your doctor.
- Disclose all previous surgery, medical conditions and drug allergies at the consultation.
