Advantages of endoscopic brow lifting over standard open procedure
The most significant advantage of endoscopic forehead or brow lifting over a standard open forehead lift is a reduction in nerve changes like numbness of the scalp. These almost always occur when an incision is made across the scalp.
The most common nerve changes are numbness, itching and pain in the scar .
With time many problems associated with the nerve damage will go away but it may take many months for this to happen.
Apart from the improvement in the number of nerve problems and a more rapid recovery, the problems of surgery such as swelling, bleeding, infection and damage to motor nerves remain about the same after endoscopic surgery as after the open operation.
