Endoscopic brow lift
This brow lift is Dr. Shapiro’s go-to technique for many of our Scottsdale clients. An endoscopic lift is designed for patients with a minimal to moderate quantity and depth of wrinkles. This is a very reliable and time-tested procedure with predictable results.
An endoscopic forehead lift is a minimally-invasive procedure that results in very little swelling or bruising. Inconspicuous incisions will be made in the scalp and hidden along the hairline. This means very few scars will remain and it will be difficult for even the patient to notice them.
Endoscopic procedures offer a very fast recovery time. Surgical sutures are typically removed within ten days. At this point, most patients feel comfortable socializing and returning to work and normal activities.
Open brow lift
An open or coronal browplasty is a specialized procedure designed for patients with heavy skin and/or deep wrinkles, which are common among men. Deep wrinkles between the eyebrows and in the mid-forehead region may be lifted using this technique.
As with the endoscopic procedure, the open forehead lift requires incisions placed on the top of the scalp, which means minimal, discreet scarring. With a larger incision, Dr. Shapiro can directly correct muscles that are responsible for the wrinkles. This procedure is more powerful and delivers more dramatic results than the endoscopic approach.
While it is slightly more invasive, patients are typically discharged to return home after the procedure. The recovery time is about ten days, and most patients experience very little swelling or bruising.
Lateral temporal brow lift
This minimally-invasive procedure is designed to lift the corners of the eyes. Through discreet incisions placed along the temporal hair line, Dr. Shapiro will tighten the skin and smooth away crow’s feet and other lines in the delicate eye area.
