The
Endoscopic eyebrow and forehead
lift
" A smoother forehead with higher
eyebrows "
|
|
|
|
Rather than a long text,
we thought we would answer
the most commonly-asked
questions as concretely
and objectively as possible.
Dr Frederic Sarfati answers
your questions
Ex Head of Clinic, Hospitals
of Paris
Fellow of the Endoscopic
Plastic Surgery Center Baltimore,

|
I) Before treatment
Back
|
1. Why would I have an Endoscopic eyebrow
and forehead lift ? |
|
« This procedure for clients wanting to correct their eyebrows'
position once and for
all, reduce the deep vertical
lines between the eyebrows
and smooth crow's feet.
»
|
2. How do you find out what my needs are ?
|
|
« Before treatment, we discuss what would be suitable. We use both recent
and past photos and remorph
them so I can advise you
on how we get a nice natural-looking
result that fits with your
face. » |
3.
Does
an Endoscopic eyebrow and
forehead lift make my eyes
look younger ? How long
do the effects last ? |
|
« This lift smoothes the forehead and the eyebrow line without changing
the person's expression.
The eyes are brighter,
the face more open and
looks naturally younger
again. This is a very
stable treatment and the
results last well over
10 years. »
|
4.
How
do you get natural-looking
results ? |
|
« What is important is knowing how to keep the expression. Too much pulling
around in this zone can
make you look surprised;
however, by just raising
the eyebrow ends, we can
lift the gaze, giving
it sparkle and enhancing
the eyes' expression.
The aim is to soften the
face while leaving its
personality intact. »
|
5.
Do I need a medical examination before treatment ?
|
|
« During
your preparatory consultation
with the anaesthetist
or the surgeon, we will
ask you for the results
of a general medical examination,
to spot any medical contraindications.
And you should take no
aspirin or anti inflammatory
medicines for ten days
prior to your visit. »

Back
|
6.
How
long do I stay at the clinic ?
|
|
« You will be in the clinic for 24 hours,
leaving the day after
the treatment. »
|
7.
How long does the treatment last ?
|
|
« Between
one hour and a quarter
and one hour and a half.
»
|
8.
What kind of anaesthetic do you recommend ?
|
|
« We could either use a local anaesthetic
with some sedation, or
a general anaesthetic. »
|
9.
What happens during the treatment ? |
|
« This
is Endoscopic treatment;
this allows us to see
the instruments by mini
camera, slid in through
small incisions. This
innovative technique is
less invasive and frees
the expression by smoothing
out the forehead and upper
eyelids. By weakening
the forehead muscles,
responsible for the horizontal
and vertical lines, we
can reposition the eyebrows. »
|
10.
What are the risks ?
|
|
« Bruising is slight for this type of
face lift. We prescribe
antibiotics two days before
the treatment until the
seventh day after, just
to make sure there is
no infection. You may
feel a slight reduction
in sensation in the forehead,
which will go away after
a few months. Any risks
linked to the anaesthetic
used will be discussed
during consultation with
the anaesthetist, before
treatment. »
|
11.
What risks of phlebitis (deep vein thrombosis)
are there ?
|
|
« There is a very low risk
of phlebitis for this
type of treatment. It
consists of a blood clot
appearing in the deep
veins of the leg, which
can detach and move to
the lungs, causing a lung
embolism. We can effectively
deal with this risk using
anti-coagulants and support
stockings during your
whole stay. During the
treatment, we also do
leg massages. So far,
we have had no cases of
phlebitis at all. »

III )
After treatment
:
Back
|
12.
Will there be any scars ?
|
|
« This is a very sophisticated technique and it considerably
limits scarring and discomfort.
Four discreet scars of
about 12 mm each will
be hidden in the hair
surrounding the forehead. »
|
13.
Will it be painful ?
|
|
« This
is not painful treatment,
but you will feel minor
discomfort for some days
around the forehead and
upper eyelids. Any swelling
or bruising in the upper
eyelids will disappear
after eight to 10 days. »
|
14.
How
quickly will I see the results ?
|
|
« Results
will be 85% complete after
two weeks, some residual
bruising may take up to
three months to dissipate. »
|
15. How
often will I need check
ups ?
|
|
« After leaving the clinic, there will
be two consultations in
two weeks, then regular
follow up for six months.
We need to survey progress,
take out certain stitches
etc on the 14th day. You
can of course make an
appointment at any other
time. »
|
16.
What
do you do to protect the
treatment zone; will I have
to wear bandages ?
|
|
« Adhesive
surgical tape is used
to maintain the forehead's
new position and to limit
bruising. As far as possible,
the eyes should be bandaged
on the first night to
limit bruising in the
upper eyelids. »
|
17.
What care should I take afterwards ?
|
|
« We prescribe antibiotics for
six days, ordinary pain
killers and Arnica granules
for two weeks. »
|
18.
How
soon can I start work again ?
|
|
« You
can start work after three
or four days but you will
probably want to restart
your social life only
after eight to 12 days. »
|
19.
Should
I avoid physical activity ?
|
|
« You
can start your sports
regime again after a month. »
|
20.
Is
this treatment reimbursable
on my health insurance ? |
|
« You
will have to consult your
local health authorities
and your private health
insurers to see if you
can be supported financially
following a serious accident,
for example. »
