endoscopic forehead lift
Endoscopic Forehead Lift
Smoothing forehead and glabellar wrinkles through an endoscopic approach, without long incisions or sensory loss.
Duration
1.5-2 hours
Anesthesia
General anesthesia or deep sedation
Result
Stable result for 8-10 years
Overview
Endoscopic forehead lift addresses deep horizontal forehead wrinkles, vertical glabellar lines and overall descent of the upper third of the face. Unlike botulinum toxin treatments, which temporarily relax muscles, the surgical approach selectively weakens the responsible muscles and repositions forehead skin.
Dr. Mubariz Mammadli uses 3-5 small incisions hidden in the scalp through which the endoscopic camera and specialized instruments are introduced. The advantage over classic coronal lift is the absence of a long scar, preservation of scalp sensitivity and significantly faster recovery.

- Skin repositioning and deep internal fixation
Recovery and aftercare
- Compressive frontal bandage for 24-48 hours

- Sensation of forehead pressure during the first week
- Return to sedentary activity in 5-7 days
- Follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months
Frequently asked questions
How much does endoscopic forehead lift cost?
The price depends on case complexity and whether it is combined with brow lift. The exact fee, including surgery, hospitalization and follow-ups, is provided at consultation.
When can I stop botulinum toxin treatments?
Many patients stop completely or use much lower doses after endoscopic lift because muscles are surgically weakened. The decision is individual based on the result.
Will my forehead be numb after surgery?
Temporary numbness is normal in the first 6-12 weeks because sensory nerves are stretched during dissection. Sensation returns progressively and completely in most cases.
How does it differ from the classic coronal lift?
Coronal lift uses a long ear-to-ear incision. Endoscopic lift uses 3-5 small hidden incisions, with no visible scar, no major sensory loss and much faster recovery.
Is hair growth in the incision area affected?
No. Incisions are made parallel to hair follicles, preserving them. Hair growth at the scar level is normal after healing.
