Endoscopic Browlift Plastic Surgery
Kyle S. Choe, MD Facial Plastic Surgeon, Virginia Beach, VA
As we age – so do our faces. Gravity takes over and muscles and tissues begin to sag creating an appearance that does not match our biological age or how we really feel. Sagging lower eyelids, frown lines between the eyes or that “angry or fatigued” look in the brow area can be eliminated with an Endoscopic Browlift and rejuvenate that area of the face – making you look younger and restoring harmony to your face. Today looking younger is as important as feeling younger. Browlifts restore some of the youthfulness that time and gravity have taken away.

Endoscopic Browlift Frequently Asked Questions:
How painful is an Endoscopic Browlift? Our patients tell us they experience discomfort rather than pain. Any discomfort you may experience is easily managed with oral pain medication and diminishes each day.
How long will I be out of work? You will be presentable to return to work within 7-10 days.
Will I be awake during surgery? No. You will be given IV sedation and local anesthetic – so you will be asleep and will not hear or feel anything.
How long will the swelling and bruising last? Much of the swelling and bruising will be gone within 7-10 days. Over the next few weeks, as you heal, the residual swelling and bruising quickly diminish until gone.
What about the incisions? The incisions are one half to one inch long and are well concealed in the hairline. Over time they become totally inconspicuous.
