Brow Lift

Endoscopic brow repositioning with minimal incisions

Dr. Carlo Honrado performs endoscopic brow lift in Beverly Hills and Century City using small hairline incisions and endoscopic visualization — achieving brow elevation with minimal scarring compared to coronal technique. The appropriate approach is determined during a formal consultation.

The procedure may address descended brow position, deep horizontal forehead creases, furrowing between the brows, and a heavy, tired appearance caused by soft tissue ptosis. Each patient's anatomy determines the appropriate correction.

Candidacy
