Brow lift surgery is one of the most popular procedures today, especially among individuals experiencing drooping eyelids, sagging brows, or outer eye corners—often caused by aging or genetics. These issues can affect confidence and facial expression. The Endotine brow lift not only corrects sagging brows but also brightens and rejuvenates the face. It delivers natural-looking results that last 5–10 years, without the need for frequent Botox injections.
Types of Brow Lift Techniques
At BLS Surgery Center, two highly effective and widely recognized techniques are used to correct brow and outer eye sagging:
1. Direct Brow Lift
A traditional method suitable for individuals with brow ptosis, especially older adults. This technique repositions the brow to a more youthful level, improving facial brightness and expression.
2. Endo-Brow Lift (Endoscopic Brow Lift)
A modern, highly popular technique using an endoscope to perform the lift. Incisions are only 1–2 cm, hidden within the hairline, resulting in minimal scarring and fast recovery. The Endotine material used dissolves naturally without side effects. Today, endoscopic brow lift is more favored than traditional methods.
Choosing the right technique depends on your facial structure and specific concerns to ensure precise correction and optimal results.
Q: What Is Brow Ptosis and Why Lift the Brows?
A: Brow ptosis refers to the condition where the brow and outer brow fall below their natural position. This may cause the outer brow to sit lower than the inner brow, narrow the space between brow and eyelid, and lead to sagging eyelids. The result is a tired, aged appearance and reduced confidence. It can also impair vision. Causes include:
- Genetics: Inherited facial traits may predispose individuals to brow ptosis.
- Aging: Loss of skin elasticity and weakening of the muscles around the eyes.
- Forehead muscle weakness: Inability to support the brow properly.
- Eyelid muscle weakness: Inadequate lifting of the eyelid, contributing to brow sagging.
- Repetitive behaviors: Prolonged screen time or frequent frowning can weaken surrounding muscles.
Endo-Brow Lift at BLS Surgery Center is a popular solution, using endoscopic techniques to lift the brow with minimal incisions—restoring brightness and youthfulness.
Q: Where Should the Inner Brow Be Positioned?
A: Ideally, the inner brow should align with the nose and sit about 1 cm above the orbital rim. This creates a lively, youthful look. If the brow is lower than the orbital rim, it indicates brow ptosis, which narrows the brow–eyelid space and may accompany sagging eyelids.
Q: What Does Drooping Outer Brow Look Like?
A: Drooping outer brow is when the tail of the brow falls significantly below the inner brow. It’s caused by skin and muscle laxity, often due to aging. This not only affects facial harmony but may also press on the eyelid and impair vision.
Q: Why Are My Brows Uneven?
A: Uneven brows are common and can affect appearance and confidence. Causes include:
- Genetics: Inherited asymmetry, sometimes affecting only one brow.
- Aging: Skin and muscle laxity can cause uneven brow height.
- Orbital bone structure: Differences in bone depth or position.
- Eyelid muscle weakness: Leads to ptosis and compensatory brow lifting, creating asymmetry over time.
Q: How Many Types of Brow Lift Are There?
A: At BLS Surgery Center, two main techniques are recommended:
1. Direct Brow Lift
Designed to lift the upper brow by removing excess skin and tightening the outer brow. Incisions are made along the upper brow edge. Ideal for older individuals or those with significant brow ptosis. Can be combined with eyelid surgery for enhanced results.
2. Endo-Brow Lift (Endoscopic Brow Lift)
Uses a small 1–2 cm incision to insert an endoscope and lift the outer brow and eye corner. Targets the forehead, brow, outer eye, and upper cheek. Endotine, a dissolvable medical anchor, is used to secure the lift. Incisions are hidden in the hairline, with no visible facial scars and minimal downtime. Perfect for correcting brow ptosis, outer eye sagging, and forehead wrinkles—resulting in a youthful, natural look.
Q: Who Is Direct Brow Lift Suitable For?
A: Ideal for individuals with significant brow and forehead laxity—whether due to age or genetics. Especially suitable for those wanting to reshape the brow and reduce facial tension. Can also address sagging eyelids for a brighter, younger appearance.
Q: What Is Endotine Brow Lift?
A: Endotine Brow Lift is an endoscopic brow lift using Endotine, a small triangular medical anchor that secures soft tissue in the desired position. No large incisions are needed—just a small 2 cm cut hidden in the hairline. BLS Surgery Center uses the Invisible Lock technique to conceal scars and ensure natural-looking results.
Q: What Is Endotine?
A: Endotine is an FDA-approved medical device designed for facial lifting procedures, especially Endoscopic Brow Lift. It’s a soft, blunt triangular anchor only 1.5 cm in size, with five micro-spikes that lock into the skin layer. It lifts tissue up to 3 cm deep, dissolves naturally within 6–12 months, and leaves no residue. Results last 5–10 years, depending on skin condition and post-op care.
Q: What Does Endotine Brow Lift Help With?
A: Endotine Brow Lift addresses:
- Drooping brows
- Outer eye sagging
- Upper cheek laxity
- Narrow brow–eyelid space
- Frown lines
- Forehead wrinkles
- Sagging cheeks
It restores brightness and youthfulness with long-lasting, natural results.

Q: What Are the Benefits of Endotine?
A: Endotine is a brow and outer eye lifting procedure performed via endoscopic brow lift. It’s a targeted solution that repositions the brow to its ideal location. BLS Surgery Center has compiled the 9 key benefits of Endotine right here:
Endotine: Small Procedure, Big Results
Endotine uses endoscopic techniques to create tiny incisions and lift the skin at the periosteal layer—the deepest tissue layer. This allows for effective lifting and correction of sagging, especially around the outer brow and eye corner, without major surgery. It addresses brow ptosis, outer eye drooping, and forehead wrinkles, restoring brightness and youthfulness with minimal time investment.
Corrects Brow Ptosis, Outer Eye Droop, and Upper Cheek Sagging
Endotine brow lift solves multiple concerns—drooping brows, outer eyes, and facial laxity. It increases the space between brow and eye, improving facial proportions and delivering a fresher, younger look.
Youthful Look and Bright Eyes Restored
Endotine helps rebalance the eye area, enhancing eyelid definition, reducing sagging and wrinkles, and giving the face a youthful glow with radiant eyes.
High-Quality Endotine Material
The Endotine device is FDA-approved (USA), safe, and naturally dissolves without residue—minimizing risk of complications.
Tiny Incisions with Invisible Lock Technique
Endo-Brow Lift creates incisions just 1–2 cm, hidden in the hairline using BLS’s Invisible Lock technique. No visible facial scars, and hair growth remains unaffected.
No Facial Scars
Endotine brow lift leaves no scars on the face. Incisions are hidden in the hairline—undetectable unless disclosed by the patient.
Minimal Downtime Surgery
Endo-Brow Lift is ideal for those with limited recovery time. The endoscopic method creates small, hidden incisions without damaging surrounding tissue, allowing patients to resume daily life quickly—often with virtually no downtime compared to other surgical methods.
Natural-Looking Results
Endotine delivers precise lifting that looks natural—never overly tight or artificial.Long-Lasting Beauty: 5–10 Years
Results last 5–10 years, depending on skin condition and post-op care—no need for frequent repeat procedures.
Q: How Many Endotine Anchors Are Needed to Correct Brow Ptosis?
A: Typically, 2 Endotine anchors (1 pair) are used—one for each brow. This is sufficient to reposition the brows effectively.
Q: What’s the Difference Between Face Lift and Endotine?
A: Both aim to lift and firm the face, but differ in technique and scope:
- Face Lift focuses on overall facial contouring—lifting sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles, especially around nasolabial folds, jowls, marionette lines, and mouth corners. Incisions are made along the hairline and ear contour, hidden using the Invisible Lock technique. Recovery may take longer, but results last 5–10 years.
- Endo-Brow Lift with Endotine targets the upper face—lifting brows, outer eyes, and upper cheeks. It’s ideal for correcting brow ptosis, outer eye droop, narrow brow–eyelid spacing, and frown lines. Endoscopic incisions are small and hidden in the hairline. Endotine anchors lift tissue naturally, with minimal scarring and downtime. Results last 5–10 years.
Q: How Many Days Until Swelling Subsides? How Long Until Brows Settle?
A: Endotine involves minimal recovery due to its endoscopic approach. Tiny incisions cause little trauma to surrounding tissue. Most patients experience minimal swelling or bruising, and can resume normal activities quickly.
- Stitch removal: after 7 days
- Brow and outer eye lift settles: within 1 month, achieving the designed position with natural-looking results
Q: How Long Does Brow Lift Surgery Last?
A: Endotine brow lift (Endo-Brow Lift) lifts deeper tissue layers, resulting in long-lasting effects. On average, results last 5–10 years.
