Endoscopic Forehead Lift
A brow-lift that restores the natural arch of the brow without an over-lifted appearance.
Overview
Forehead Lift — in our words.
A forehead lift, or brow lift, addresses descent of the brow and deepening of the upper-lid hollows.
Performed selectively — many patients are better served by an upper-lid blepharoplasty alone. The decision is made in consultation.
Who it's for
- Patients whose brow position has descended with age.
- Patients whose upper eyelid heaviness comes primarily from the brow, not the lid itself.
Technique
How we operate.
Endoscopic access through small incisions hidden in the hairline. The brow architecture is elevated and secured to the underlying bone.

Risks & honesty
What we don't pretend isn't true.
- No surgery is risk-free. We discuss the specific risks of your case in consultation, not as boilerplate.
- Individual results vary. Patient anatomy, age, healing biology and aftercare all shape the outcome.
- Revision rates across our recorded series are below the published industry average — but they are not zero.
- Sensory changes in the forehead scalp are common and usually resolve within three months.
No surgical or non-surgical procedure is risk-free. Individual results vary. This page is a summary; the full discussion happens in consultation.
Questions
Questions worth answering.
No — avoiding that look is the specific goal of the endoscopic technique. The brow is elevated and secured just enough to restore its natural arch and position; an over-lifted, permanently “surprised” look means the brow was raised too far, which is why many patients are better served by a conservative lift or an eyelid procedure alone — decided in consultation.
Dr. Nader Saab conducts every consultation personally — not a coordinator or associate. He examines your anatomy, discusses what a realistic result looks like for your face, and addresses the specific risks of your case directly rather than in general terms.
