• People who say they look older than they feel or appear angry or tired.
• Patients who have wrinkle lines across the forehead from holding the eyebrows up to see better.
• Patients with deep furrow lines between the eyebrows.
• Patients with sagging or drooping eyebrows that create hooding on the upper eyelids.

THE RESULTTHE ENDOSCOPIC (MINIMAL INCISION) PROCEDURE

• Three to four small incisions are made in the hairline. A camera (endoscope) is inserted that allows Dr. Sukkar to remove a portion of the muscle and to lift and tighten the forehead and brow.
• Local or general anesthesia can be used and it takes about one hour.
• This can be combined with the eyelift or facelift.
