Subtle Brow Elevation, Naturally Refreshed Eyes
A brow lift using Endotines through a transblepharoplasty approach offers a precise, minimally invasive way to restore the brow to a natural position, often without additional visible incisions.
This technique is ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation of the upper face.
What Is a Transblepharoplasty Brow Lift?
A transblepharoplasty brow lift is performed through the same incision used for upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Through this discreet approach, the brow can be gently elevated and supported without creating separate forehead or scalp incisions.
When Endotine fixation devices are used, they help secure the brow in its new, natural position while healing occurs.
The result is a smoother transition between the brow and eyelid, creating a brighter, more rested appearance.
What Are Endotines?
Endotines are small, bioabsorbable fixation devices designed to support lifted tissue during healing. They provide gentle, secure support to maintain brow position while your body heals and adapts.
Over time, the Endotine material naturally dissolves, leaving only your own tissue maintaining the result.
Benefits include:
- Stable brow positioning during healing
- Precise control of brow height and contour
- No permanent implants
- Predictable, natural results
What Concerns Does This Procedure Address?
A brow lift with Endotines can improve:
- Mild to moderate brow drooping
- Upper eyelid heaviness caused by brow descent
- A tired or heavy-eyed appearance
- Early forehead aging
- Subtle asymmetry in brow position
It is especially effective when combined with upper blepharoplasty.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Notice brow descent but not severe forehead sagging
- Feel your upper eyelids look heavy
- Want subtle, natural elevation
- Prefer minimal incisions
- Are already considering eyelid surgery
- Are in good general health
Patients with more significant brow descent may benefit from other brow lift techniques, which can be discussed during consultation.
The Butler Approach
David Butler, MD approaches brow rejuvenation conservatively and artistically. The goal is never to over-elevate the brow or create a surprised look.
Instead, the focus is on restoring a natural, relaxed brow position that complements your facial structure.
Each plan is tailored based on:
- Brow anatomy
- Facial proportions
- Skin quality
- Degree of brow descent
- Desired outcome
Subtlety and balance are always prioritized.
Recovery & Downtime
Because the procedure uses eyelid incisions, recovery is similar to blepharoplasty:
- Mild swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
- Most patients resume normal activities within 7–10 days
- Incisions are hidden in natural eyelid creases
- Results refine as swelling resolves
Patients often find recovery easier than expected.
Natural, Long-Lasting Results
When performed thoughtfully, a transblepharoplasty brow lift provides gentle, long-lasting improvement without changing your natural expression.
You should look refreshed, not different.
