Effective rejuvenation of the upper face results when effective brow repositioning is combined with maintenance or improvement of brow shape. Endoscopic brow lift techniques have increased in popularity as surgeons have investigated less invasive surgical procedures.

It includes a detailed description of hairline brow lift with videos illustrating the authors' preferred technique. It also provides a description of ideal candidates including indications and contraindications to procedure, and common modifications to technique used in select patient populations.
