Contact UsRestore a More Youthful Brow Position and Refreshed Appearance
One of the earliest signs of facial aging occurs around the eyes and forehead. As the brows gradually descend and forehead tissues change over time, patients often notice a tired appearance, heaviness around the eyes, forehead wrinkles, or a loss of the youthful brow shape they once had.
An endoscopic brow lift is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure designed to restore the brow to a more youthful position while maintaining natural facial expression and movement. Using specialized endoscopic technology, Dr. Jeffrey Gross* is able to precisely visualize the underlying anatomy, protect important sensory nerves, and create natural-looking rejuvenation through small, well-hidden incisions.
Rather than creating a dramatically different appearance, the goal of a brow lift is to restore the anatomy you once had. Many patients find it helpful to bring photographs from their 20s and 30s so Dr. Gross can better understand their natural brow shape and facial balance before aging changes occurred.
Why Patients Consider a Brow Lift
Many patients assume excess skin on the upper eyelids is the primary cause of a tired or heavy appearance. In reality, brow descent is often a significant contributor.
Patients may benefit from a brow lift if they notice:
- Deep forehead creases
- Frown lines between the brows
- Drooping brows
- Heaviness around the eyes
- Hooding of the upper eyelids
- A tired or stern appearance
- Loss of youthful brow contour
- Difficulty achieving a refreshed appearance with non-surgical treatments
For some individuals, what appears to be an eyelid concern may actually be best addressed with a brow lift rather than upper eyelid surgery alone.
Recovery After an Endoscopic Brow Lift
Recovery varies by patient, but most individuals experience temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness in the forehead and scalp during the early stages of healing.
Most patients can expect:
- Mild swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks
- Temporary tightness in the forehead
- Return to light activities within several days
- Continued improvement as swelling resolves
- Small incisions hidden within the hairline
Dr. Gross and the team at Mays Plastic Surgery will provide detailed postoperative instructions and closely monitor your progress throughout recovery.
Schedule Your Consultation
If you are bothered by forehead wrinkles, heavy brows, or a tired appearance around the eyes, an endoscopic brow lift may help restore a naturally youthful and refreshed look.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Jeffrey Gross to learn which brow lift approach may be right for you and begin your journey toward restoring the facial contours you once enjoyed.
Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
Dr Mays is a true professional. He and his team do great work!
Dr Mays and his staff are truly one of a kind and flat out AMAZING! The minute I had my first consult with him I knew I didn't need to look any further. I am 8 months post-op from lipo, breast reduction and tummy tuck. Unfortunately, I had a little setback from a large seroma several months ago that caused some elasticity problems. Dr Mays was confident my revision two weeks ago would yield the results I wanted. He was not wrong! I could not be more happy with my new look. Thank you for everything!
I love the ways he treated us and the results are amazing - Best plastic surgeon in Louisville KY! Indeed! Dr mays is a combination of knowledge and kindness. He really cares about what he does and the patient in front of him! I love the ways he treated us and the results are amazing !!!!
Best experience ever - one of best doctors I’ve ever met - Dr. Mays is one of best doctors I’ve ever met. He listens to what his patients wants and explains everything that they understand what the outcome will be. I was so nervous about going to his office and now I’m always at ease and I credit that to him and his amazing office staff. They truly are the nicest people ever. I’ve recommended everyone I know who is looking for plastic surgery or even Botox to Dr. Mays office.
I had a procedure with Dr.Mays recently. To say I am pleased is an understatement! I love my results and he along with his amazing staff have been incredible. They are extremely responsive with questions or concerns. If you are debating on a provider I 1000% recommend Dr.Mays, you will not be sorry.

Why Choose an Endoscopic Brow Lift?
Unlike older brow lift techniques that relied on larger incisions, modern endoscopic brow lifting allows Dr. Gross to work through small incisions hidden within the hairline.
Benefits may include:
- A smoother, more refreshed forehead appearance
- Restoration of youthful brow shape and contour
- Improvement in heaviness around the eyes
- Natural-looking rejuvenation
- Preservation of normal facial expression and movement
- Protection of important sensory nerves to the forehead and scalp
- Minimal visible scarring
- Long-lasting results
One of the greatest advantages of the endoscopic approach is visualization. Because the endoscope allows Dr. Gross to see the anatomy directly, he can carefully identify and protect the nerves responsible for sensation in the forehead and scalp while performing the procedure.
Dr. Gross’s Advanced Brow Lift Techniques
Every patient ages differently. Dr. Gross offers multiple endoscopic brow lift techniques to address different patterns of aging and help patients achieve the most natural result possible.
Lateral Temporal Brow Lift
The lateral temporal brow lift focuses on restoring youthful contour and shape to the outer portion of the brow.
This technique is designed to elevate the brow tail and recreate the natural brow position many patients enjoyed in their younger years. The goal is not to create an exaggerated or overly arched brow, but rather to restore balance and youthful anatomy around the eyes.
Patients often choose this approach because it provides noticeable rejuvenation while preserving natural expression, movement, and sensation.
Benefits of a lateral temporal brow lift may include:
- Improved grow contour and shape
- A more youthful appearance around the eyes
- Reduction in heaviness of the upper eyelids
- Preservation of forehead and scalp sensation
- Minimal visible scarring
- Natural-looking results
Dr. Gross received specialized training in endoscopic brow lift techniques from Dr. Grady Core, one of the early pioneers in the application of endoscopic technology for brow lifting procedures.
Endoscopic Biplanar Brow Lift
The endoscopic biplanar brow lift is designed to address both brow position and forehead aging through the careful release and repositioning of tissues in multiple anatomical layers.
The “biplanar” technique allows Dr. Gross to comprehensively address aging changes throughout the forehead while maintaining natural facial balance and movement.
This approach may improve:
- Deep forehead creases
- Forehead wrinkles
- Frown lines between the brows
- Drooping brows
- Heaviness around the eyes
- Loss of youthful upper facial contour
Benefits may include:
- A smoother, more refreshed forehead appearance
- Softening of deep forehead lines
- Improved brow position
- A brighter, more rested appearance
- Natural-looking rejuvenation
- Long-lasting results
For patients whose primary concerns include significant forehead aging or deep forehead creases, a biplanar approach may provide more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Endoscopic Brow Lift FAQs
Will I look surprised or overdone?
