Suture Brow Lift, What the Endoscopic Technique Is and Who It Suits
An endoscopic brow lift holds sagging skin in place with a choice of 3 materials. With S45 Facelift, every case is handled with care at every step by an experienced surgeon, to help with problems and concerns such as:
- low brows, which can make you look stern or tired
- drooping upper eyelids, which make the eyelid crease narrower and can affect vision
- eyes that look dull and tired
- deep lines on the forehead and between the brows
- sagging in the upper face and cheeks, which can make you look older than your age

Lifting the Brows and Forehead, and Reducing a Double Chin, a Sagging Jawline and Lines
- small incisions, 3 to 5 of them, hidden in the hairline
- helps with drooping upper eyelids, reduces lines and lifts the muscles into a suitable position
- bruising and swelling are usually mild, and most people can return to daily life within 1 week, depending on each person
- the face does not look stiff and you can still make facial expressions normally
Suture for Holding Sagging Skin (Endoscopic Brow Lift, EBL)
Suitable for mild to moderate sagging. The tissue is held with non-dissolving stitches, which give a good pull at specific points. It suits people with slightly low brows and mild sagging, especially aged 25 to 35. Results last 5 to 8 years, depending on each person.
Suture costs less than an endoscopic brow lift with other materials.
The small incisions are just inside the hairline, so the surgical scar is hidden by the hair.
The muscles and tissue of the forehead are lifted and held in a suitable position point by point. The material is very small, so a bump is unlikely to be felt, which suits people with thin skin and a thin scalp. For an endoscopic brow lift, the surgeon assesses each case for sagging and skin condition, and uses a technique suited to that case for a smooth result.
Who Is the Suture Technique Suitable For?
- people with thin forehead skin, little fat under the skin or very thin skin, as Endotine may leave an edge or a bump that can be felt in the first 6 to 12 months, while sutures blend more smoothly with the skin without a visible bump
- people with slightly low brows who want a subtle change, lifting the brows to a level position for brighter-looking eyes and a softer look
- people whose outer brows droop or are uneven, as the surgeon can use sutures to pull flexibly and precisely at specific points
