Interested in Toronto Endoscopic Brow Lift? At ID Cosmetic Clinic, we don’t provide this procedure, but our Thread Brow Lifting is quiet popular in Toronto, which is highly recommend by our clients, and received a lot of 5-star Google reviews.
Introduction
If your eyebrows are starting to droop or you notice deep forehead lines that make you look constantly tired or stressed, you’re not alone. Aging affects everyone differently, but one area that often shows early signs is the upper face.
The good news? There’s a way to lift and refresh that area without the long scars or downtime of traditional surgery. Enter the endoscopic brow lift—a minimally invasive technique that’s revolutionizing how we age gracefully.
Whether you’re considering your first cosmetic procedure or looking to upgrade from temporary treatments like Botox, an endoscopic brow lift may offer the perfect balance of subtlety, effectiveness, and recovery ease.
What Is an Endoscopic Brow Lift?
An endoscopic brow lift is a modern surgical technique used to lift sagging brows and smooth forehead wrinkles through tiny incisions hidden in the hairline. It uses a small camera (an endoscope) to guide the surgeon as they reposition underlying tissues and muscles, giving the face a more lifted and youthful appearance.
This technique is a favorite for those looking for real results without the visible scarring or extended downtime of older brow lift methods.
How Does It Work?
Here’s a simplified breakdown of what happens during an endoscopic brow lift:
Incisions: Five small incisions (each about 1 cm long) are made just behind the hairline.
Camera Insertion: An endoscope is inserted through one incision to allow internal viewing.
Tissue Repositioning: Specialized instruments are used to lift the brow and secure tissues in a higher position.
Fixation: Sutures or tiny anchors hold everything in place.
Closure: Incisions are closed and hidden within the hair.
The entire procedure typically takes 1–2 hours and can be done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your preference and surgeon’s recommendation.

Endoscopic Brow Lift vs. Thread Brow Lift
When considering non-traditional surgical brow enhancements, many people compare the endoscopic brow lift to the thread brow lift. Both aim to lift the brows and rejuvenate the upper face, but they differ greatly in technique, longevity, and who they’re best suited for.
| Feature | Endoscopic Brow Lift | Thread Brow Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive (small incisions) | Non-surgical (threads via needle) |
| Anesthesia | Local or general anesthesia | Local anesthesia |
| Scarring | Tiny scars hidden in hairline | No visible scarring |
| Downtime | 7–10 days | 1–3 days |
| Longevity of Results | 7–10 years | 6–18 months |
| Best For | Moderate to advanced sagging | Mild to moderate sagging |
| Results Onset | Gradual (over a few weeks) | Immediate lift with some settling |
| Cost Estimate (USD) | $3,500 – $6,500 | $1,200 – $2,500 |
| Maintenance Required | None needed for years | Touch-ups needed yearly or sooner |
| Risks | Minimal; includes bruising, swelling | Thread migration, asymmetry, infection |
Summary of Key Differences
Thread lifts offer instant gratification and less downtime, but are temporary and often best for those in their 30s or early 40s.
Endoscopic brow lifts require more downtime and cost more initially, but deliver long-lasting results and a more comprehensive lift.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose Endoscopic Brow Lift if you want long-term results and have noticeable brow sagging or forehead aging.
Choose Thread Brow Lift if you’re looking for a quick fix with less commitment, or if you’re just beginning to notice mild brow descent.
Always consult with a qualified provider to determine which procedure best aligns with your aesthetic goals, skin condition, and lifestyle preferences.
