Endoscopic Brow Lift in San Diego with Dr. Amir Moradi

If you’ve been feeling like your brow has slipped over time, making you look tired, heavy-browed, or even angry when you’re not, an endoscopic brow lift might be exactly what you need. Dr. Amir Moradi offers this advanced technique in San Diego, giving patients a way to rejuvenate the upper face with less visible scarring, quicker recovery, and natural-looking results. Many surgeons still use older methods; here’s why Dr. Moradi’s choice of endoscopic makes a difference.

What Is A Brow Lift?

A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure to raise the brow and smooth forehead creases, treating the signs of aging on your upper face. The procedure can correct a low or sagging brow, smooth deep creases between the eyebrows, and open up the eye area.

At Moradi MD, brow lift surgery is performed with meticulous techniques to enhance your natural facial structure without creating a look that appears overly pulled or artificial.

What is an Endoscopic Brow Lift?

  • An endoscopic brow lift is a less invasive surgical procedure to lift the eyebrows and smooth forehead creases using tiny incisions hidden in the hairline.
  • Through these small openings, Dr. Moradi uses an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera + light) and specially designed instruments to see beneath the skin, reposition soft tissue, adjust muscles, and lift the brow with precision.
  • Because it avoids one large incision, there's less disruption to hair follicles, less visible scarring, and less risk of pulling the hairline or leaving a “pulled back” look.

What Are The Benefits Of A Brow Lift?

  • Youthful, rested appearance: As brows droop, the eyes can feel hooded, the brow line lowers, and forehead lines deepen. Lifting the brow re-opens the upper face; you look more awake and less weighed down.
  • Expression reset: If your face often looks tired, angry, or sad, even when you’re not, it could be your brow position. Correcting that helps your natural expression better match how you feel.
  • Long-lasting change: Unlike non-surgical fixes (e.g. Botox, fillers) that fade or need repeat visits, a brow lift gives longer term results.
  • Preservation of natural features: The goal isn’t to drastically change how you look; it’s to restore harmony, smooth lines, and lift shadows. The endoscopic technique helps avoid over-pulling or artificial tension.

An endoscopic brow lift could be performed in combination with customized eyelid surgery, a facelift, or a neck lift for a truly age-defying change.

Are You A Candidate For A Brow Lift?

You may be a candidate for a brow lift if you are living with any of these aesthetic facial issues:

  • Your eyebrows have drifted lower over the years.
  • You often look tired, angry, or sad—even if you are well-rested and cheerful.
  • You have deep forehead creases. 
  • You have etched-in frown lines between your eyebrows.
  • You have an overhanging, heavy brow.
  • You have good skin elasticity and are in overall good health.
  • You want a surgical solution for long-lasting rejuvenation of the upper face.

Brow lift surgery can be performed alone or as part of a more comprehensive facial procedure plan.

The Truth About “Ponytail Lifts” and “Fox Eye Lifts”

In recent years, terms like the “ponytail lift” and “fox eye lift” have gained popularity on social media, but both are essentially variations on the brow lift concept. The idea behind the ponytail lift comes from the naturally refreshed and elevated look the brow and eyes take on when the hair is pulled back tightly into a high ponytail. Similarly, the fox eye lift describes the elongated, almond-shaped eye appearance that comes from subtly raising the outer brow and eyelid area.

While these terms sound trendy, what patients are really seeking is a more youthful, rested, and lifted upper face. With Dr. Moradi’s endoscopic brow lift, patients can achieve these same aesthetic goals, but in a precise, controlled, and long-lasting way. Rather than temporary tricks or overly aggressive pulling, the endoscopic technique allows for strategic repositioning of the brow and forehead tissues through tiny hidden incisions. The result is a natural enhancement of the brow’s height and shape that can mimic the refreshed, open look of a ponytail or fox eye lift, while maintaining harmony and balance across the face.

  • Results-focused philosophy: With a “less is more” aesthetic, we focus on enhancing—not changing—your appearance.

Why Many Surgeons Don’t Use Endoscopic — and Why Dr. Moradi Does

Many facial plastic surgeons still rely on classic techniques (coronal brow lifts, direct brow lifts, etc.) because:

  • They’re more familiar with them.
  • For severe brow drooping or heavy skin, older methods might seem more “surefire.”
  • Some practices don’t have the equipment, training, or experience for the endoscopic method.

Dr. Moradi, however, does endoscopic brow lifts (among other techniques), meaning:

  • He has the training and skill to thread the camera, see what’s under the surface, and plan the lift precisely.
  • He can offer you a minimally invasive option where many others may push the more invasive classic lift.
  • He pays attention to the trade-offs: balancing how much lift you need vs. minimizing scars, downtime, and risk.

  • Recovery that tends to be faster and with less discomfort compared to more invasive styles (because endoscopic cases generally cause less tissue trauma).

What Is the Brow Lift Recovery?

Recovery from a brow lift is usually uneventful and swift. Most patients return to work and light activities in seven to ten days. It is normal to experience mild swelling, tightness, or bruising around the forehead and eyes, subsiding over the first week or two.

You will need to keep your head elevated, avoid vigorous physical activity, and follow our post-op instructions for optimal healing. Results become more refined as swelling fades over the next several weeks. Your new brow position will appear smoother, lifted, and more youthful—you will look younger, more vital, and significantly refreshed.

Types Of Brow Lifts What’s Right For You?

  • Endoscopic brow lift: Minimally invasive with small incisions and shorter recovery time
  • Temporal brow lift: Targets the outer brows for subtle lateral elevation
  • Classic coronal lift: Provides the most significant lift with longer incisions within the hairline
  • Direct brow lift: For select candidates, especially men, with incisions directly above the brows

Other Procedures The Journey To A More Youthful Look 

  • Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): Addresses heavy lids and puffiness for more open, youthful eyes
  • Facelift: Corrects sagging in the mid and lower face to complement the brow
  • BOTOX®: A temporary, non-surgical option to soften forehead and frown lines
  • Dermal fillers: Can help smooth the deeper creases and enhance brow lift results
  • Laser skin resurfacing: Improves skin tone and texture for a more youthful finish

Will a brow lift change how I look?

A properly performed brow lift won’t make you look different—just well-rested, restored, and lifted. You’ll still look like yourself but more approachable and youthful.

Will I have scars?

Incisions are carefully hidden behind the hairline or in natural creases. Once healed, most scars are very difficult to detect.

How long do the results of a brow lift last?

Brow lift results are long-lasting, though your skin will continue to age naturally. Most patients enjoy their results for many years with good skincare and sun protection.

Can I combine a brow lift with other procedures?

Yes. It’s commonly combined with eyelid surgery, facelift, or non-surgical treatments for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Is a brow lift painful?

Discomfort is usually minimal and well-managed with medication. Most patients experience tightness or mild pressure, not intense pain.

Should I have a brow lift or BOTOX injections?

BOTOX relaxes the muscles that create lines but does not physically lift the brow. A surgical brow lift repositions the tissue for more dramatic and lasting results.
