Question:
A friend of mine recently had a forehead lift and had scalp numbness for several weeks after the procedure. I know that an endoscopic lift is less invasive, so would this also reduce scalp numbness?
Answer:
Scalp numbness behind the incision in the forehead or hairline is a common side effect of an open brow lift procedure. The endoscopic brow lift is a excellent alternative to an open approach brow lift procedure and because the incisions are much smaller, the potential for scalp numbness if significantly reduced without compromising the surgical brow lift outcome.
