When it comes to incision, it is possible to make it across the head, just next to hairline, so the skin can be peeled. The second path is a bit different and this method is called endoscopy. The endoscope is a long fiber optic tube that is inserted under the patient's skin. This allows the cosmetic surgeon to see the area he will want to excise. This is a great way to see what is going on and it allows the surgeon to make only few smaller incisions, instead of making a big incision across the forehead. The incisions will be used for the instruments and the endoscopic picture will enable surgeon to see what is going on and complete the brow lift without problems.
