In such cases, endoscopic forehead lift, in which there are no worries of skin incisions or scar formation, may improve forehead wrinkles, glabella, crow’s feet, as well as sagging eyelashes and eyelids all at once.

In the second type, the fixed implant called endotine, which is a bio-absorbable soft tissue, can be used for fixation.
