Best Segmental Endoscopic brow lift Surgeon in Charlotte

The Segmental Endoscopic Brow Lift was invented by Dr. Freeman and was published in 2021. The article summarizes his over 15 years of experience using this approach. With this approach, each patient’s degree of aging of the brow is determined before surgery and they are put in one of five different degrees of aging of the forehead. Dr. Freeman will then perform one of five different Segmental Endoscopic Brow Lifts based on the degree of aging of the forehead of each patient.

The Segmental Endoscopic Brow Lift, invented by Dr. Freeman creates more predictable and natural-looking results with a high satisfaction rate.

Aging of the brow occurs differently in every patient which is why Dr. Freeman performs different lifts based on each patient’s exam before surgery. One thing he found in his paper mentioned above is that asymmetric brows are common. Around 20% of his patients have significant brow asymmetry. In these patients, he performs a different endoscopic brow lift on each side, and can significantly improve symmetry.

• Lateral Brow Lift
• Aggressive Lateral Brow Lift
• 3/4 Brow Lift
• Aggressive 3/4 Brow Lift
• Full Brow Lift
• Asymmetrical Brow Lift

The key to getting the look you want is to choose the right cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Freeman is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and has been performing only facial plastic surgery procedures since 1988. His SignatureLift has become one of the more popular procedures at the Center for Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery.

Trust the Facial Plastic Surgeon that other doctors go to for training:

• Dr. Freeman teaches his techniques to other doctors.
• He has performed Deep Plane Face Lifts for over 15 years, and is the author of the Endoscopic Malar Pad Lift which is part of all of Dr. Freeman’s facelifts.
• He created and teaches the Lower Lid: SOOF Lift Blepharoplasty the “Gold Standard” for lower lid blepharoplasty.
• He is the inventor of the Segmental Brow Lift, creating more natural and predictable results.

Why do most patients get better results with an endoscopic brow lift rather than an upper eyelid procedure? Well, it has to do with the cause of upper eyelid area fullness. For most patients, this fullness is due to the migration of the forehead and brow into the upper eyelid area. Occasionally, however, Dr. Freeman sees a patient who has primary fullness of the upper lid that has been present since the patient’s 20s, and, for these patients, an upper lid procedure is often the best option.

Younger adults who have a naturally low brow or who already have deep frown lines due to stress or muscle activity may also benefit from an endoscopic brow lift. When Dr. Freeman uses this technique, the muscles that cause the intense frown lines in the mid-brow area can be weakened thereby reducing the frown lines between the brows.

Segmental Approach for the Endoscopic Brow Lift

Dr. Freeman has developed a new approach to endoscopic brow lift surgery that allows him to improve the predictability of the result. He came up with this approach over fifteen years ago and in 2013 presented this innovative idea to the Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery in New Orleans. He has presented this new approach to endoscopic brow lifts many times since then. In 2021, he published a paper describing his segmental brow lift in “Facial Plastic Surgery” entitled “Preoperative Classification System Used to Determine Release Performed during Endoscopic Brow Lift.”

To circumvent what he calls the “goldilocks phenomenon” he has described five different releases of the brow that allow him to vastly improve the predictability of the result.

The different lifts he describes are a lateral brow lift, an aggressive lateral brow lift, a ¾ brow lift, an aggressive 3/4 brow lift, and a full brow lift.

The advantage of learning how and more importantly when to perform these different lifts based on preoperative analysis of each patient’s forehead and brow is that it improves predictability, which leads to improved patient satisfaction.

It also allows Dr. Freeman to improve asymmetric brows. Asymmetric brows are common and in the past, everyone was taught only one way to perform endoscopic browlifts, so improving asymmetry was difficult. Using Dr. Freeman’s segmental approach, if one brow is lower than the other, he is able to perform a different release on each brow, with the result being an improvement in brow symmetry.
