“Extreme” makeovers can be just that……extreme! Now, new technology allows patients to have a brow lift makeover that is easier on the patient, is simpler for the surgeon to perform, has a quicker recover time, achieves better results, and is more natural looking.

San Diego, CA May 8, 2004 -- Many patients in the 35 to 50 age group are not looking for a radical makeover, but rather a more understated rejuvenation that brings them back seven to ten years. With the exclusive new Mini Brow Lift performed at New Image Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Schafer has created one of the most exciting procedures to be developed in the last decade. Using an Endotine Forehead bio-absorbable implant, Dr. Schafer inserts the device underneath the skin of the forehead. The device has absorbable tines that capture and elevate the brow, holding it in position until the soft tissues re-adhere to the forehead area. This unique feature provides Dr. Schafer with the ability to make adjustments during the procedure to ensure the elevation is appropriate and optimal, resulting in a more natural outcome. The device then gradually re-absorbs over time until it is completely gone.

Currently, most brow lift surgeries are performed using suture-based fixation techniques or with metal screws, which can protrude visibly through the top of the scalp and must be removed post-surgery. This can result in alopecia (hair loss) due to hair follicles being damaged. Since Dr. Schafer’s Mini Brow Lift using the Endotine Forehead device is placed under the skin, where it absorbs over time, this eliminates the need for removal and minimizes the risk of hair loss.

The outcome is a brow lift that is easier on the patient, is simpler for the surgeon to perform, has a quicker recover time, achieves better results, and is more natural looking. And that is anything BUT “extreme”.
