    TLDR Endoscopic brow-lift is effective and well-tolerated, with high patient satisfaction and improved appearance.
    The study on endoscopic brow-lift (EBL) surgery, involving 57 patients, found high satisfaction rates, with 93% of patients considering the procedure successful and 96% willing to recommend it. Patients reported looking younger and more rested, with increased confidence. While temporary numbness and alopecia at incision sites were common, they were generally minor. Among those with preoperative headaches, 50% experienced improvement. The study noted limitations due to its retrospective nature and participant selection, but concluded that EBL was generally well-tolerated, emphasizing the importance of patient-reported outcomes for improving preoperative counseling and setting realistic expectations.
