Transblepharoplasty brow lift by Seattle plastic surgeon
Transblepharoplasty brow lift with Endotine TransBleph fixation devices
Transblepharoplasty brow lift is a wonderful procedure for the patient who needs just a little lift and needs to get back to their cubicle in their high tech Seattle job sooner rather than later. This is also a nice procedure for men who want to avoid too much of a lift which can be very feminizing.
Check out these before and after photos in my gallery.

With the help of a new type of fixation device, I can now do brow lifts on some patients through an upper eyelid incision. This results in less scarring and quicker recovery than a standard brow lift. This procedure is often done at the same time as blepharolplasty. The Endotine TransBleph device is the surgical equivalent of a carpet tack. It dissolves after about 6 months and by that time, the brow should be well fixated in its new elevated position. I have found this procedure to be very effective for many patients who would benefit from a brow lift and I often do it at the same time as an upper lid blepharoplasty. I have before and after photos of patients who have had this procedure in my photo gallery. Take a look!
