What Is an Endoscopic
Brow Lift?

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive way to rejuvenate the upper face. Rather than the long incision older brow lifts required, Dr. Prendiville works through a few small incisions hidden within the hairline, using a tiny camera, the endoscope, to see and adjust the muscles and tissue beneath the skin. He gently elevates the brow and releases the muscles that pull it down and create frown lines, softening the whole forehead while preserving the way you naturally express yourself.
Unlike older techniques, this method avoids a heavy or “surprised” look.
The result: You still look like you.
Just rested, refined, and radiantly awake.

What the Procedure Involves

An upper face that looks like you - only more rested. Through tiny incisions tucked quietly into the hairline, Dr. Stephen Prendiville gently lifts the brow and softens the lines that can make you appear more tired or tense than you feel, all while preserving the natural expressions that make you, you. A fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeon, here in Fort Myers.

How the Lift Works

Working through the hidden incisions, Dr. Prendiville repositions the brow to a natural, refreshed height and adjusts the muscles responsible for frown lines and the vertical “11s” between the brows. Because the brow is lifted rather than the skin simply pulled, the result opens the eyes without changing their shape and avoids the heavy, surprised look that older techniques create.

Often Paired with Eyelid Surgery

A heavy brow and heavy upper eyelids often appear together, and the two are easy to confuse. At your consultation, Dr. Prendiville will tell you whether a brow lift alone, eyelid surgery alone, or the two combined will give you the most natural result. Combining them is common and can mean a single recovery rather than two.

Anesthesia & Setting

Your procedure is performed in a fully accredited in-office surgical suite, with the same careful monitoring and safety standards you'd expect in a hospital setting and the added comfort of a more private, personal environment. Most patients are home the same day, recovering in the familiar surroundings where they feel most at ease.

Elevate More Than the Brow, Uplift the Entire Expression.

As time weaves its quiet story across the face, the brow begins to descend. Tension gathers. Eyes appear tired. The once-open canvas of the upper face starts to dim.
But with the right hand, a light touch, a precise lift, everything can change.

Your gaze opens. Your energy returns. Your reflection once again matches how you feel within.

Is a brow lift right for you?

A brow lift may be worth exploring when your upper face has begun to look more tired or tense than you actually feel - when your reflection just doesn't quite match the energy you bring to the world. Dr. Prendiville commonly sees people who are:

What Makes a Strong Candidate for Brow Lift Surgery

A brow lift is a meaningful step, and like any procedure, it isn't the right fit for everyone. If a nonsurgical approach or another path would serve you better, Dr. Prendiville will tell you honestly and with care.
Your well-being will always matter more than any single procedure.

Your Experience,
Step by step

1. Private consultation and facial analysis Every brow lift begins with a conversation about your whole upper face, not just your brow. Dr. Prendiville studies how your brow, eyes, and forehead relate to one another, listens to what bothers you, and tells you candidly whether a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or a combination will serve you best.
2. A plan made for your anatomy No two faces are alike, and your plan reflects that. Dr. Prendiville shapes every approach around what makes you uniquely you - your brow position, your forehead, your hairline, and the goals that matter most to you - including whether combining procedures might help you feel your very best.
3. The day of surgery From start to finish, your comfort and privacy are a priority. The procedure is performed in a fully accredited in-office surgical suite, through small, carefully hidden incisions. Most patients are home the same day, beginning their recovery in familiar surroundings where they feel most at ease.
4. Guided recovery Healing is a process, and Dr. Prendiville's team is with you through all of it. From your first day of recovery to your follow-up visits, you'll have clear guidance, thoughtful check-ins, and someone to turn to whenever you have questions — so you never have to wonder if what you're feeling is normal.

What Recovery Really Looks Like

Because the brow lift is done through tiny incisions, recovery is more comfortable than most people expect. Swelling and bruising settle in stages, and the result continues to look more natural as the weeks pass.

TIMEFRAME

WHAT TO EXPECT

First few days
Swelling and some bruising around the forehead and eyes are normal and peak early. Most people rest at home with their head elevated.
About 1 week
Any sutures or clips placed in the hairline are typically removed. Swelling is settling and you begin to feel more yourself.
7 to 10 days
Most patients feel ready to return to daily activities and low-key social settings. Bruising can usually be covered easily.
2 to 3 weeks
Residual swelling continues to fade. Many patients feel comfortable in most settings and the lift looks increasingly natural.
3 to 6 weeks
Strenuous exercise and activities are resumed on Dr. Prendiville’s schedule once you are cleared.
Several months
The final, settled result emerges as the last subtle swelling resolves. Results are long-lasting and age gracefully with you.

A Quick Recovery.
A Lasting Impression.

Because the procedure is performed through tiny incisions, downtime is reduced and scarring is virtually invisible. Most patients return to daily activities within 7–10 days, enjoying long-lasting results that age gracefully with time.
You won’t leave looking different. You’ll leave looking right.

When a brow lift is done well, no one knows you have had it. They just see you: more open, more rested, more you.

The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but the brow is the frame.

Dr. Stephen Prendiville is a fellowship-trained, board-certified facial plastic surgeon whose practice is devoted entirely to the face. That singular focus matters deeply when it comes to the brow - a delicate area that responds best to a surgeon who understands how it moves and balances with the eyes and forehead, who thinks in harmony rather than correction. The result is a face that doesn't look like it's been touched - just one that looks genuinely well.
