In this method, a small camera on the end of a long instrument (an endoscope) is inserted underneath the skin and tissues to perform the surgery. In doing so, the incisions necessary for the surgery can be very small. Also, this allows Dr. Sanderson to make the incisions in less visible places, further enhancing the postoperative result!

In endoscopic forehead surgery, the small incisions are placed above the hairline, in the scalp. There are usually six incisions, which are hidden in the hair. Through these, the tissues of the forehead and eyebrows are freed and elevated to a more natural level, restoring the youthful position. To maintain this new position, two very tiny anchors are placed. These titanium anchors are permanent, and will support the tissues for many years.
