Dr. Gross may use an endoscopic procedure when performing browlifts, which greatly minimizes the size of incisions and the resulting scars.

Through these incisions, a thin tube in inserted which is attached to a camera. The surgeon then modifies the muscles that cause wrinkling and lifts your eyebrows to a more pleasing level.
