Comparative estimation of results for endoscopic lifting of the face upper part in dynamics of early and late postoperative period was adduced. In accordance to results of analysis, concerning the eyebrows height in a control terms, there was established, that through one year postoperatively the eyebrows have a tendency towards ptosis due to activity of the eyes circular muscles. Deterioration of the result achieved post-operatively is less prominent in patients after preliminary chemical denervation of mimic muscles. Chemical denervation of the eyes circular muscles, using injections of botulinic toxine type A before 2 weeks preoperatively secures a stable fixation of tissues in early postoperative period, what permits to escape loss of the result achieved, secures the results improvement in late postoperative period in 3.7 times.
