Forehead Lift/Brow Lift in Bellevue and Seattle

	If your forehead sags or your brows hang too low and too close to the eyes.
	If you have deep vertical furrows between the eyebrows (frown lines).
	If the outside of your eyes is covered by a “hood” of brow skin.

Intended results of forehead lift

	A more youthful and rested appearance to the forehead and upper eyelids.
	A more feminine brow position.
	Correction of the “hooding” of the outside corner of the eyes.

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
The majority of times, endoscopic techniques are used to minimize scarring and reduce invasiveness.
Specialized absorbable implants are used for the lift of the brow.

When open techniques are used, the incisions are usually made behind the hairline. For patients with high foreheads, the incisions can be placed in front of the hairline.
The forehead skin is lifted and repositioned. The muscles that cause frown lines are weakened.
Specific attention is paid to the natural feminine position of the eyebrow, without the surprise look.

The patient goes home with head wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed on the first day after surgery.
Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication.
Sutures or staples are removed within 10 days.
Most swelling and bruising is gone in 7-10 days.

Additional procedures that may enhance the result are Lower and/or Upper Eyelid lift, Facelift, or other facial procedures and implants.
