Forehead lift procedure description

• 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.
  
• 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.

Recuperation and healing following forehead lift

• The patient goes home with head wrapped in dressings, which are usually removed on the first or second 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.

Other options besides forehead lift
