Forehead Lift

Who is a candidate?

• 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).

Intended results

• A more youthful and rested appearance to the forehead and upper eyelids.

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

• 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

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