Forehead Lift and Brow Lift Procedures
The forehead lines and wrinkles that develop due to habitual facial expressions deepen over time, forming horizontal and vertical creases. These lines cause a person to appear older, as well as sad or tired.
A forehead lift provides a younger, more refreshed appearance by smoothing these lines. It also corrects drooping eyebrows and improves the fullness or heaviness that forms at the outer corners of the eyes. This procedure is not only suitable for older individuals but can also be performed on younger patients who experience early brow descent or forehead wrinkling. The incisions used in this surgery are well hidden and generally not visible.
Patients who require eyelid surgery or a facelift often benefit from undergoing a forehead lift as well. For individuals seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation, forehead lift, eyelid surgery, and facelift procedures can be performed simultaneously to ensure aesthetic harmony.
A forehead lift eliminates forehead wrinkles, elevates sagging eyebrows, and gives the patient a more vibrant and awake appearance. With the endoscopic technique, postoperative recovery is easier, and numbness of the scalp is avoided. The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours and can be combined with other aesthetic surgeries when necessary.
The early postoperative period is usually comfortable. Some swelling or bruising around the forehead and eyes may occur, along with temporary numbness or a feeling of tightness. These effects generally resolve on their own within two weeks.
