Forehead lifting

Forehead Lifting addresses eyebrow position and loose or wrinkled forehead skin and underlying tissue.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift

The Endoscopic Eyebrow / Forehead Lift is very popular. It requires 5 small incisions hidden in the hair and leaves no visible scar. This procedure can lift everything from the hairline to the eyebrows. It tightens and smoothes the entire forehead while lifting the eyebrow area which "opens up" the entire upper face. Eyebrow shape and asymmetry can be addressed with this type of lift.

Recovery: Following the procedure there will be some bruising and swelling. Patients are usually comfortable returning to their normal routine activities in about 2 weeks.

The Pretrichial Eyebrow/ Forehead

The Pretrichial Eyebrow / Forehead Lift requires a long incision. This procedure is ideal for patients who want to both lift the eyebrows and raise and shorten the forehead by removing a strip of skin and underlying tissue along the incision. Because the forehead is shortened, the hairline is lowered which is ideal for those with a high forehead. This procedure lifts everything from the hairline down to the eyebrows and can address eyebrow shape and asymmetry. The scar from the incision, once healed, is virtually undetectable.

Forehead Lift duration and anesthesia: Approximately 2 hours under general anesthesia.

Recovery: Usual activities and hair wash can be done after 1 week. Stitches will be removed after 2 weeks.

Rare complications: Mild edema and hematoma on the forehead.
