Forehead Lift
A forehead lift is designed to help you look younger and more refreshed by removing excess skin, softening wrinkles and improving the overall appearance of your forehead. The procedure is also known as a brow lift, because it can be used to treat sagging eyebrows and brows as well.
Forehead lifts are typically performed on people who are in their 20s through early 40s, although they may also be appropriate for older patients who are experiencing significant changes in their facial structures due to age or weight loss.
Before undergoing a forehead lift, it’s important to understand that there are risks associated with the procedure. These include bleeding and infection at the incision sites; nerve damage; scarring; asymmetry between the right and left sides of the face (which can cause balance issues); headaches; swelling around your eyes; dark spots under your eyes; and asymmetry between your upper lip/nose areas on each side of your face.
The best way to minimize these risks is by choosing a qualified surgeon who has experience performing this type of surgery on patients with similar characteristics as yours (e.g., age range, ethnicity).
A forehead lift, also called a browlift, will lift and rejuvenate the upper part of your face.
A forehead lift, also called a browlift, will lift and rejuvenate the upper part of your face. Your forehead can be made to appear higher, smoother and more youthful.
A forehead lift is often combined with a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or facelift. These procedures can be done at the same time as each other or separately.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia. Incisions are made in hair-bearing areas of the scalp, not in visible areas like behind the ears or on the neck where scarring could be seen by others.
The incisions are closed with stitches that dissolve over time (absorbable sutures). The stitches may be removed a few days after surgery or they may dissolve on their own over time (nonabsorbable sutures).
You will spend one night in the hospital after your surgery; you may need to take some pain medication for a few days after surgery but most people resume normal activities within three weeks of their operation.
A forehead lift can help you look years younger and more alert.
The forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, eyebrows and forehead. The goal of the procedure is to smooth out wrinkles and tighten sagging skin. This can make you look younger and more alert.
The procedure is often combined with other facial plastic surgeries such as an eyelid lift or facelift.
A forehead lift can help you look years younger and more alert.
Facial aging has many causes, including genetics, sun exposure and gravity. Over time, your face becomes less firm and taut, causing wrinkles to form on your forehead, around your eyes and mouth. The excess skin also droops down into the neck area — creating what’s known as turkey neck — which can make you look older than you are.
A forehead lift generally takes about two hours to complete under general anesthesia at an outpatient surgery center or hospital. Because the incisions used in this procedure are hidden inside hair-bearing areas of the scalp, they usually heal quickly with minimal scarring.
If there are also deep horizontal creases across the forehead, you may be considering a forehead lift.
Forehead lift surgery, also known as a brow lift, can help you to look younger and fresher by reducing the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles on your forehead.
If there are also deep horizontal creases across the forehead, you may be considering a forehead lift.
A forehead lift is performed through an incision that is made at the hairline in front of each ear and extends down toward the eyebrows. The procedure typically takes two to three hours to complete, but the actual time spent in surgery varies depending on the complexity of your case.
Afterward, you will be taken to a recovery room where you will stay overnight. Most patients are able to go home within 24 hours after surgery.

The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia in an office setting or in a hospital operating room. The incisions are made behind the hairline and are covered by hair so they are not visible when healed.
The incision pattern depends on the type of correction that is needed. If there is excessive fullness at the temples, then a small incision can be made on either side of the head behind the ear and along the temple to remove excess skin and fat. If there is excess skin along the upper part of the forehead, then an incision may be made above both eyes to remove excess skin in this area. Another approach is to leave most of the scalp intact and make an incision in front of one ear and down across the front of your face to remove excess skin from above both eyes.
Forehead lifts have traditionally been performed through lengthy incisions that often left scars.

Forehead lift surgery can be performed to address a number of different concerns:
To remove excess skin in the forehead region
To smooth out lines, wrinkles and creases caused by aging
To reduce the look of frown lines between the eyebrows
The most common type of forehead lift is an endoscopic brow lift. During this procedure, an endoscope is inserted through tiny incisions made in the scalp and around the eyes. The endoscope allows the surgeon to see internal structures in 3-D and provides a magnified view of the area being treated. The surgeon then uses surgical instruments that are inserted through other small incisions in order to treat specific areas as needed.
People of any age who have had chronic headaches and migraine pain may find that a forehead lift reduces headache frequency and severity.

A forehead lift offers a solution to these issues by allowing the surgeon to tighten muscles and remove excess skin that creates creases.
The forehead is the area of the face that everyone sees first. It is not only important for our appearance, but also for our self-esteem and confidence. When we look at ourselves in the mirror, we see a reflection of ourselves, but others see us as well. The skin on our faces can start to sag and wrinkle with age, leaving us with an aged appearance before we feel we should be.
A forehead lift offers a solution to these issues by allowing the surgeon to tighten muscles and remove excess skin that creates creases. A skilled surgeon will be able to correct this problem by lifting the skin and removing sagging tissues from around your eyes and forehead.

What is a Forehead Lift?
A forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the forehead area to improve a person’s appearance. The procedure is best for those with deep furrows or wrinkles between the eyebrows, a sagging brow and/or jowls (fat deposits around the mouth).
During the procedure, an incision is made above each eyebrow and in front of each ear. The surgeon uses these incisions to elevate the eyebrows and remove excess skin and fat from the forehead area. In some cases, other areas of the face may be treated at the same time.
After surgery, you’ll need to wear bandages on your head for a few days to protect your stitches. You’ll also need instructions on how to care for yourself after surgery.
How is a Forehead Lift different from Botox?
Forehead lifts are performed to remove excess skin and muscle on the forehead and brow. Botox can be used to relax the muscles in this area, but it cannot address the excess skin.
A forehead lift is done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The incision is hidden in the hairline in front of your ear. It is made from ear-to-ear, from one side of your nose to the other side of your nose.
The scars fade over time and will be barely visible after six months to one year.
Botox can be used for lifting of the brows and forehead by relaxing the muscles that cause these lines to form. Botox is injected into specific areas around the eyes and in other areas around the face that cause wrinkles to form. The injections are not permanent and will wear off after three to six months, but they can help make patients look younger while they last.
When will I see the results of my Forehead Lift?
The results of a forehead lift are immediate and can last for one to two years. The procedure is also easy to reverse if you decide that you don’t like the results.
The results of your forehead lift will depend on the amount of skin that is removed, but it should help smooth out your wrinkles and tighten the area around your eyes. Your doctor will discuss with you the amount of skin that needs to be removed for the best results.
The incisions are hidden within the hairline, so they are very difficult to see. You may have some swelling or bruising at first, but this should disappear within a week or two after surgery.
It’s normal for patients to notice an improvement in their appearance immediately after surgery, but it can take several months before all swelling goes away completely and for your new look to become permanent.
Can I combine a Forehead Lift with other cosmetic procedures?
If you are considering a forehead lift, you may also want to consider other facial plastic surgery procedures. A forehead lift can be combined with a brow lift, eye lift, or upper eyelid surgery to give you an overall more youthful appearance.
A forehead lift is performed by making an incision along the hairline and removing excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue. The excess skin is then pulled back into its original position and sutured into place. This procedure can help reduce wrinkles between the eyebrows and remove the extra skin that causes drooping of the eyebrows.
A brow lift is designed to address wrinkles in the middle of the forehead caused by muscle contractions that occur when we frown or smile. This procedure involves removing excess skin from areas around the eyes and tightening underlying muscles in order to restore normal forehead contours. The surgeon will also tighten sagging brows and raise them back up into their original position.
An eye lift involves lifting loose skin around your eyes so that they appear more youthful and vibrant again! In addition to addressing loose sagging skin under your eyes from aging or weight loss, an eye lift can also help reduce wrinkles around your eyes caused by smiling or squinting over time.
How long does a Forehead Lift results last?
The results of a forehead lift are permanent, but not everyone is a candidate for this procedure. The most common complaint after a forehead lift is an unnatural look to the skin that may be visible in certain light conditions or with movement of the face.
Forehead lifts can also cause new wrinkles on top of existing ones, particularly if you have deep frown lines. If your goal is to correct deep frown lines and raise the eyebrows, you may be better off with dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. In some cases, patients who have had forehead lifts report persistent headaches after the operation. This is due to swelling and bruising around the eyes that can last up to two weeks after surgery.
Forehead lifts are usually performed under general anesthesia and last between two and four hours. You should plan on spending at least one night in the hospital following your procedure; most people go home within 24 hours after surgery but some may need longer recovery times depending on their individual circumstances. One week after surgery, you should be able to resume normal activities but avoid strenuous exercise for six weeks after surgery.
Who is a good candidate for forehead lift surgery?
A forehead lift is a cosmetic procedure that can reduce wrinkles and frown lines between the eyebrows, as well as raise the eyebrows. A forehead lift can also remove excess skin in the upper eyelids, which can make eyes appear smaller. The procedure itself is simple and takes about an hour to complete. The surgeon makes small incisions behind the hairline on both sides of your head. He or she then lifts the skin, removes excess tissue and repositions it so it looks more youthful. Small stitches are used to close the incisions.
In most cases, anyone who is unhappy with their aging appearance around their eyes and forehead can benefit from a forehead lift procedure. However, there are certain conditions that may make it unsafe for you to undergo this treatment:
If you have an active infection;
If you have a medical condition such as heart disease or diabetes;
If you smoke cigarettes regularly
Is there anything I need to do before Forehead Lift surgery?
Forehead lift surgery is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the forehead. Forehead lifts can be performed alone or with other facial cosmetic surgeries, such as facelifts, neck lifts and eyelid surgeries.
Before you have forehead lift surgery, you will meet with your surgeon for a consultation. During this visit, you will discuss your goals for the procedure, as well as your medical history and any questions you may have about the procedure and recovery time. You may also want to ask about how many procedures like yours your surgeon has performed in the past year.
Your surgeon will also take photographs of you before your surgery so that she can compare them to how you look after surgery. This will help her determine how much improvement can be made by removing sagging skin and fat from your forehead area.
What are the benefits of a forehead lift?
A forehead lift is a surgical procedure that can be performed to re-contour the forehead and raise the eyebrows. A forehead lift is also known as a ‘brow lift’ or a ‘forehead reconstruction’.
The primary goal of a forehead lift is to create an improved facial appearance by smoothing out creases and wrinkles in the skin. The procedure can also be used to treat excess sagging skin in this area, which may occur due to aging or prolonged sun exposure. The procedure can be performed under general anesthesia, local anesthesia with sedation, or with just local anesthesia. The length of time required for the operation will vary from patient to patient but typically takes 1-2 hours.
Depending on your specific needs, some patients may benefit from additional procedures along with their forehead lift such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or neck liposuction (neck contouring).
The benefits of having a forehead lift include:
Smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines on the brow area
Removing excess sagging skin
Raising eyebrows
What can I expect during recovery from a Forehead Lift?
Recovery from a forehead lift is generally uncomplicated. The procedure itself only takes about an hour and the patient can return home shortly thereafter. Some swelling and bruising is normal, but this often fades rapidly.
For the first few days after surgery, patients should use ice packs to minimize swelling. A bandage may be applied over the incision site to protect it from irritation or injury during this time. Patients may also have drains placed in their wounds to help control bleeding and drainage after the procedure. These drains will be removed at your follow-up visit (usually five to seven days after surgery).
If you have general anesthesia, you may experience some nausea following your procedure. If so, you will be given medications to help relieve any discomfort caused by nausea and vomiting. You should eat small meals frequently after surgery since this helps reduce nausea and promote healing of the incisions.
The most common side effects associated with forehead lift surgery are temporary numbness or weakness on one side of your face as well as mild swelling and bruising around your eyes that may persist for several months following surgery. Your surgeon will provide instructions on how best to care for yourself during recovery from your procedure.
Will I have scars from a forehead lift?
Yes, you should expect to have some scars from a forehead lift. All surgical procedures carry the risk of scarring, and a forehead lift is no exception.
When you are considering having a forehead lift, it’s important to understand that there are different types of scars that can occur with this procedure. The most common type of scarring is where the incision is hidden in the hairline or along the hairline. This type of scar will only be visible when your hair is pulled back or if you wear bangs over your forehead.
The second type of scarring occurs when the incision goes through the scalp and creates a linear scar on top of your head. This type of scar is permanent and will not fade with time. It may be possible to camouflage this type of scar with make-up or by shaving down the hair over it.
If you choose an open incision technique for your forehead lift, then you should expect to have additional scars along with those mentioned above. Open incisions are used when there is more than one area needing correction on your forehead.
How long does it take to recover from a forehead lift?
Recovery from a forehead lift is dependent on the procedure that is performed. If you only have a small amount of sagging skin, it will heal in about two weeks. If you have more than just sagging skin, then it may take longer for you to recover.
There are some things you can do to help speed up your recovery time:
Take pain medication as prescribed by your doctor, and if you have any questions about them, be sure to ask before taking them.
Keep the area clean by washing it with soap and water twice a day.
Do not pick at the stitches.
Do not use makeup on the incision area until all the stitches come out (about six weeks).
Do not exercise or lift anything heavy until after your last follow-up appointment with your surgeon (usually four weeks).
What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon about Forehead Lift?
You should ask your surgeon about the following:
The procedure.
How long will it take? How will it affect my daily life?
Will I need to stay overnight in the hospital?
What type of anesthesia will be used?
Will there be any blood loss during surgery?
What are the risks of complications, such as infection or bleeding?
Is there anything I can do before surgery to improve my chances for a good outcome?
Your medical history.
Tell your surgeon about any medications you take (including over-the-counter drugs), any allergies you have, and whether you smoke or use alcohol. Also mention any previous surgeries you’ve had and any illnesses or injuries that may affect your recovery. Your doctor needs this information so that he or she can plan the best treatment for you.
What should I expect during a consultation for Forehead Lift ?
A consultation for a forehead lift is a chance for you to meet with the doctor and discuss your options. During the consultation, you can ask any questions you have about the procedure and get answers from the doctor. It’s also a good idea to bring any photos of yourself that show how you would like your forehead to look.
Here are some topics that may come up during your consultation:
Your goals for the surgery. You’ll want to be as specific as possible when discussing what you hope to achieve with this procedure. For example, do you want to remove wrinkles between your eyebrows or just relax the muscles in that area? Do you want an overall improvement in appearance or do you have specific concerns about one area in particular? Is there another surgery that might accomplish these goals better? If so, which one?
The risks and benefits associated with each option for treating your condition. Your doctor will go over all of the relevant information about what each option involves and what results are likely to occur from each treatment option. You’ll need this information so that you can make an informed decision about which treatment is right for you.
The potential complications associated with each option for treating your condition. It’s important that doctors give patients honest assessments of both good outcomes.
Who needs to do Forehead Lift?
The forehead lift is a surgical procedure that lifts the skin and underlying tissue of the forehead and brow. The procedure is done to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, cheekbone area, and forehead.
People who have deep wrinkles around the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, and loose or sagging skin on their foreheads may benefit from a forehead lift. People who have had significant weight loss may also benefit from this procedure because it can restore the shape of their faces. The procedure is often done as part of other facial procedures such as facelifts and neck lifts.
How to prepare for Forehead Lift surgery?
Preparation for Forehead Lift surgery involves:
Discussing the risks, benefits and alternatives with your surgeon.
Discussing your expectations of the results.
Avoiding aspirin, NSAIDs and vitamin E for a week before your surgery.
Wearing compression stockings for three weeks after your surgery.
Eating a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean meats; drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration; limiting salt intake; exercising regularly; quitting smoking if you smoke; managing stress effectively through relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga; avoiding alcohol consumption during the healing process (at least six weeks).
If you are not able to stop smoking completely, it is important to discuss this with your plastic surgeon prior to undergoing cosmetic surgery because nicotine impairs wound healing.
