Understanding Forehead Lift Surgery

Forehead lift surgery, also known as a brow lift or endoscopic forehead lift, is an advanced cosmetic procedure designed to reduce forehead sagging and restore a more youthful appearance. This surgical technique addresses prominent forehead wrinkles, hooding of upper eyelids, and eyebrow sagging caused by aging and sun damage.

Procedure Overview

During the procedure, forehead skin and muscle are surgically repositioned and tightened to create a more refreshed look. The surgery involves carefully removing excess skin and adjusting underlying muscle structures to provide natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidates for Forehead Lift

• Patients with sagging or drooping eyebrows
• Individuals experiencing heaviness near the base of the nose
• Those with visible forehead wrinkles
• Patients with hooding of the upper eyelids

Surgical Technique

The forehead lift procedure typically involves four key steps: 1. Detailed scalp and forehead planning 2. Strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring 3. Releasing and repositioning forehead skin and muscle 4. Precise closure using absorbable sutures

Surgical Considerations

Bashioum Cosmetic Surgery Center recommends the procedure for healthy non-smokers within twenty pounds of their ideal weight. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately two to three hours.

Potential Complementary Procedures

Forehead lift can be combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques such as lower eyelid surgery, facelift, laser resurfacing, and facial liposuction to achieve comprehensive facial enhancement.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect modest eyebrow elevation to correct sagging and create a natural, refreshed appearance. While some temporary asymmetry is normal, the goal is to achieve balanced, harmonious facial rejuvenation.
