This procedure is the most common among individuals between the ages of forty and sixty to reduce the impact of aging. This lift can also performed at the same time as an eyelid lift or another procedure.
Women and men who are considered good candidates for this surgery are left with a more energetic and youthful appearance when all is said and done. This may be accomplished through the following methods:
- Smoothing out forehead wrinkles
- Decreasing the appearance of upper eyelid sagging
- Smoothing the look of a furrowed brow
- A reposition and elevation of the brow line using the natural ridge
- Improving the look of wrinkles or crow’s feet located at the corner of the eyes
- The removal of excess skin
- Providing the eyebrows with a youthful arch
Surgical Techniques for a Forehead Lift
There are two surgical techniques used for a forehead lift. These are the endoscopic lift and the classic lift. The main difference between the endoscopic and classic lift is the incision size. During the endoscopic lift, an endoscope is inserted through the incision to enable the surgeon to view the tissues and muscles underneath. A different instrument can be inserted through another incision to raise the skin of the forehead. The excess fat and tissue are then removed and the muscles realigned. Eyebrow repositioning is also possible during an endoscopic lift.
