Regarding forehead lift
A forehead lift or brow lift is an effective way to lift the eyebrows, smooth out the forehead, and restore a fresh, youthful expression. For many, aging brings deep wrinkles in the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and drooping eyelids, which can create a tired or stern impression.
We offer both surgical and non-surgical alternatives, such as non-surgical brow lift or lifting eyebrows without surgery, to suit your individual needs. We also help remove forehead wrinkles without Botox if that is what you prefer.

You will also have the opportunity to see before and after pictures and receive a detailed cost overview to help you make an informed decision.
During surgery
A forehead lift is often performed through keyhole surgery (endoscopic surgery), which results in very short and nearly invisible scars in the scalp. During the surgery, the overactive muscles, the position of the eyebrows, and the skin and folds on the forehead are corrected. In some cases, a so-called coronal incision is made, i.e., a longer incision on top of the scalp to achieve a better lift across the entire forehead when necessary. No hair is shaved off. Typically, the eyebrows are secured with temporary sutures that dissolve within three to six weeks.

Efter operationen
Follow-up appointments are scheduled one and two weeks after surgery with your plastic surgeon at the clinic. Post-surgery, scars are typically very discreet and tend to fade beautifully into small, thin white lines.
Results
The final result of a forehead lift or brow lift is typically visible within three to six months, with reduced wrinkles and a refreshed forehead. To see examples of changes, you can look at our forehead wrinkles before and after pictures.

Pannlyft – Komplettera med PRP
To maximize the results of your forehead lift, you can complement it with PRP treatment. PRP, also known as the vampire treatment, helps stimulate skin renewal and improve elasticity using your own blood.
Together with your forehead lift, these treatments provide a comprehensive solution that creates a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Complications
Impaired circulation
Diabetiker, rökare och personer med åderförkalkning har en ökad risk för sämre läkning, vilket kan leda till fula ärr som kan behöva korrigeras.
Nerve involvement.
Nerver som kontrollerar pannans muskelrörelser kan i sällsynta fall påverkas, oftast tillfälligt, med återhämtning inom tre till sex månader.
Loss of sensation
Kan uppstå längs snitten direkt efter operationen och är vanligtvis övergående, men i sällsynta fall kan det bli permanent. Vid coronart snitt kan känseln i hårbotten påverkas.
Increased scar activity
En ovanlig komplikation där ärren kan bli bredare, ofta på grund av för stor hudspänning eller nedsatt elasticitet i hårbotten.
Hair loss along scar edges.
In some patients, hair loss may occur along the edges of the scars, but the hair usually grows back within six months. PRP treatment can accelerate regrowth.

Price
We have chosen not to have a fixed price list, as each patient is unique with individual needs.

With us, in addition to the surgery cost, anesthesia, medications, follow-up visits, compression garments, and bras are included, as well as, in most cases, at least one overnight stay after the surgery.
