Forehead lift

Information about forehead lift

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty, Eylid Tuck) and a forehead lift are some of the most common aesthetic procedures to create a younger, happier, and more alert appearance around the eyes, for both men and women.

Later in life, you may notice that your skin is beginning to lose its elasticity, with gradual lowering of eyebrows and horizontal folds on your forehead and vertical ones between the eyebrows appearing. The consequence is on one hand esthetically distracting with a more grim and tired look but also functionally, as you continuously fold your forehead to lift your eyelids. This can in turn result in tension headaches.

Forehead lifts are often performed with keyhole surgery (endoscopic surgery) which generates very short and close to non visible scars on the scalp. During the procedure we correct the exhausted muscles, the position of the eyebrows and the skin and the folds on the forehead. If there is a lot excess skin on the forehead, it will require an open surgical technique with a longitudinal incision within the area with hair high up on the forehead. The incision is of a zigzag shape and the scars are very difficult to notice.

The operation is carried out under general anesthesia, you will be able to go home the same day, or the day after.

After the operation you can expect your eyes to be swollen and bruised. This will be worst from the second to third day and will then gradually disappear. The sutures will generally be removed after around 1-2 weeks, and you will already see a significant improvement.
