Forehead Lift

Forehead lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing forehead wrinkles and lines around the eyebrows. This surgery results in a smoother forehead, elevated eyebrows, and a generally more youthful facial appearance. It is typically suitable for individuals experiencing drooping eyebrows and forehead wrinkles who wish to achieve a noticeable improvement in their appearance.

The steps of a forehead lift surgery include:

1. Consultation and Planning
   The surgeon examines the forehead, eyebrows, and surrounding skin to determine the most suitable lifting technique.

2. Anesthesia
   The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia.

3. Surgical Incisions
   Incisions are made in discreet areas, such as along the hairline or at the top of the forehead, to minimize visible scarring.

4. Lifting the Skin and Tissues
   After the incisions, facial tissues are lifted and excess skin is removed. This elevates the eyebrows and smoothens the forehead.

5. Dressing and Initial Care
   The face is bandaged, and the patient receives post-operative care instructions.

The duration of a forehead lift surgery is usually between 1 to 2 hours.

The results of a forehead lift surgery usually last between 7 to 10 years, depending on various factors such as lifestyle, post-surgery care, and genetic characteristics.

Forehead lift surgery is suitable for individuals who:

• Have significant forehead wrinkles and lines

• Have sagging or drooping eyebrows

• Long Recovery Period: The healing process may take between 2 to 4 weeks.

• High Cost: Forehead lift surgery is more expensive compared to non-invasive methods.

• Requires High Expertise: This procedure demands significant skill and experience from the surgeon.

The cost of forehead lift surgery depends on several factors:

Why Is Forehead Lift Surgery Better Than Home Remedies?

Home remedies, such as using creams or natural masks, generally offer only temporary effects and are not suitable for individuals with deep wrinkles. In contrast, forehead lift surgery delivers long-lasting, more profound results and significantly improves facial appearance.

Is forehead lift surgery painful?
No, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is usually manageable with pain relievers prescribed by your doctor.

How long do the results of a forehead lift last?
The results typically last between 7 to 10 years. However, this duration can vary depending on individual factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and post-operative care.

Will there be scarring after forehead lift surgery?
Incisions are usually made along the hairline or in natural forehead creases, so scars tend to fade over time and are often barely noticeable.

When can I resume daily activities?
Light activities can usually be resumed after 7 to 10 days, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks.

Is forehead lift surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified surgeon under proper medical conditions, forehead lift surgery is generally safe and carries minimal risk.

Can forehead lift surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes, it can be combined with other treatments such as Botox, filler injections, or a neck lift to achieve more comprehensive and enhanced results.
