Forehead Lift
Who is a Candidate for Forehead lift? It is quite common to experience a drooping of the forehead as we age, this can lead to a heavy appearance of the eyebrows and an overall angry or tired appearance.
Planned Results: A rejuvenation of the forehead, softening of forehead wrinkles, repositioning of the eyebrows.
Description of the Procedure: Forehead lift can be done either through an incision within your hair (coronal incision, open forehead lift), along your hairline (hairline open forehead lift), through a deep wrinkle in your forehead, by excising tissue above your eyebrows, through an upper lid blepharoplasty incision (endotine trans lid lift) or through three small incisions in your hair (endoscopic forehead lift). The most appropriate incision to help you achieve your goals will be discussed at your consultation.
Regardless of the incision, forehead lift is completed under general anesthetic as a day surgery. You are required to have an adult drive you home and spend the night with you. Private nursing care can be arranged through U Cosmetic if necessary.
Recuperation and Healing: You can expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort. You will be sent home with prescription medications to keep you comfortable, You may apply ice to decrease the swelling in the first 24 hours and you should keep your head elevated to help with swelling. You are encouraged to return to your usual daily activities as soon as possible, but avoid increasing your blood pressure for 48 hours. Prolonged bedrest and inactivity can lead to complications.
Options and Considerations: Forehead lift can be combined with other procedures such as: blepharoplasty, face lift, and neck lift. Forehead lift will not improve the texture or blotchiness of your complexion or improve sun damaged skin. Photorejuvenation, Pixel laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels and BotoxÒ may enhance the surgical outcome. Sun protection and a home skin routine is extremely important in enhancing the results, a skin care routine will be customized for you and products recommended. All potential complications will be discussed with you at your consultation.
Notes: Sun damage and age will continue to impact your appearance following surgery. Forehead lift does not stop the aging process. You may require revision surgery in the future.
