Forehead Lift for Women

Deep lines, a furrowed forehead, and sagging eyebrows can make you look very old, tired and unhappy. A forehead lift removes excess skin and tightens the muscles of the brow allowing your skin to lie flat and smooth above your eyes and up to your hair line. A forehead or brow lift can remove imbedded lines and furrows enhancing your overall facial expression, enlivening your appearance, giving you a younger more vibrant look.

For patients who receive endoscopic surgery, recovery is reduced by a few days. Bruising will subside after 2 to 3 weeks. Some patients are comfortable returning to regular social activities after 2 weeks. Incisions are usually made behind the hairline to reduce visible scarring. Strenuous activities that raise blood pressure should be avoided for 2 to 3 months. It is very important to avoid direct sun exposure for many months after surgery and to use sunscreen at all times.
