    Forehead Lift Surgery

    Is forehead lift surgery right for you? Through the years, our skin starts to lose its elasticity. This leads to frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increased heaviness of the eyebrows and upper eyelids. To correct this, some people have opted for forehead lift surgery.

    In a forehead lift, the surgeon tightens the loose skin on the forehead and removes the excess. This can give you a smoother brow and a more youthful expression.

    The surgeon makes an incision slightly behind the natural hairline, running from ear to ear across the top of the head.

    In endoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes a series of small incisions just behind the hairline and using an endoscope, removes the muscles that are causing frown lines. The eyebrows are then lifted to reduce the sagging of the skin at the eyelid level.
