A forehead lift, also known as brow lift or frontoplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the signs of aging and forehead imperfections. It helps to lift sagging eyebrows, reduce forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet, and rejuvenate the overall look of the face.
Different Surgical Techniques:
A forehead lift can be performed using various techniques, including:
- Traditional forehead lift: the most common technique, it involves making an incision in the scalp along the hairline and removing a strip of skin.
- Endoscopic forehead lift: a less invasive technique, it involves making several small incisions in the scalp and using a camera and specialized instruments to lift the eyebrows.
- Temporal forehead lift: a less common technique, it focuses on lifting the outer part of the eyebrows.
Anesthesia and Type of Procedure:
The procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes between 1 and 3 hours.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care:
The recovery period varies and requires wearing a bandage on the forehead for a few days. Bruising and swelling may occur, but they gradually disappear.

A forehead lift can achieve a natural-looking result and a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Patient satisfaction is generally high.
