Forehead Lift
The upper portion of the face, including the forehead, eyebrows, temples, and eyelids, reveals visible signs of aging. These often manifest as:
- Deepening forehead wrinkles: Horizontal and vertical lines become more prominent over time, contributing to a tired appearance.
- Brow drooping: The loss of skin elasticity and collagen allows the forehead skin to sag downwards, potentially affecting eyebrow position.
Forehead Lift: Rejuvenation Option.
While forehead lift surgery was traditionally used to address these concerns, minimally invasive option, such as botulinum toxin applications are increasingly popular. This injectable treatment relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles, smoothing out forehead lines for a temporary period (typically 3-4 months). It is a non-surgical option with minimal downtime.
Surgical Forehead Lift
For individuals seeking more permanent correction, a surgical forehead lift may be an option. Here's an overview:
Procedure: Performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon can choose either an open or endoscopic approach. Open techniques involve incisions within the hairline, while endoscopic methods utilize smaller incisions and specialized instruments.
Benefits: Aims to smooth forehead wrinkles, elevate sagging brows, and create a more youthful appearance.
