If you are concerned about the deep creases and furrows that have etched your forehead over time, then forehead lift surgery has probably crossed your mind. This refined procedure reduces the appearance of aging through the softening of deep wrinkles. Not only does it reduce the signs of aging, but it can also help you look and feel more confident. But how does a forehead lift create a more youthful appearance?

How Does a Forehead Lift Create a More Youthful Appearance?

This procedure and all of its techniques are designed to make you look and feel younger for many years to come. Keep reading to see how we use our procedures to give you the cosmetic look you desire.

Rejuvenating Forehead Lift Techniques

Candidates seeking brow lift surgery usually want to eliminate the deep lines that sit in the center of the forehead. There are several methods for dealing with these deep visible folds, and the results can be remarkably rejuvenating, often taking years from your appearance.

The degree and location of the wrinkles, as well as other considerations such as one’s overall skin health, will determine the kind of treatment applied. Whichever method is applied, the bottom line is that you will feel renewed and refreshed right away.

Treatment options include:

Endoscopic Lift

The endoscopic brow lift has become more popular due to its less invasive nature; it involves only a small incision compared to conventional lifts, which makes it popular not only among patients but also among surgeons. This reduces scarring and lessens the recovery time to a significant degree.

A small endoscopic camera is utilized during the operation with a small, tiny incision that gives the surgeon a clear view of the area to be treated, and this enables him or her to employ sophisticated instruments to perform the lift. This procedure generally has reduced swelling and no numbness, as compared to the coronal lifts.

Coronal Lift

The coronal brow lift is the most common type of traditional lift and has been performed for decades. This approach includes a very long incision across the forehead from one ear to the other. Through this incision, the surgeon pulls the skin taut and removes extra tissue that can reduce continued wrinkling. This type of lift will also change the location of the hairline. Many patients will have numbness from this surgery, which usually improves with time and healing.

Lateral Brow Lift

The lateral brow lift is an invaluable addition in that the early signs of aging often manifest in the outer areas of the face. This type of lift targets the outer one-third of the brows and forehead. To this end, it addresses areas that may not be as badly affected by the central wrinkles. The effects of aging appear on all sides of the forehead, making it difficult to pinpoint an exact area for treatment. For those people who do not have the space between the brows as a primary concern, a lateral lift may be ideal.

A Rejuvenating Recovery Process

Beautiful, long-lasting results to keep you looking youthful and wrinkle-free for years to come. That is what we promise with your brow lift. Take good care of your skin and body, and you will be able to extend those results even further. For those looking to rejuvenate as soon as possible, it is important to follow all of our recovery instructions.

Staying Hydrated

Hydration is a major key in your recovery. This will help in healing and also help flush out toxins that may lead to an infection. It’s best to avoid sugar-filled drinks and alcohol while recovering, for it may delay your recovery process.

While you’ll be feeling and looking well within weeks, it may take up to six months for the complete effects of the brow lift to appear. Fairly long, you might think, but you must remember that the results tend to be long-lasting.

Resting for Your Youth

Healing occurs from the inside out. Even when the skin looks healed to the exterior, deeper tissues can still be healing. Avoid aggressive touching, rubbing, or placing pressure on the treated area so that your results can be as great as possible.
