Forehead Lift

Forehead lift is performed in two ways: surgical and non-surgical. In the surgical method, by making small incisions along the hairline, the skin and muscles of the forehead will be tightened, and deep lines will be eliminated. However, in non-surgical methods such as thread lift, Botox injection, or HIFU therapy, the forehead becomes smoother and firmer without the need for incisions or stitches. The surgical method has high durability, but non-surgical methods require retreatment. The choice of the appropriate method depends on the individual’s age, skin condition, and expectations.

Forehead lift surgery is usually performed under general or local anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. The steps of this surgery are as follows:

Those looking to eliminate forehead lines and rejuvenate their face may be a good option for a surgical facelift. This surgery is for people who have drooping eyebrows and deep forehead wrinkles and who have not been able to respond to non-surgical methods such as Botox or hypnotherapy. Good candidates for a forehead lift include

• People with deep wrinkles on their forehead.
• Those whose drooping eyebrows have made their face look tired or frowny.
• Those who are looking for a surgical facelift with lasting results.
• Those whose skin has good elasticity and are in good physical condition for surgery.
• Those who have realistic expectations of the results of surgery.

A forehead lift raises the eyebrows, reduces frown lines, and creates a more youthful appearance. If you have these symptoms and are looking to eliminate forehead lines, a forehead lift is the right choice for you.

Forehead lift surgery and Botox injections are both methods for eliminating forehead wrinkles and raising eyebrows, but they have important differences. Botox is a non-surgical and temporary method that reduces lines and wrinkles by relaxing the forehead muscles. This method requires renewal and usually needs re-injection every 3 to 6 months. Botox is a suitable option for individuals with mild to moderate wrinkles.

In contrast, a brow lift and forehead lift is a more permanent procedure that lifts the skin and muscles of the forehead, eliminating drooping brows and deep wrinkles. Unlike Botox, the results of a forehead lift are more natural and long-lasting. If you are looking for a long-term solution to rejuvenate your face and eliminate drooping brows, a brow lift is a better choice.

After a forehead lift surgery, adhering to post-operative care is extremely important for a faster recovery process and satisfactory final results. In the first few days, you might experience some swelling, bruising, and numbness in the forehead and around the eyes, which can be reduced by following the tips below:

• Sufficient rest and sleeping with your head elevated to reduce swelling
• Avoiding bending down and strenuous activities in the first few weeks
• Using cold compresses in the first 48 hours to reduce bruising
• Avoiding touching the surgical site and massaging the forehead

If you have had blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) at the same time as your forehead lift, you should take extra care of the area around your eyes to prevent irritation of the sensitive skin in this area. The surgical stitches are usually removed within 7 to 10 days, and the final results will be visible after a few months. Following your doctor’s recommendations will help you recover faster and your surgical results will last longer.

Forehead lift surgery is a safe procedure, but like any surgical operation, it may be accompanied by complications. Common complications include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness of the forehead, and itching at the stitch sites, which usually resolve within a few weeks. In some rare cases, the individual may experience eyebrow asymmetry, infection, or bleeding, which can be reduced with proper care and choosing a skilled physician. Some individuals should not undergo a forehead lift, including:

• Individuals with blood clotting problems who easily bleed or bruise.
• Those with uncontrolled chronic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
• Individuals whose skin has very little elasticity and for whom there is a possibility of unfavorable results.
• Individuals who have unrealistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.

Before undergoing a forehead lift, it is essential to consult with a cosmetic doctor to ensure that you are a good candidate for this procedure.

The cost of forehead lift surgery depends on various factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the type of technique used, the clinic or hospital where the surgery is performed, and ancillary costs such as anesthesia and post-operative medications. In general, surgical methods usually cost more than non-surgical methods, but their results are also more natural and long-lasting. Some people, after a forehead lift, for volumizing and improving facial symmetry, use methods such as facial fat injection.

This procedure will help to increase the vitality of the skin and prevent the atrophy of facial tissues. In addition to the cost of a forehead lift, the price of facial fat injection also depends on the amount of fat required and the skill of the doctor. To get a more accurate price, it is necessary to consult a doctor and examine the condition of the skin.
