Forehead/Brow Lift
These terms are used synonymously as they both accomplish
the same change. Sometimes as a hereditary occurrence
and sometimes due to the aging process, the brows will
drop and start to produce a sad, "puppy dog"
look due to the sagging eyebrows. The other changes
that occur in the forehead are the appearance of deep
frown lines between the eyebrows as well as the prominent
horizontal lines in the upper forehead

About the Procedure The above changes can produce an
unattractive, aging appearance that is easily corrected
by performing a forehead lift. Originally performed
through long incisions within the scalp from ear to
ear or at the frontal hairline, we now routinely perform
the forehead lift endoscopically through four very small
(3/4") incisions placed within the hairline without
having to cut or shave the hair. An endoscope, a tube
with a light at one end and a camera at the other, is
used to perform the procedure very non-invasively with
excellent results that help reposition the brows at
a higher more normal position as well as softening the
lines on the forehead.
The endoscopic forehead lift is performed
under twilight anesthesia and compared to the older
"open" forehead lift, the healing time is
much shorter with the person looking presentable in
5 to 7 days with much less swelling, bruising and discomfort.
A forehead lift will usually make
the eyes look brighter, bigger and gives the person
a happier and fresher look.
