Benefits of a Forehead Lift

Forehead lift

A forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance your forehead and lift your brows for a younger and rejuvenated look. Two common techniques are used to achieve this. The classic lift uses a single long incision across the forehead at the top of the hairline. Then, the underlying tissue is worked on to achieve the desired look. However, an endoscopic lift uses three to five smaller incisions that are made at the hairline and across the forehead. Let’s explore the benefits of a forehead lift so you can decide if it’s right for you.

Removes and Reduces Excess Skin

Our skin slowly begins to sag as we age. This could be due to natural collagen and muscle loss or sun damage. A forehead lift can remove the sagging skin by tightening the forehead and brow. This will leave a smoother and more youthful appearance. It will also help to remove wrinkles and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Reduces Upper Eyelid Sagging

Our eyelids are made of skin like the rest of our faces. This means your eyelids will begin to sag and droop over time. This makes your eyes look tired, dull, older, or even sad. Thankfully, a brow lift can help stretch the loose skin and restore your upper eyelids.

Improve Eyebrow Arch

Eyebrows are supposed to be sharp and pronounce the beauty of your eyes. However, eyebrows are attached to the skin, and that skin can droop over time. A forehead lift will stretch the skin and tighten it. This will lead to a more pronounced eyebrow arch that will appear youthful and sharp.

Long-Lasting Results

In the world of cosmetics, not all treatments are long-lasting. Thankfully, forehead lifts are a minimally invasive surgical procedure that provides almost permanent results. Forehead lifts can last 10 to 12 years. However, they can last far longer with proper skincare.

Facial Plastic Surgery Questions

Dr. Mao will listen to your concerns, examine your facial anatomy, and discuss surgical and non-surgical options suited to your goals. You will leave with a clear understanding of what to expect.
Facial plastic surgery focuses on procedures of the face, head, and neck — both cosmetic procedures like facelift and rhinoplasty and reconstructive treatments for functional concerns.
Recovery varies by procedure and by patient. Some non-surgical treatments involve little or no downtime. After surgery, the time needed to return to work or routine activities may range from several days to several weeks, while swelling, incision healing, and final results can continue to improve for weeks or months. During your consultation, Dr. Mao will explain the expected recovery timeline, activity restrictions, and follow-up care for the procedure being considered.
Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and have specific concerns they would like addressed. A consultation is the best way to find out.
