Forehead Lift

A forehead lift is a procedure that corrects drooping, sagging brows and smoothes forehead lines. When your brow sags, it can create dark, tired eyes and furrows on your forehead that may make you appear angry even when you are not. A forehead lift raises the brow to improve the look and feel of your eyes and erases a furrowed brow and nearby lines and wrinkles. A forehead lift may also be combined with a blepharoplasty, or eyelift, to further refresh your eye area, or with laser resurfacing to additionally diminish lines and wrinkles. 

In a forehead lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the furrowing or drooping are removed or altered to raise the eyebrows and diminish lines. The conventional surgical method places the incision just behind the hairline, where it is well hidden. It can also be performed with the use of an endoscope, a viewing instrument that allows the procedure to be performed with minimal incisions. Both techniques yield similar functional and cosmetic results. 

There are several options to raise the eyebrows and refresh the forehead: The indirect brow lift or "brow pexy," a direct brow lift, and endoscopic forehead lift using the Endotine fixation device.
