Forehead/Brow Lift
As we age, the skin of the brow and forehead area begins to lose its elasticity, resulting in frown lines, wrinkling and heaviness in the eyebrows. In a forehead lift (or brow lift), Dr. Azizzadeh tightens loose skin and removes the excess to create a smoother brow and more youthful expression. A forehead lift will help:
How is the surgery performed?
Our office utilizes two different methods for this procedure, depending on each patient’s unique situation. In one procedure, an incision is made across the entire top of the scalp, beginning above the ears and hidden near the hairline. Dr. Azizzadeh can then modify or remove muscles that cause wrinkling, remove excess skin and lift eyebrows.
In a different procedure, small incisions are made just at the hairline through which a surgical video device (endoscope) is inserted, allowing Dr. Azizzadeh to reposition, alter or remove tissue and muscle beneath the skin via special instruments. This corrects the underlying source of visible creases and wrinkles in the forehead. Recovery time is often shorter in the endoscopic forehead lift because the incisions are smaller.
This procedure takes between one to two hours to perform and is commonly performed under IV sedation or twilight anesthesia.
What is the recovery like?
Patients typically experience swelling and bruising in the 10-day period following surgery. As the incisions heal, numbness and itching are common, but this diminishes with time. For most patients, the recovery time will not exceed two weeks, but patients may still be advised to avoid strenuous activities for longer periods.
