What Is a Forehead Lift?

Like many other parts of the face, the forehead muscles and brows may experience droopiness. This can result in a constant “tired” or “frowning” look. In more severe cases, the upper eyelids might also be affected, exaggerating the unwanted facial features.

A forehead lift is a surgical procedure that corrects various cosmetic issues in the upper face. It involves elevating the brows and is commonly combined with upper eyelid rejuvenation, which removes extra skin from the eyelids. A forehead lift is also called a brow lift or browplasty.

How Is Forehead Lift Surgery Performed?

Preparation

As with any surgery, Dr. Askari conducts a thorough medical evaluation and health history review. Once the patient has been cleared, we provide instructions on how to prepare for a forehead lift. Dr. Askari explains what medications must be avoided and what recovery items should be purchased.
The procedure starts by injecting local anesthesia, allowing the patient to be awake but not feel any pain. We may also opt for general anesthesia to keep the individual fully sedated during the whole operation.

Dr. Askari can perform the forehead lift using different techniques depending on the desired results. He offers the following options:

Endoscopic Brow Lift 

An endoscopic brow lift is a minimally invasive technique that involves several small incisions hidden behind the hairline. Dr. Askari uses a thin tube with a light and camera at the end to examine the tissues and muscles underneath the forehead skin. He also inserts fiber optic surgical instruments to repair tissues and lift the area. Dr. Askari may address these various cosmetic concerns using sutures, small screws, and other aids. Many patients prefer endoscopic brow lifts because they result in minimal scarring and faster recovery.

Coronal (Traditional) Brow Lift

A classic incision involves cutting within the hair-bearing skin. It goes across the top of the head from one ear to another. The forehead skin is then lifted to make the proper adjustments, such as correcting muscle alignment, removing excess tissue, or raising the brows. After that, the skin is sutured back. This hairline brow lift requires a longer recovery than an endoscopic procedure. However, the resulting scar will still be well-concealed within the hair.

Direct Brow Lift

A direct brow lift involves making incisions just above the eyebrows to correct their appearance and reduce wrinkling. This procedure is more straightforward and shorter than others. However, it can only be performed on patients with bushy brows.

Temporal Brow Lift

A temporal brow lift (also called a lateral brow lift) is similar to the endoscopic technique, except that it makes tiny incisions near the temples, directly behind the hairline. It is less invasive and provides minor corrections.

Browpexy

This technique primarily enhances the appearance of the outer portion of the eyebrows. It creates tiny incisions near the eyelid to open the eyes and give them a youthful look. Browpexy provides subtle corrections and is only used for patients with minimal brow issues.

After surgery, Dr. Askari closes the incisions using sutures and covers them with bandages. The patient is then monitored briefly and allowed to return home to recover comfortably.

Add-On Procedures

Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the eyes by addressing excess skin, puffiness, or fat around the upper or lower eyelids. This operation can create a more youthful and rested look, enhance facial harmony, and improve vision in cases where droopy eyelids obstruct sight.
A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin and underlying tissues in the midface, jawline, and neck. It provides long-lasting rejuvenation by smoothing deep wrinkles and restoring a more defined facial contour.
Laser skin resurfacing is a noninvasive treatment that uses focused light energy to remove damaged outer skin layers. This stimulates collagen production and reveals smoother, more radiant skin. Laser resurfacing addresses fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven tone, enhancing overall skin texture and appearance.

What to Expect After the Surgery?

The forehead lift procedure usually takes less than two hours, so patients do not have to stay overnight at our facility. After the surgery, they are transferred to a recovery room, where Dr. Askari monitors their condition while they wait for the anesthesia to wear off.
Feeling mild pain and seeing swelling and bruising on the incision sites is normal after the brow lift procedure. Dr. Askari prescribes medications to ease discomfort. He also gives patients post-operative instructions to help improve and quicken their recovery. This includes:

Keeping the head elevated and using cold compresses to reduce inflammation

Refraining from doing vigorous and strenuous activities for the first few days

Following our aftercare instructions to prevent the surgical site from getting infected

Attending regular check-ups with Dr. Askari

Taking a bath or washing hair only after clearance from our surgeon

How Long Does It Take to Recover From a Forehead Lift?

Recovery from a forehead lift varies depending on the individual and the specific technique used. Generally, most patients can resume normal daily activities within 10 to 14 days, although some minor swelling and bruising may still be visible. More strenuous movements, such as heavy lifting or intense exercise, are typically discouraged for at least four weeks.

Complete healing of the surgical site can take several months. Incision scars usually become less noticeable over time, often blending seamlessly with the natural skin tone. Patients are advised to follow post-operative care instructions, such as using cold compresses, keeping the head elevated, and avoiding sun exposure to reduce swelling and protect the skin. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Askari help ensure optimal recovery and address concerns during the healing process.

Alternative Procedure: Non- Surgical Brow Lift

Botox injections may be just the solution you need if you prefer a non-surgical way to enhance your appearance. Dr. Askari will strategically inject Botox and/or dermal fillers into the forehead to lift the eyebrows and minimize wrinkles. While this procedure may not produce results as significant as surgery, it might be an excellent alternative. Those seeking to combat hollow temples and achieve a youthful appearance can opt for Botox brow lifts with dermal fillers for impressive results.

When Should You Consider a Forehead Lift?

A forehead lift helps reduce the visible signs of aging on the face. It can benefit many individuals who want to address their cosmetic concerns and rejuvenate their appearance. Here are the main characteristics of people who qualify for this treatment:

Candidates for a forehead lift are typically between 40 and 60, though individuals outside this age range may also benefit from the procedure. Skin elasticity plays a significant role in determining suitability, as younger individuals with good skin tone can experience longer-lasting results. Older candidates may also be eligible, but their skin might require more extensive lifting to achieve the desired outcomes.
A forehead lift is often recommended for those experiencing noticeable wrinkles, deep furrows, or sagging brows. These issues generally become more pronounced with age, though they can also occur due to genetics or excessive sun exposure. Candidates often seek surgical procedures to improve the appearance of these signs of aging.
Ideal candidates for a forehead lift are in good overall health and have no significant medical conditions that could interfere with surgery or healing. Uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or recent facial injuries may increase the risks associated with the procedure. A thorough consultation with Dr. Askari helps ensure that individuals are healthy enough for a successful outcome.
Candidates for a forehead lift should have realistic expectations about the results. Although the procedure cannot stop aging, it enhances facial appearance by lifting and tightening the forehead area. Candidates should understand the limitations and be prepared for recovery, knowing that results improve with time.
Smoking can significantly affect healing by reducing blood flow to various tissues. Therefore, non-smokers or those willing to quit tobacco products for a period before and after the surgery are ideal candidates for a forehead lift. Smoking may lead to complications, such as poor wound healing, which might negatively impact the results.

Benefits of Brow Lift Surgery

Forehead lift provides many cosmetic improvements, making patients more confident and satisfied with their appearance. Here are the main benefits of this procedure:

Raises the tissues and tightens the muscles to remove unwanted wrinkles

Eliminates excess fat and skin on the upper eyelids

Corrects inherited eyebrow conditions, such as sagging and uneven brows

Eliminates furrowed lines above the nose (they often make patients look tired, sad, or “too serious”)

Almost anyone can undergo such a procedure. But ideally, a good candidate for a forehead lift is a healthy, non-smoking individual with no underlying medical conditions.
