Forehead lift is the name of the surgical procedure that is performed to raise and rejuvenate the eyebrows.
Brief anatomy
The skin around the brow, forehead and temple areas loses its elasticity with age. Drooping of the eyebrows, horizontal wrinkles and vertical frown lines between the eyebrows are the earliest signs of aging. These give a tired, angry, or sad expression. A forehead lift can address these problems by surgically altering the muscles and tissues that cause wrinkling in the area above the eyes.
General information on the procedure
A forehead lift is often performed to treat conditions associated with aging. It may be done in conjunction with other facial plastic surgery procedures to achieve a more harmonious appearance. A forehead lift may be performed in several ways. The main difference among various methods for forehead lifting is the place of the incisions. Principally, a conventional open approach, or an endoscopic approach can be used.
