As with all elective surgery, good
health and realistic expectations are prerequisites.
When Dr. Smith tightens loose skin and removes the
excess, forehead wrinkling and drooping brows are modified.
The procedure is called a forehead lift or brow lift.
If necessary, Dr. Smith removes part of the muscle
that causes vertical frown lines between the brows.
The result can be a smoother brow and a more youthful
expression. To see what a forehead lift can do for
your face, put your hands above your brows and outside
the edges of your eyes and gently raise the skin upward.
Forehead lifts are an option if you have a sagging
brow or deep furrows between the eyes. This procedure
is usually done between age 40 and 65, although it
may be necessary at an earlier age.
Incisions can be placed at the hairline, behind the hairline or, in some
cases, above the brow or in the mid forehead. Endoscopic techniques allow
the procedure to be performed in a manner that minimizes incisions and
reduces visibility of scars. Dr. Smith will help you select the best
technique suited to your particular situation.
