If You're Considering a Forehead Lift...
While no one is immune to the effects of aging, a forehead lift, also known
as a brow lift, can minimize some of the most visible signs: drooping eyebrows,
"hooding" over the eyes, forehead furrows and frown lines that come with age.
In a forehead lift, the muscles and skin that cause the problems are removed
or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the upper eyelids and minimize frown
lines. The result can be a more alert, more animated, more youthful appearance.
Recent advances in plastic surgery have made the forehead lift a relatively
simple procedure with results that last from five to 10 years or longer. It
can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures, such as facelift,
neck lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
After Your Surgery
A forehead lift is possible in men, but may require special planning to hide
the scars. This involves an individual discussion between the physician and
the patient. You may experience some numbness and temporary discomfort around
the incision, which can be controlled with medication prescribed by your surgeon.
If you have a tendency toward headaches, your doctor may prescribe an additional,
longer-acting local anesthetic during surgery as a preventive measure.
Your surgeon should describe the procedure in detail, explaining its risks and
limitations and making sure you understand the scarring that will result. He
or she should also explain the anesthesia to be used, the type of facility where
the surgery will be performed, and the costs involved. Don't hesitate to ask
your doctor any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations
and concerns about the results.
