With forehead lift (brow lift) surgery, it is possible to give a more youthful appearance to the upper part of your face above your eyes. Sagging eyebrows are corrected, and the lines and deeper grooves that cause the patient to look more angry, sad, and older are reduced.
During this surgery, the tissues causing grooves in the forehead and droopy eyebrows are improved in such a way as to make the forehead smoother, lift the eyebrows up to the appropriate height, and eliminate the scowling appearance. In addition, fine lines called crow’s feet that form around the outer corners of the eyes are smoothed. Because the incision is made in the scalp just behind the hairline, this surgical procedure is not likely to leave a noticeable scar. This surgery can also be done through endoscopy.

Who are Suitable for Forehead Lift?
This surgery is mostly performed in people between the ages of 35 and 65, with intent to reduce the noticeable effects of aging that may appear on the face. It can be applied to patients in all age-groups, who have annoying line formations in their foreheads due to stress or inappropriate muscle activity. People who have droopy eyebrows or lines in their foreheads due to hereditary causes get good results from this surgery, as well.
If a youthful overall facial appearance is desired to be achieved, forehead-lift and face-lift surgeries must be done in combination with each other. Eyelid plastic surgery called blepharoplasty can be added to these operations, as well.
This surgery will be useful in terms of both the improvement of your external appearance and self-confidence.
To see approximately how a result you will get from the surgery, you can stand in front of a mirror, place the palms of your hands in the area between the outer edges of your eyes and the sides of your eyebrows, and then gently pull the skin upwards.
During the first consultation, your face, skin and bone structure will be examined. Your expectations from the surgery, certain medical conditions specific to you, the drugs that you use etc. will be questioned.
Before the surgery, be sure to discuss with your doctor everything about your expectations and concerns regarding the surgery.
The surgery can be done under local or general anesthesia.
The surgery can be done as a classic open surgery and an endoscopic surgery. You can determine the procedure to be carried out, in consultation with your doctor. The wrinkles in the forehead are eliminated, the eyebrows are lifted up to the desired level, and the wrinkles around the eyes can be reduced with interventions in the muscles and skin in the forehead area during the surgery.
You may feel a temporary postoperative numbness in the forehead area, as well as tingle that may last for a period up to four weeks. Your bandages are removed a day or two after surgery, and then you are allowed to take a shower. The sutures are removed within one to two weeks.
Returning to your job or daily activities may take up to 5-10 days. This is not due to limitations in your physical activity but the temporary swelling and bruising.
It should be noted that the result achieved as a result of forehead lift is not life lasting, and that the aging in the forehead will follow the aging in other parts of the body, even if a little behind.
