Information, Before and After Photos, Surgery

Are you considering a forehead lift in New York City? Forehead lifts are used when there is a sagging brow or deep furrows between the eyes. A forehead or brow lift tightens loose skin and in some cases, removes the excess, and forehead wrinkling and drooping brows can be modified. When necessary, part of the muscle that causes vertical frown lines between the brows is also removed. There are two basic techniques that we use in browlifting; the more traditional coronal brow lift and the endoscopic forehead lift.

For a coronal brow lift, we make an incision slightly behind the natural hairline, running from ear to ear across the top of the head. We usually make this incision well behind the hairline so that the scar is not visible. If your hairline is high or receding, the incision may be placed just at the hairline, so as not to move the forehead back. In patients who are losing hair, a mid-scalp incision may be preferred. For a browlift in New York City contact a board certified plastic surgeon.

The endoscopic forehead lift offers the advantages of minimal incisions within the scalp, and a potentially shorter recovery period. Rather than making one long incision, we can use three to five scalp incisions of approximately one inch in length. An endoscope, a small wand with a camera on the end connected to a monitor, is inserted to allow the surgeon to have a clear view of the muscles and tissues beneath the skin. Another instrument is then inserted through a different incision, the forehead skin is lifted and the muscles and underlying tissues are removed or released. The eyebrows may also be lifted and secured into their higher position by sutures beneath the surface of the skin or by temporary fixation screws and other methods placed behind the hairline. Finally, the incisions are closed with stitches or staples.

A brow lift is often performed with eyelid surgery and facial rejuvenation for the best results.
