Forehead Lift Surgery

Forehead Lift Surgery

The most effective areas in facial expression are the forehead and eyebrows. Movements in these areas indicate whether people are happy, curious, suspicious, worried, angry, or sad. Although they may be as silent as other facial parts, they are the most important areas for communication. Unfortunately, as people age, deformations can occur in the forehead and eyebrow area. Due to the tightening of facial muscles and the effects of gravity, the forehead and eyebrows may sag, and the lines and wrinkles on the forehead become more pronounced. Aesthetic surgery offers a solution to these problems.

Forehead lift surgery is an operation performed to correct deformations in the forehead area. In this procedure, excess skin and fat in the forehead area are removed, and the forehead muscles and tissues are tightened. Lifting the eyebrows upward is also part of the forehead lift procedure.

Forehead lift surgery can be performed using different techniques. Endoscopic forehead lift is a minimally invasive approach that corrects sagging in the forehead using small incisions and a camera. Another method is the surgical forehead lift procedure performed with a forehead incision. In this method, the skin and tissues in the forehead area are stretched, excess skin is removed, and the incisions are then closed.

Forehead lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. During the surgery, the muscles in the forehead area are tightened and lifted upward. This reduces forehead lines and gives the forehead area a smoother appearance.

The recovery process after forehead lift surgery can vary from person to person. In the first few days after surgery, there may be swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Pain relievers and wound care are administered according to your doctor's instructions. During the recovery process, it is important to avoid certain activities and follow the recommended care guidelines. The complete healing process can range from several weeks to several months.
