Patient Examples

 
Forehead Lift

Drooping of the lateral eyebrows which accentuates eyelid heaviness and gives a tired expression may be treated with a brow or forehead lift. The vertical lines between the eyebrows which may give a concerned or even angry expression can also be treated with a forehead lift procedure. The forehead lift is done either with the assistance of an endoscope (Endoscopic Brow Lift) or with an incision which extends from ear to ear that is placed behind or at the hairline (Open Brow lift). Endoscopic forehead lifts allow for smaller, limited incisions, but are less effective in reducing horizontal forehead wrinkles that open brow lift procedures. Upper eyelid surgery is frequently done in conjunction with forehead lifts.
