FOREHEAD LIFT

A forehead lift is often performed to treat conditions associated with aging. It may be done in conjunction with other rejuvenative surgery to achieve a more harmonious facial appearance. A forehead lift is also appropriate for treatment of certain inherited traits. Younger adults who have a low brow or who already have deep frown lines due to stress or over activity of muscles may benefit from the procedure.

Am I a good candidate for a forehead lift?

Any one or combination of the following conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for a forehead lift:

- sagging or low position of the eyebrows, creating a tired or sad appearance

-deep horizontal creases across the forehead

- frown lines, or furrows, between the eyebrows and sometimes across the top of the nose

A forehead lift can improve all of these problems. It may often be performed at the same time as a facelift which removes excess skin and tightens muscles in the mid and lower face. If there is significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids, or puffy bags beneath your eyes, eyelid surgery may be recommended in addition to a forehead lift. Dr. Clavin will provide further information if you have an interest in these procedures.
