Forehead Lift FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
A forehead lift is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of the forehead area by minimizing wrinkles, furrows, and drooping eyebrows.
How does it work? By removing excess tissue, altering muscles, and tightening the skin, your plastic surgeon will help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance, with a smoother forehead and elevated eyebrows.
To help you decide whether or not a forehead lift is right for you, here are some of the most frequently asked questions about this procedure:
Am I a good candidate for a forehead lift? Although most forehead lift patients are between the ages of 40-60, this cosmetic procedure can be successfully performed at other ages provided you’re physically healthy, realistic in your expectations, and do not smoke.
What type of anesthesia will I receive for the forehead lift? This procedure is most often performed with a combination of local anesthesia and sedation, or general anesthesia. Because all cases are unique, your plastic surgeon will help determine which option is right for you.
How long is the surgery? A forehead lift typically takes between 1-2 hours and is often done on an outpatient basis.
Will I have any scars from the surgery? When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, the results from the forehead lift are excellent and while it does result in scars, these tend to be well-concealed at or behind the hairline.
How much time do I need to plan for recovery? Typically patients can resume their normal activities and jobs within 2 weeks of their procedure. However, strenuous exercise must be postponed for at least 6 weeks and sun exposure should be limited for a few months.
What can I expect from the recovery? Patients undergoing a forehead lift may experience discomfort, slight pain, and even some headaches, itching, and hair loss at the incision. Your stitches will be removed within 1-2 weeks.
What are the risks associated with a forehead lift? As with all cosmetic surgeries, there are some risks that are associated with a forehead lift including excessive or broad scarring, nerve injury, asymmetry, and bleeding.
