Ways to Perform Forehead Lift
A forehead lift is a rejuvenating cosmetic procedure that makes
you look more youthful by tightening the loose skin and reducing wrinkles and
fine lines from the forehead and between the brows.
It is natural to experience the signs of aging with time. That
said, the earliest signs appear on the forehead and around the eyes as your
skin loses its elasticity, creases appear, and brows droop. The good news is
that forehead lift can permanently tone the forehead skin and gives you smooth
and lifted brows without any furrows.
This blog discusses different ways to perform forehead lift in Dubai
to give you the desired results based on your unique condition.
Ways to Perform Forehead Lift
A forehead lift can be done in various ways depending
on one’s needs. The difference lies with the incision your Plastic Surgeon
makes. Let’s look at these ways to perform forehead lift.
·
Coronal forehead lift
The classical forehead lift, also called an open brow lift or
coronal lift, is a cosmetic procedure that gives patients a refreshed
appearance by rejuvenating the forehead, brows, and eyes. It makes a continuous
incision from ear to ear on your upper head or at the hairline and removes
excess skin and realigns the muscles on your forehead.
The procedure brings immediately noticeable results in terms of
refreshing, toning, and restoring the facial aesthetics. It corrects the
sagging brows and gives an alert and youthful look. A coronal incision leads to
scarring but it is covered well within the hairline.
·
Endoscopic forehead lift
An endoscopic forehead lift is a minimally
invasive procedure that helps patients achieve firm and uplifted foreheads and
eyebrows with minimal scarring and tissue disruption. During this procedure, the
Plastic Surgeon makes a few small incisions just behind the anterior hairline
and inserts a scope carrying a camera into the incision. They can then monitor
the operation on the screen, adjust the tissues, smooth the loose skin and
wrinkles of the forehead, and elevate the eyebrows.
·
Temporal forehead lift
A temporal forehead lift is less invasive than a typical brow
lift and is performed to rejuvenate the lateral upper part of the face with
minimal downtime. The procedure requires an incision on the temples to uplift
the lateral part of the eyebrows and reduce wrinkles and folds in the outer
third of the forehead.
The incision is well-hidden within the hairline, so there is no
visible scarring. As the procedure concerns the lateral aspect of the face, it
is perfect for patients who want less drastic results from the treatment.

What Does Recovery Looks Like?
A forehead lift is an outpatient procedure, and you can leave
for home on the same day. The recovery following the surgery depends on the
type of incision your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon gave you. The stitches
may dissolve or need to be removed manually in a week or two.
You may experience slight redness, discomfort, and swelling like
any surgery. It can be relieved with pain medications and applying cold packs. Moreover,
you should keep your head elevated while lying to help with swelling.
Remember to change your dressing as per the doctor’s advice. You
can return to your work life within 10-14 days. Avoid lifting heavy weights and
strenuous exercise for a month.
