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 to Expect?

Patients can expect multiple cosmetic benefits from a forehead lift.

  • Young and rejuvenated look
  • Reduced wrinkles and fine lines from the forehead
  • Elevated eyebrows
  • Tightened skin of the upper face
  • Reduced furrows in between the brows
  • Reduced tired and angry looks by giving you an alert and fresh appearance

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.
