Forehead Lift
As our age progresses, facial skin loosens causing wrinkles, drooping brows, creases, and lines that are pretty visible to all. Due to this factor, we tend to appear angry, sad, old or tired. Apart from ageing, exposure to sun, weight fluctuations, and hereditary also further aggravate the problem. If this problem disturbs you indefinitely, you can relax as forehead lift is here to stay!
A forehead lift is a surgical procedure that treats conditions pertaining to ageing. Mostly done in conjunction with rejuvenative surgery, forehead lift can surgically alter the muscles and tissues that cause wrinkling and limping of the forehead area. This treatment is also apt for a patient who suffers from certain inherited traits. Besides, younger adults too with deep frown lines (resulting from stress or over activity of muscles) or low brows can also benefit enormously from this procedure.
Who is the ideal candidate for a forehead lift?
You can be the perfect candidate for a forehead lift if you have:
- Sagging or drooping eyebrows that make you appear tired, sad or ill
- Deep and thick creases formed all across the forehead
- Furrows, fines lines seen between the eyebrows and occasionally on top of the nose
In case, you are nodding your head for any of the above mentioned conditions, then you can be considered as an appropriate candidate for the treatment. With a forehead lift, you can easily get rid of these problems. If performed along with a facelift procedure, the excess skin on your face can be eliminated and the muscles in the mid and lower face can get tightened.
To let this happen effectively, your surgeon may ask to detail your full medical history. Skin condition will be examined, previous operations or surgical treatments received before will be documented, medications that you currently consume will be taken down, etc. Only after this is done, will further suggestions will be offered to you!
Your surgical experience
Prepare for your forehead lift surgery by explaining precisely to your doctor what improvements you would like to see. Also, confide your doubts and discuss possible risks, recovery and results. If you are a smoker or an alcoholic, quit them right away for better surgical outcomes.
The incision is made across the top of the scalp between the ears and within the hair. Sometimes, the incision is also made towards the middle of the scalp. It is designed in a manner that would go unnoticed after the surgery is done with! The procedure also allows the surgeon to eradicate excess skin or modify or remove muscle parts that cause wrinkles, frown lines, etc.
Think of the risks too!
