The forehead and eyebrows make up the upper one-third of the face. A standard face and neck lift is really a lift of the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. A forehead lift is a facelift of the upper one-third of the face. It may be combined with a standard face and neck lift or an eyelid lift. A forehead lift is recommended for people whose eyebrows have fallen with time and whose forehead has deep wrinkles. It is a way to improve the deep horizontal and vertical grooves on the forehead that develop after years of facial expression. The Surgery The standard forehead lift, recommended for severe age-related forehead and eyebrow problems, Dr. Messa performs through an incision in the hairline of the forehead. The operation takes about one and a half hours, and may be performed with you awake with intravenous sedation or completely asleep under general anesthesia. At the end of the surgery, small sutures are placed to close the incision. These are removed in seven to ten days. You are able to go home the same day as surgery. If your eyebrow or forehead problem is not too severe, then perhaps you would be a good candidate for endoscopic surgery of the forehead. Through three or four small incisions in the scalp, the deep grooves can be improved and the eyebrows raised. Dr. Messa will be happy to discuss this procedure in detail during your initial consultation. The Recovery You will be able to return to work in seven to ten days and will be able to resume your routine activities and exercise at three weeks. There is very little swelling or bruising, but you will notice some temporary numbness in the forehead and scalp. Most of our patients do not find this a major concern. Your improved look will be subtle to everyone but you. Many people say how well rested you look, or ask if you’ve changed your hairstyle. This procedure alone can make you look anywhere from five to ten years younger. Other Options If your forehead grooves are not too deep, or you wish to discuss non-surgical improvements, then perhaps BOTOX® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin) injections or chemical peels might be for you. These are further discussed under (Non-Surgical Procedures). However, the most effective treatment to insure your desire results is best left to Dr. Messa he will be certain to provide the most effective answer for you.
