Ironing out forehead wrinkles with forehead lift surgery.
Scottsdale – A forehead lift can be performed using various techniques. The procedure has changed over the years from an open technique to more sophisticated short incisions and even endoscopic techniques, utilizing a camera to visualize the surgery steps.
A forehead lift usually involves incisions in the scalp. Incisions may also be performed in the forehead and the upper eyelids. Once incisions are made, undermining (lifting) of the skin is performed, and the deeper layers of the forehead are lifted.
Importantly, muscles that depress the eyebrows and create wrinkles in the frown area can be treated. The surgery can modify or remove parts of the muscles that cause wrinkling and frown lines, remove excess skin, and lift your eyebrows to a more pleasing level.
The results of forehead lift are a reversal of the effects of gravity and aging. Tightening of soft tissues of the forehead to restore a more youthful appearance to the upper face is an additional benefit (model used in illustration).
