Scottsdale – A forehead lift is a plastic surgery procedure used to enhance the appearance of the forehead, frown lines, and to alter the position of the eyebrows. Patients commonly request rejuvenation of the forehead because aging, gravity and exposure can significantly affect the forehead, creating flabby skin, wrinkles, and droopy eyebrows.

A forehead lift has three positive effects, including a reduction of lines and wrinkles, a tightening effect on loose skin, and a repositioning of the eyebrows into a more youthful position. A forehead lift is also known as browplasty, browpexy, endoscopic or coronal forehead lift. Forehead lift operations have many names, combining descriptive terms, based on the goals or techniques used.

Regardless of which technique is used, the procedure should accomplish the three basic goals described earlier, including a reduction in the number of wrinkles, a tightening of skin laxity, and a restoration of the eyebrows into a more youthful position.

Patents may choose which specific technique appeals to them the most, based on their comfort with the location and length of incisions, amount of downtime, and the desired goals of cosmetic surgery of the face and forehead. In our experience, the top priority for most patients, when seeking forehead lift, is the length and type of incision used.
