Forehead lifts, also known as brow lifts, are facial cosmetic surgical procedures that work to improve your overall facial appearance by correcting cosmetic issues that develop over time due to age, sun exposure and gravity. These factors affect the elasticity of your skin, causing it to sag, loosen and create a less attractive appearance.

Forehead and brow lifts work to improve your appearance by:

• Reducing wrinkles across the forehead, between the eyes and along the bridge of your nose
• Eliminating frown lines between the eyebrows
• Lifting brows that are sagging over the upper eyelids

There are several forehead and brow lifting procedures available. Forehead and brow lifts involve making incisions into specific areas and then gently guiding the tissues into their proper positions. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons will examine your brow and discuss your goals with you to determine which type of forehead and brow lift will be most beneficial for you.

You may experience some swelling and bruising for the first 10 days following your forehead lift procedure. Most patients recover completely after about two weeks. You can help reduce swelling by using cold compresses and keeping your head elevated. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons will also provide you with detailed post-op instructions, which you should follow as closely as possible in order to ensure a successful treatment and a quick recovery.
