A forehead lift, also called a brow lift, can help create a smoother forehead, elevate your eyebrows, and reduce wrinkles. This procedure has become more popular in recent years as an anti-aging option to rejuvenate the upper part of your face.
With time and exposure to environmental toxins, your skin may change, which could result in visible signs of aging. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Sanjay Lalla, could help address your cosmetic concerns and meet your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, you can learn more about the surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures we offer, including a forehead lift in New Jersey.
A forehead lift is a surgical procedure that raises the skin, muscle, and tissues of the forehead, giving you smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. Forehead wrinkles and frown lines can make you appear chronically angry or tired. A brow lift could create a more refreshed and alert appearance for people in New Jersey by reducing wrinkles and elevating drooping eyebrows.
Several techniques may be considered for a forehead lift, including a traditional lift that uses a longer incision across the scalp or an endoscopic lift that uses smaller incisions and a camera-guided approach. The best surgical option will depend on your anatomy and the degree of correction you would like. Dr. Lalla could perform the procedure under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the method used.
You could experience several cosmetic and functional benefits from a forehead lift. It helps smooth the horizontal lines across the forehead and reduces the deep furrows between your eyebrows, known as 11s or glabellar creases. This procedure could also lift sagging eyebrows to a more natural position, which helps open up the eye area.
While the results are typically long-lasting, your face will continue to age. A brow lift in New Jersey can also be used in conjunction with other procedures, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery, to enhance overall facial rejuvenation.
During your consultation at our New Jersey office, we will discuss the factors that impact your candidacy for a forehead lift. The procedure is generally performed on people aged 40 or older who have noticeable forehead wrinkles, low-drooping eyebrows, and frown lines, making them appear older. You should be in good general health without any underlying medical conditions that might impact your healing, such as uncontrolled heart disease or type 2 diabetes.
Smoking is another risk factor for anesthesia and healing, as it can increase the risk of infection. We recommend that you stop smoking for at least six weeks before and after the surgery. Younger individuals may be candidates for a forehead lift if they have genetically low eyebrows. Other factors include your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.
For our New Jersey patients, a forehead lift is an outpatient procedure, but you will not be allowed to drive yourself home after undergoing general anesthesia or sedation. On the day of surgery, a friend or relative who can drive you home should accompany you. This surgery can last up to two hours and uses incisions that are well-concealed within the hairline and fade over time.
Recovering from the surgery could take about two weeks. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first few days. This could usually be managed with medication, ice packs, and by keeping your head elevated. After a follow-up visit, most people are cleared to resume their normal activities within 7 to 14 days.
We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments based on the procedure you had done. This helps us to monitor your healing and watch for any early signs of infection. With proper skin care and sun protection, the benefits of your forehead lift could last for many years.
A forehead lift could give you a more rejuvenated and alert appearance, which may benefit you personally and professionally. If you are struggling with visible signs of aging and feel younger than you look, we encourage you to call our office and schedule a free consultation with Dr. Sanjay Lalla.
