A forehead lift or "browlift" is a procedure that restores
a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. The
procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal
lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad or
tired.
Browlifts can be performed alone, or is frequently performed in
conjunction with other procedures such as
facelift or
eyelid surgery.
The browlift corrects the deep horizontal lines in the forehead
and raises the brows back to a more youthful position when they
fall below the orbital rim (eye socket). This procedure can be
performed through an incision running over the top of the head
or with very limited incisions along with upper lid lift.
After surgery you may be wrapped in a light head dressing for
48 hours. Mild bruising and swelling during the first week to
ten days is not unusual. Most patients are able to resume a normal
level of activity within two weeks after surgery. Possible risks
associated with a browlift include numbness and weakness in the
muscles of the forehead. Complications are rare and usually temporary.
