Description of Forehead Lift:
What is a Forehead Lift?
A forehead Lift (also known as a Temporal Lift or an Open Browlift), is surgery designed to correct drooping eyebrows and upper eyelids, sagging skin on the forehead, furrows on the forehead and frown lines. A forehead lift helps reverse some signs of aging or, in younger patients, corrects a sad or worried facial expression. Sometimes a forehead lift is carried out alongside a facelift, nose reshaping or eyelid surgery procedures.

Multiple surgical procedure choices for a forehead lift are available. The most common forehead lift procedures are:
- Mid-forehead lift: The mid-forehead lift is carried out through the removal of skin, muscle and fat from incisions cut into deep forehead wrinkles. Visible scars are the main disadvantage of this type of forehead lift surgery.
- Coronal forehead lift: This classic forehead lift procedure is carried out through an ear-to-ear cut across the forehead with the entire forehead skin lifted, trimmed and closed. The scar is hidden behind the hairline.
- Endoscopic forehead lift: The endoscopic lift is a new technique where a surgical instrument – an endoscope - is inserted through a number of small incisions in the hairline in order to lift the forehead. The endoscopic lift is today’s most popular technique as it is less invasive.
