Forehead Lift
A procedure that smooths forehead lines and repositions sagging brow tissue for a more youthful upper face.
What is Forehead Lift?
A forehead lift addresses deep horizontal lines across the forehead and sagging brow tissue, often performed using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques with a few small, well-hidden incisions along the hairline. Your surgeon lifts and repositions the underlying tissue and muscle to smooth the forehead and elevate the brow, then secures this new position before closing the small incisions. This is closely related to, and sometimes used interchangeably with, a brow lift, with the specific technique tailored to your individual anatomy and goals. The procedure is performed under general or local anaesthesia with sedation.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Deep, persistent horizontal forehead lines
- A heavy or sagging brow affecting upper facial appearance
- A desire for a smoother, more youthful forehead
- Forehead lines that have not responded to non-surgical treatments
- Often performed alongside other facial rejuvenation procedures
How does this procedure help?
A forehead lift smooths deep lines and repositions sagging tissue for a noticeably more youthful, refreshed upper face, addressing concerns that non-surgical options like injectables often cannot fully resolve. Because minimally invasive techniques are commonly used, recovery is generally quicker than more extensive facial surgery. Most patients see final results within a few weeks, with the improvement typically lasting many years.
