Forehead lift is known as an aesthetic and surgical procedure. In this procedure, sagging in the forehead area is reduced to obtain a more youthful and vibrant look. During this procedure, the muscles and tissues in the forehead are reshaped and wrinkles are removed to provide a younger and fresher appearance.
A forehead lift is usually performed by an aesthetic surgeon. Local or general anesthesia can be applied during the procedure. The surgeon makes an appropriate incision in the forehead area for the surgery. This incision is usually made on the scalp and can be concealed in the hairy skin. Then, the surgeon reshapes the muscles, tissues, and skin to create a younger look and removes wrinkles. After the procedure is completed, the cut area is closed with stitches and a bandage or wrap is applied.
Forehead lift is usually performed on people who are uncomfortable with sagging or wrinkles around the forehead area of their face. The person's general health status is evaluated and suitability for surgery is determined. Normally, any adult can have this procedure. However, certain factors, such as certain health conditions or the use of certain medications, may prevent a person from being eligible for surgery.
The recovery process after a forehead lift typically proceeds smoothly. For the first few days after the procedure, a bandage or wrap can be applied to the surgery area. There may be slightly more pain or discomfort than usual in the first few days. Symptoms such as swelling, bruising, and sensitivity may last for about one week to one month on average.
