Forehead lift can give the upper third of the face the same youthful appearance that facelift gives the lower two-thirds. A sagging forehead with deep horizontal lines can make a person look angry or tired. Smoothing the forehead restores a rested, relaxed appearance.

During forehead lift, also known as brow lift, your surgeon will make an incision across the top of the forehead at the hairline to lift and remove excess skin and tighten muscles. The placement of the incision will minimize visible scarring.

Some patients may be candidates for endoscopic forehead lift. To perform this procedure, the surgeon places a camera on the end of a narrow tube and inserts the tube into one of several small incisions above the hairline. Then, special instruments are used to tighten tissue and hold it in place. This procedure is less invasive and results in much quicker healing than the standard procedure.
