Face lifts range in size from "mini" to "standard" depending on location and on skin laxity. Facelift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, or under local anesthesia with sedation. Your surgeon will start by making incisions near the hair line on either side of the face from the temples, around below the ear, to the lower scalp. He then tightens muscles and cuts away excess skin. The exact position of these incisions varies because each patient is unique.

A face lift may be combined with other procedures to reach the desired overall effect. Some procedures that enhance the result of a face lift are eyelid lift, brow lift, chemical peel, dermabrasion, chin enlargement, rhinoplasty, fat suction, and laser skin resurfacing. Because insurance does not cover aesthetic surgery, and because of the fact that any surgery means some risk, you want to be well informed.

A forehead lift or "browlift" is used to correct a drooping browline (eyebrow area) reducing the horizontal lines and furrows (worry lines) that often make a person appear angry, sad or tired. The procedure creates a refreshed, youthful appearance to the forehead area above the eyes. When performing a forehead lift procedure, muscles and tissue areas that droop or cause creases are removed or corrected to smooth the skin on the forehead to reduce frown lines and raise the eyebrows. There are two surgical methods, and during your initial consultation the procedure that works best for you will be recommended. The first is the most conventional method where a surgical incision is hidden just above the hairline. Browlifts are also performed using an endoscope which enables the procedure to be performed with a minimal number of incisions. While the traditional method can sometimes attain more lift, both methods create smoother, flatter skin on the forehead.

Forehead Lift: The surgeon performs Brow and Forehead Lifts to raise eyebrows and reduce ridges and furrows on the forehead, thus creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. This procedure can be performed in conjunction with other surgeries.

An incision is generally made across the top of the forehead from the front of one ear to the front of the other ear. The forehead and brows are elevated and excess skin is removed. The flap is then sutured. Newer techniques now allow us to perform Forehead Lifting through small incisions in the scalp by using an Endoscope and specialized instruments. This accelerates the healing process.

A forehead lift or "brow lift" 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.

In a forehead lift, the muscles and tissues that cause the furrowing or drooping are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the eyebrows and minimize frown lines. Your surgeon may use the conventional surgical method, in which the incision is hidden just behind the hairline; or it may be performed with the use of an endoscope, a viewing instrument that allows the procedure to be performed with minimal incisions. Both techniques yield similar results -- smoother forehead skin and a more animated appearance.
