Forehead and Temple Lift Surgery (Brow Lift)

What is Forehead and Temple Lift Surgery? (Brow Lifting)

Forehead and temple lift surgery, also known as brow lift, is an aesthetic operation performed to correct sagging or drooping of the eyebrows and forehead. The forehead lift procedure is performed by stretching the skin and muscle tissues in the upper part of the forehead and elevating the eyebrows. During the surgery, a surgical incision is made while the patient is under general anesthesia. The connection between the forehead bone and the scalp is cut, and the skin and muscle tissues in the forehead and eyebrow areas are stretched. This allows the eyebrows to be lifted and the forehead to appear more taut.

During a temple lift surgery, the surgeon stretches the skin and muscle tissues in the temple area by making an incision just behind the hairline. This lifts the eyebrows and gives the eyes a more open, vibrant, and youthful appearance. After the surgery, the patient may experience swelling, bruising, and pain for several days. They can typically return to their normal activities within a few days following the procedure. Forehead and temple lift surgery can also change a tired or sad facial expression, giving the person a younger, more energetic, and healthier appearance. However, like any surgical procedure, these procedures carry certain risks and may not be suitable for everyone. Therefore, it is important to carefully evaluate the potential risks and benefits of any aesthetic procedure before undergoing it.
