Procedure Description:
The Forehead Lift raises the eyebrows and smooth the verticle frown lines between the brows utilizing small incisions hidden behind the hairline.
What To Expect:
Minimize forehead creases, drooping eyebrows, hooding over eyes, furrowed forehead and frown lines by removing excess tissue, altering muscles and tightening forehead skin. May be done with traditional incision across the top of the head behind the hairline or with an endoscope which requires 3 or 4 very short incisions.
Preprocedure:
During your pre-operative consultation in our office, Dr. Harvey will take a medical history, perform an examination, take clinical photographs, and recommend and explain options that are appropriate for you. Patient Coordinators, Patricia Gottschalk and Mamie Lee, will discuss financial information and assist in scheduling your procedure.
Postprocedure:
Recovery: Back to work:7 to 10 days, usually sooner for endoscopic forehead lift. More strenuous activity: several weeks. Full recovery from bruising: 2 to 3 weeks. Limit sun exposure for several months.
Duration of Results: Usually 5 to 10 years.
