What is a forehead lift?
Forehead lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that corrects the drooping of the forehead and eyebrows. In the case of an endoscopic lift, 4 to 6 small incisions of 1 to 2 cm are made in the scalp. In the case of a classic forehead lift, the incision will be from ear to ear, hidden in the scalp. The goal is to detach the forehead and temple area, weaken the muscles responsible for wrinkles, then reposition the tissues and maintain them with deep fixation. Forehead lift can be associated if necessary with eyelid aesthetic correction (blepharoplasty) or a facelift (face and neck lift).

Forehead lift gives a fresh look to the eyes. It effectively lifts the tail of the eyebrow. The procedure also treats forehead sagging. It corrects horizontal forehead wrinkles. It treats drooping eyebrows and excess eyelid skin. Frown lines (glabellar lines) are also smoothed.
How to prepare for the procedure?
The extent and importance of the preoperative assessment will be decided during the preoperative consultation.

How is forehead lift surgery performed?
1. In the case of an endoscopic lift
4 to 6 small incisions will be made in the hair or at the hairline of 1 to 2 cm each. One of them will allow the passage of an endoscope connected to a mini video camera (thus allowing the surgical gestures to be followed on a television screen). The other incisions allow the passage of special instruments.
2. In the case of a classic lift
The incision will be hidden in the scalp and will go from ear to ear. This allows tightening and smoothing a sagging forehead with significant skin excess. In both cases, a complete detachment of the forehead and temples, eyebrow arches and nasal root is performed. Weakening of the glabellar muscles responsible for frown lines and the frontal muscle responsible for horizontal wrinkles is performed. The detached tissues are put back under tension.
In the case of an endoscopic lift from small incisions, the tissues are maintained by deep fixations whose mode varies according to the surgeons. In the case of a classic forehead lift, in the entire incision with removal of a variable amount of scalp depending on the case. At the end of the procedure, a slightly compressive and shaping dressing is placed as well as an ice pack on the eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Forehead Lift
1Can a forehead lift be performed without surgery?
There are non-surgical alternatives such as botulinum toxin injections (Botox) or thread lifts. However, these methods offer temporary and less dramatic results. Surgical forehead lift remains the most effective solution for lasting eye rejuvenation, with results that can last 8 to 12 years.
2How long do forehead lift results last?
Forehead lift results are long-lasting and can last 8 to 12 years. This duration depends on several factors: skin quality, natural aging, sun exposure and the patient's lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle and regular sun protection help prolong the results over time.
3Can a forehead lift be combined with blepharoplasty?
Yes, this is even a very common and recommended combination. The forehead lift acts on the upper third of the face (forehead, eyebrows) while blepharoplasty corrects laxity of the upper and lower eyelids. This combination allows for overall and harmonious eye rejuvenation, with a single recovery period for both procedures.
4Are forehead lift scars visible?
Scars are placed strategically to be invisible. In case of a classic forehead lift, the incision is hidden in the scalp, from ear to ear. In case of an endoscopic lift, the 1 to 2 cm incisions are also concealed in the hair. Scars fade naturally and become practically undetectable after a few months.
5When can I return to work after a forehead lift?
Return to work is generally possible between 10 and 15 days after the procedure, when the main swelling and bruising have disappeared. For intense physical activities or physically demanding jobs, it is advisable to wait 3 to 4 weeks. A gradual return is recommended for optimal recovery.
6Does a forehead lift change facial expression?
No, a properly performed forehead lift does not alter the natural facial expression. The surgeon preserves the balance of muscles and tissues for a natural result. The goal is to rejuvenate the eyes while maintaining the patient's expression and personality. The "frozen" or "surprised" effect sometimes seen is the result of an inappropriate technique, highlighting the importance of choosing an experienced surgeon.
7Can a forehead lift be performed under local anesthesia?
Yes, forehead lift can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation (neurolepto-analgesia) in most cases, especially for the endoscopic technique. General anesthesia is generally reserved for classic forehead lifts or when a combined procedure is performed simultaneously. The choice of anesthesia is discussed during the preoperative consultation based on your needs and health condition.
