FOREHEAD LIFT
What is
Forehead Lift?
Forehead Lift,
also called Brow Lift,
is a surgical procedure that corrects sagging brows and improves the
horizontal lines and furrows on the forehead, making the patient look
younger and more radiant. Patients who request for Forehead
Lift are usually those
around 40–60 years old.
Risks on
Forehead Lift
Bleeding may occur on your forehead,
just like in any other surgical procedure, but this risk will be
diminished by a pressure dressing that will be put on the patient after
the operation. Complications that happen after this procedure are rare
and minor when done by a certified cosmetic
surgeon. Moreover, when
incision is made through the hairline, hair loss can take place on the
edges of the scar on the scalp.
Frequently
Asked Questions on Forehead Lift
Q: Should my
plastic
surgeon evaluate me first for my Forehead Lift surgery? How does the evaluation
go?
A: Yes, the evaluation is necessary before you are given the surgery.
Make sure to discuss with your surgeon your medical history, including
any medical conditions you have, previous medical treatments, current
medications you are taking, and surgeries you have undergone. Your
entire
forehead and upper eyelid
region will be examined to document the muscle activity for your
different facial expressions. This is necessary because the surgical
technique that your surgeon will recommend depends on factors such as
the position of your eyebrows,
the amount of excess upper eyelid skin,
and the height of your hairline.
Q: How do I prepare
myself fo Forehead lift
surgery?
A: Think ahead and prepare all the things you
need post-surgery. All
necessary toiletries, work-related tasks and your comfort food should
be there and within reach when you get home from your operation.
Ideally, plan all these two days ahead and relax. That should get you
prepped up for your forehead lift surgery.
Q: Are there any
medicines I am not allowed to take before surgery?
A: Yes. Most of these are aspirin-containing
drugs, anti-inflammatory
drugs, and vitamin E, which increases the risk of bleeding.
Q: Is there a
particular
position for sleeping after the surgery?
A: Avoid pressure on the area of surgery and follow special
instructions from your surgeon. The ideal position is to
sleep with your back to the bed and your head elevated.
Q: How long will it
take
before I can resume my normal activities?
A: Any strenuous activity and exercise may be
done in two to four weeks
after the surgery. But you will be able to resume most of your normal
activities in ten days or less after your Forehead
Lift.
Q: How long will
the
results last?
A: The results of the procedure can last
from five to ten
years, depending on each individual. Heredity and lifestyle are some of
the factors in finding out how long the results of Forehead lift
can last for you.
