Our forehead procedure allows a balanced repositioning of the eyebrows, removal of a portion of the frown muscles and considerable improvement of the lines of the forehead by using short incisions in the scalp. Through these incisions, fiberoptic instruments with a small camera are inserted and the operation is completed while using a monitor. The skin is then held up with the use of absorbable fixers on the bone. The hairline does not change its position.

The ideal position of the eyebrows are decided upon before the surgery and with exacting measurements.

There is moderate swelling and bruising and patients will take 10 days to 2 weeks for full recovery. There is minimal discomfort.

The endoscopic forehead lift is a far cry from the old forehead lifts where a long incision was used across the forehead, creating undesirable sensory loss in the remainder of the scalp.

Looking in the mirror and seeing a face that looks tired, aged and even angry can be extremely discouraging, especially if one doesn't feel this way, but their face gives off that impression to the outside world.

Often as a person ages the eyebrows begin to descend, causing one to appear much older and worn out than they feel, but a forehead lift (also known as a brow lift) can help alleviate these problems. A forehead lift not only lifts a saggy brow line but also helps create a smoother, more refined look to the forehead. Additionally, this procedure can help to lessen the appearance of crow's feet in the temple area next to the eye.

Repositioning forehead skin may be necessary to achieve the optimal improvement in eyelid surgery, attracting attention to opened, more inviting eyes. For those with heavy descended brows undergoing a facelift procedure, a forehead lift may be key to maintaining a natural look. It will also help smooth out excess wrinkles, crow's feet and skin of the temporal region. Modern technology has improved the way we perform this procedure. New techniques include using lighted scopes placed through small, well-hidden incisions within your hairline. This leads to less swelling, bruising and your recovery time is much quicker.

A facelift or eyelid surgery combined with a forehead lift can make a marked difference in creating a more open and youthful appearance to the face. Dr. Karaca believes this simple procedure will allow you to look refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.
