Forehead lifting is an application that is
used due to various factors and corrects the sagging of the forehead and
temples. Considering that both eyebrows and eyes reflect emotions and clarify
the clarity of facial expression, the benefits of a forehead lift are obvious.

The procedure focuses on the upper face and
involves more than just correcting the forehead area, but also improves the
appearance of the eyelids. The skin of the forehead is tightened so that
drooping eyelids and excess skin are removed.

Reasons for a Forehead Lift

Forehead lift surgery, also called brow
lift operation, is mainly preferred with the intention of eliminating fine lines
and wrinkles that have formed in the upper part of the face. The main factors
that cause this situation are:

• Aging,
• Environmental factors,
• Use of exclusively cosmetic
  products,
• Stress,
• Gravity,
• Genetics.

Wrinkles on the forehead can bother people
for many reasons. Looking old, not showing the desired facial expressions and
gestures, looking angry most of the time are the best known of them. After
aesthetic surgery of the forehead, one gets a younger loo. This allows the
person to feel good not only physically, but also psychologically. As with many
other procedures, this leads to more self-confidence.

Scope of Forehead Lift Method

Lines and wrinkles in the forehead area
increase over time, muscle tissue weakens and eventually sagging occurs.
Forehead lift surgery serves the purpose of reducing or eliminating the
negative effects of such situations. The forehead, between the eyebrows, under
the eyebrows and under the eyes can be corrected with a brow lift. In some
cases, those who desire additional surgeries, may change their mind with the
effective results of the fore head lift / brow lift.

Consultation and Examination for
Forehead Lift

First, a consultation is arranged with the
patients who want to get rid of the lines and wrinkles on their forehead. After
listening to the patient's expectations and complaints, the doctor gives
detailed information. The patient's medical history is obtained and it is
decided which procedure will give better results. Since the forehead lift is
performed under local or general anesthesia, the patient's sensitivity to
anesthesia is tested before the medical operation. If all the results are fine,
the decision for the surgery is made.

Forehead Lift Procedure

Forehead lift surgery can be performed in
two ways:

1) Facial lifting with the classic forehead
lift method

2) Forehead lift with the endoscopic
method.

In the classic forehead lift, an incision
is made on the forehead skin. This incision is made between the temples and the
scalp. Then, the relevant skin is stretched upward and the resulting excess
skin is cut off. Finally, the area is sutured. It should be noted that the
classic method is no longer the preferred.

In endoscopic forehead lifting, the
incision method is used as well. The target area of the incisions is the scalp,
so no scar will be visible. The endoscopic forehead lift method is performed
with the help of a micro camera. The endoscope, which is connected to the
camera and light instruments, is positioned inside the micro-incision on the
scalp. Just a few inches of incision is sufficient. This is to ensure that the
specialist can easily see the surgical site and perform aesthetic surgery
flawlessly.
