You look at yourself in the mirror and see that your appearance is not what it used to be. Your eyelids and eyebrows have sagged, the outer corners of your eyes have drooped, your forehead is lined with wrinkles, and you look gloomy and gloomy. However, you are still full of strength and energy, and you are not as old as you might seem when you look at your face. Don't despair, there is a solution! Plastic surgery can help you.
Eyebrow and forehead lift is a plastic surgery that smoothes horizontal and vertical wrinkles on the forehead and lifts the outer corners of the eyes and the eyebrow line. As a result of this operation, the skin of the forehead becomes smooth, and the eyes become more lively. There are several techniques that allow this operation to be performed. You will learn about them below.
Classic eyebrow and forehead lift technique
The first stage of the operation is the incision. The incision is made in the hair-bearing area of the head. It starts at the level of the ear and continues towards the other ear. The skin is carefully separated at the required distance. The surgeon redistributes it and changes the position of the muscles located in the forehead above the eyes. If necessary, excess fatty tissue is removed. After the lift, horizontal wrinkles are smoothed out and excess skin is formed, which is then cut away. After that, stitches are applied to the wound.
Endoscopic eyebrow and forehead lift
The operation begins with 2-3 incisions, no more than 1.5 centimeters long. Special instruments are inserted through these incisions, as well as a tiny video camera that transmits images to a monitor.
The skin is peeled away at the required distance from the bone. Peeling is performed in the part of the skin where there are the fewest blood vessels, which ensures minimal blood loss. The skin and muscles are fixed in their new position with sutures.
Excess skin is not cut off, but evenly distributed over the entire area. This significantly reduces trauma to blood vessels, nerve endings, and hair follicles. The final stage of the operation is suturing. Endoscopic forehead and eyebrow lift is performed much faster than a classic facelift.
Plastic surgery to lift the eyebrows and forehead is performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other procedures, such as otoplasty, blepharoplasty, or liposuction.
Indications for forehead and eyebrow lift.
As a rule, this plastic surgery is performed on women or men over 40 and under 60 years of age, but the age range may vary in either direction. The operation can be performed before the age of 40 if signs of aging, such as drooping corners of the eyes and eyebrows, have already appeared.
List of indications:
- Drooping eyebrows are one of the main and most common indications.
- The shape of the eyebrows gives the face an angry or gloomy appearance.
- Excess skin in the upper eyelids and drooping of their outer edges.
- Massive sagging of tissues located in the upper third of the face, accompanied by an accumulation of excess tissue in the bridge of the nose.
- Sluggishness and decreased elasticity of the skin of the temporal region, the outer part of the forehead, in the corners of the eyes and upper eyelids.
- Deep horizontal wrinkles in the forehead area.
- Wrinkles in the root of the nose.
- A large number of vertical and/or oblique lines located between the eyebrows.
Contraindications to forehead and eyebrow lift.
- Hypertensive diseases.
- Type I and II diabetes mellitus.
- Serious diseases of the cardiovascular system.
- Thyroid disease.
- Infectious and inflammatory processes.
- Serious diseases of the internal organs.
- Cancer at any stage.
- Complete loss of skin elasticity.

Preparation for surgery.
Before the operation, Dmitry Vladimirovich will examine your face and assess the condition of your skin, facial muscles, and skull bones. During the consultation with the surgeon, you will need to inform him of any underlying medical conditions and previous facial surgery, if applicable. It is recommended to stop smoking a couple of weeks before the operation. Dr. Sloser will give you the necessary recommendations on taking medications that you will need to follow. Do not cut your hair before the operation, but carefully gather it into thin bunches using small elastic bands.
Rehabilitation after surgery.
The average duration of the rehabilitation period after a classic eyebrow and forehead lift is 2-3 weeks. After an endoscopic lift, it is about one week. After the operation, swelling of the upper third of the face is observed for two to three weeks. The final result of the operation becomes visible after 1.5-2 months.
After a classic lift, there is often a decrease in skin sensitivity in the forehead area. There may also be itching and discomfort in the area of the sutures. After endoscopic surgery, these symptoms may also occur, but much less frequently and with much less intensity.
