Forehead- brow

   We all have vertical lines on the forehead which usually show difference from person to person. Those lines are becomming vertical between the brows in time. Also, the forehead skin starts laxing and sagging just like the skin of the face; current lines get deeper correspondingly with aging. Brows are sagging down in time and that can make you appear more tired than you actually are. Malnutrition, smoking, unsteady life style, air pollution, wrong or absent skin caring, effect of gravity and mimics are making it easily unpleasant aesthetically.

   With forehead lift surgery, the lines in forehead are minimized. Brows which are sagging down above the eyes are lifted; so that the patient has a smooth appearance. A certain amount of lines near eye area can also be removed at the same time. If there is an extreme sagging and the skin removing is necessary; classical forehead lifting method can be applied. In classical methods, a scar which is up to 4 to 5 cm's at the back of hairline in shape of a crown occurs, but this scar is hidden inside the hair. After surgery, a loss of sensation which may last for a long time can occur around hair skin area. Brow lift surgery which is applied for brow correction is usually combined with forehead lift surgery. Separate browlift surgery is not necessary. Besides, browlift surgery can be applied all alone. It is possible to lift the brows to a required level by small incisions through the hair skin.

   Recently, forehead lifting or "browlifting" surgeries can also be made with endoscopic method. The same results can be obtained with a 3 or 4 cm's of incision inside the hair skin area in cases of patients whose skin has to be removed in a greater amount. This method is applied in most of the patients. In this method, the process after surgery is more comfortable; no loss of sensation is seen in hairy skin or it occurs in a minimal level. The surgery is made in hospital conditions, under the observation of anaesthesiologists.
It can be realized with general and also with local anaesthesia, or with intravenous sedation (via vascular access, half sleeping). It takes 1 to 2 hours. It is possible to get out of the hospital at the same day. It can be applied together with other plastic surgeries if it is necessary.
