A forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate and rejuvenate the forehead and brow area. It is performed to address sagging eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and horizontal lines on the forehead. There are two primary techniques used for this procedure: endoscopic and conventional (open) forehead lifts.

What is Forehead Lift?

• Endoscopic Forehead Lift:
  This minimally invasive technique involves the use of an endoscope (a small, thin tube with a camera) and small incisions hidden within the hairline. The endoscope allows the surgeon to visualize and adjust the underlying tissues and muscles, lifting the brow and forehead to a more youthful position.
  
• Conventional (Open) Forehead Lift:
  In this approach, longer incisions are made across the forehead, typically within the hairline. The surgeon lifts and tightens the forehead tissues directly, repositions the brows, and removes excess skin if necessary.

Benefits of Forehead Lift

1. Rejuvenated Appearance:

• A forehead lift can restore a more youthful and refreshed look by elevating sagging brows and smoothing forehead wrinkles.

2. Improved Facial Harmony:

• It can enhance facial symmetry and balance, creating a more harmonious appearance.

3. Long-Lasting Results:

• Forehead lift results are typically long-lasting, providing sustained improvement for many years.

4. Customizable:

• The procedure can be tailored to meet the individual patient’s aesthetic goals and address specific concerns.

Treatment Process

Experience the ZenKai difference with our personalized Forehead Lift, available in both endoscopic and conventional options. We prioritize your comfort and contentment throughout the treatment process. Here’s a sneak peek into what your journey will entail:

1. Consultation:

• The process begins with a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. The patient discusses their goals, and the surgeon evaluates their facial structure and skin condition.

2. Anesthesia:

• The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on patient and surgeon preferences.

3. Incision Placement:

• For the endoscopic approach, small incisions are made within the hairline. In the conventional method, longer incisions are made across the forehead, typically within or at the hairline.

4. Tissue Adjustment:

• In the endoscopic approach, the surgeon uses the endoscope to adjust and lift the underlying tissues and muscles, while in the conventional approach, the surgeon directly manipulates the forehead tissues.

5. Brow Repositioning:

• The brows are repositioned to a more aesthetically pleasing level.

6. Excess Skin Removal (if necessary):

• In the conventional method, excess skin may be removed before closing the incisions.

7. Sutures and Dressings:

• The incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings or bandages are applied to protect the surgical area.

8. Recovery and Follow-up:

• Patients are provided with post-operative instructions, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and address any concerns.

Results and Duration

Our Forehead Lift procedures at ZenKai deliver visible improvements to your appearance, always emphasizing a beautifully natural outcome. Learn more about the expected results and duration based on your chosen approach.

1. Results:

• Endoscopic Forehead Lift: Results become apparent as swelling and bruising subside, typically within a few weeks. The final outcome is a more youthful and refreshed appearance with elevated brows and reduced forehead wrinkles.
  
• Conventional (Open) Forehead Lift: Similar to the endoscopic approach, results are visible as swelling and bruising resolve, resulting in a more youthful forehead and brow position.

2. Duration of Results:

• Both endoscopic and conventional forehead lifts offer long-lasting results that can persist for many years. However, the aging process continues, and some gradual changes may occur over time. Maintenance procedures or non-surgical treatments may be considered to extend the results as needed.
