Deep furrows on the forehead, frown lines over the eyes, drooping eyebrows and hood-like skin over the eyes are all conditions that can make you look older than you are or feel. Whether age or heredity causes these conditions, Dr. Sangeeta Logani at Aesthetic Eye Plastic Surgeons can offer you an option of a forehead lift (or brow lift) which can give you a more youthful, animated and alert appearance.

A forehead lift is recommended for people whose eyebrows have fallen with time and whose forehead has deep wrinkles. It is a permanent way to improve the deep horizontal and vertical grooves on the forehead that develop after years of facial expression.

THE SURGERY

The procedure that Dr. Logani performs is minimally invasive when compared to traditional surgery involves making very small incisions behind the hairline and using a specialized lighting system and camera to perform surgery. With this technique, post-operative rehabilitation is simpler, and the time necessary to get back to normal daily activities is greatly reduced. Most importantly, surgical results have been extremely successful and patient satisfaction has been very high. In some patients a temporal lift can be done to stabilize the lateral brow alone.

THE RECOVERY

You will be able to return to work in ten days and will be able to resume your routine activities and exercise at three weeks. There is very little swelling or bruising, but you will notice some numbness in the forehead and scalp for several months. Many people say how well rested you look, or ask if you've changed your hairstyle. This procedure alone can make you look anywhere from five to ten years younger.

OTHER OPTIONS

If your forehead grooves are not too deep, or you wish to discuss non-surgical improvements, then perhaps BOTOX® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin) injections or chemical peels might be for you. These are further discussed under (Non-Surgical Procedures). However, the most effective treatment to insure your desire results is best left to Dr. Logani she will be certain to provide the most effective answer for you. If you have deep grooves in your forehead we recommend you call our office at (818) 886-6700 and make an appointment to meet with Dr. Logani. She can then determine if you are a good candidate for forehead/brow lift.
