FOREHEAD & BROW LIFT
Men and women anti-aging procedure
Brows and forehead area show the first signs of aging effects.
Skin begins to lose its elasticity resulting in frown lines, wrinkling across the forehead, and an increasing heaviness of the eyebrows.
Forehead lift or brow lift aims at rejuvenating the upper third of the face.
Graduated from New York University as a fellow of plastic surgery in 1990, Dr. Husami, MD, Cosmetic, Plastic and hand surgeon, explains the various brow-lift methods which involve different length incisions in different locations and, sometimes, an endoscope.
Only a highly experienced board-certified plastic surgeon can determine if this procedure will achieve the patient’s goals and will choose the appropriate brow-lift technique accordingly.
Making sure that your doctor is registered in LSPRAS (www.lspras.com) is already the first step towards safety.

TECHNIQUES
Open brow lift also named classic, coronal or trichophytic brow lift:
Best for advanced brow droop with deep wrinkles. The incision is across the top of the scalp, beginning above the ears and hidden within the hair.
Endoscopic brow lift: Great for mild brow sag and horizontal wrinkles. This technique requires minimal incisions, but may not be beneficial for all patients.
Limited incision technique: This fusion technique addresses balding men who have little temporal hair. It is commonly performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery. The resulting scars are hidden in the temporal hairline.
Brow lift surgery is an outpatient procedure, performed using general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia.
