Endoscopic forehead lift

Do you look tired or angry, while you actually feel good? The forehead lift is extremely suitable for the lifting of forehead wrinkles and brows. This procedure will make you radiant like never before.
When in consultancy with the plastic surgeon, he will determine what the exact cause of the problem is. If there are any signs of sagging brows, an endoscopic brow lift will be sufficient.

Endoscopic forehead lift: the operation

With an endoscopic forehead lift the plastic surgeon uses an endoscope (a tube with a torch and a magnifying glass) and examines the treatment area.
Firstly a special liquid is injected to limit loss of blood. Then a few half centimetre incisions are made behind the hair line. From there they activate the muscles that caused the wrinkles and/or sagging. Then the blunt membrane is loosened and pulled up. The complete forehead skin is pulled smooth. This causes the sagged brow to lie higher and the wrinkles to mostly disappear. The blunt membrane is set this way temporarily with soluble stitches. This will cause spontaneous healing of the membrane.
The procedure lasts approximately 2 hours and is done under general anaesthetics.

Because all the work is done deep underneath the skin muscles and nerves, your face will still look natural. Your own face is rejuvenated in a relatively easy manner.

Endoscopic forehead lift: post-operative care

A bandage is applied after the operation and it should stay on for one week. One week after the fore head lift, you may also return to work. Sports, bending and lifting should be limited for the next two to three weeks.

With a traditional forehead lift an incision is made from ear to ear. This leaves a big scar. The wound area in the endoscopic forehead lift is very small in comparison, which helps the healing and the scars become virtually invisible over time.
