A forehead lift is an operation that lifts or repositions tissues in the forehead and eyebrow area. One possible aim is to address lowered eyebrows. It differs from upper eyelid surgery, although the visible features may overlap.
There are different open and endoscopic approaches. Selection depends on factors including eyebrow position, hairline, skin and the person's goals. Scars are placed as discreetly as possible, but they do not disappear completely.
Possible effects include swelling, bruising, changes in sensation, asymmetry and altered hair growth along the incisions. The duration of surgery, anaesthesia and recovery depend on the extent of the operation.
