Forehead Lift

New York City, Manhattan, Long Island, and Westchester, New York

Lines across the forehead and between the eyebrows are all too common as we grow older. Frown lines or worry lines can make you look older than you really are, or can give you the appearance of being constantly worried or angry. Dr. Scott Newman performs forehead lift surgery for his New York City, New York area patients and can help you look younger by reducing the lines of age and worry on your forehead.

Deciding on a Forehead Lift

The forehead lift is an effective solution for those who have a disproportionate number of lines and wrinkles in the forehead. It can also be used in conjunction with a face lift to eliminate most of the signs of aging from the face.

To see what you might look like after a forehead lift, press upward on the skin at either edge of your hairline to tighten the span of the forehead. Many of the lines, both horizontal across the forehead and vertical between the brows, will become less noticeable. The long-term effects of a forehead lift will provide similar results.

To get an even better idea of what a forehead lift can do for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Newman. You will be able to look at before and after pictures of previous patients to see what a forehead lift can and can’t do to restore your youthful look.

How a Forehead Lift is Performed

Depending on your individual situation and how Dr. Newman chooses to do the surgery, incisions are usually placed either along the hairline or farther back along the head where they will be covered by your hair. The skin of the forehead is tightened and any excess skin is removed, giving your forehead a smoother, more relaxed and youthful look.

As with most plastic surgery procedures, recovery from a forehead lift takes a few weeks. Stitches are usually removed within five to ten days, and the majority of the swelling will have subsided within two weeks. Full healing can take a few months, but as swelling diminishes and scars fade to white, you will begin to see the final results of your forehead lift.
