When to consider a forehead lift with Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Diana Ponsky

LOCATED IN BEACHWOOD | SERVING CLEVELAND AND NORTHEAST OHIO

The eyebrows can lower over time, resulting in a tired and stern or angry appearance. A forehead lift elevates the eyebrows and reduces upper eyelid heaviness and helps open up the eyes. By elevating your forehead and repositioning your eyebrows, we can take years off your appearance, transforming a furrowed brow or sagging upper eyelids into a youthful, rested look.

Our surgical options are customized to your needs and desired outcome to reveal a more pleasant and approachable expression. Our minimally invasive endoscopic brow lift creates results very similar to the traditional approach, and the added benefit of a quicker recovery period with less discomfort, with natural-looking results.

How It Helps


The benefits of a forehead lift performed by top ranked Cleveland facial plastic surgeon Dr. Diana Ponsky will impact more than your eye area. Forehead wrinkles and creases will appear smoother, and excess skin or tissue hanging over the eyes is lifted, opening up the eyes. Frown lines between the brows can also be addressed, softening a stern look. While a forehead lift focuses on the upper face, the overall effect of the procedure reveals a more well-rested facial expression.

Before

What to expect before a forehead lift

Cleveland facial plastic surgeon Dr. Ponsky will begin your consultation by asking about your goals and expectations, then will discuss any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors. After examining, photographing, and analyzing your face, the surgeon will discuss potential options and a recommended course of treatment, as well as outcomes, risks, or potential complications.

During

What to expect during a forehead lift

Anesthesia will be administered so that you will be comfortable during the procedure, with either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. One of two types of incisions will be made, decided upon in your pre-surgical consult. If the incision is endoscopic, a thin camera and narrow instruments will be placed through a series of small incisions made within the hairline. The tissue and muscle beneath the skin are adjusted with precision, correcting visible creases and furrows in the forehead. A brow lift with a hairline incision involves a longer incision through which hair eventually grows. The forehead skin is then lifted and any muscle adjustment can be made under direct visualization. The resulting scar from a coronal or pretrichial brow lift is well concealed by the hair.

After

What to expect after a forehead lift

Expect to stay home from work for about a week or two, depending on the surgical approach. Ice should be applied to your forehead and eyes for the first few days to control swelling. Elevate your head to promote healing, including sleeping on your back at a slight elevation. Some bruising and numbness around your eyes and brow is common, and these effects will subside over time. Avoid unnecessary strain on your body, such as vigorous activity or heavy lifting, for at least two weeks. Suture removal at your first post-surgical visit will be quick and uncomplicated. Plan on regular check-ups for 1 year after surgery to monitor results and healing.
