Forehead lift

The modern endoscopic method, which is recommended for most patients, is performed through small skin incisions (1-1.5 cm) on the scalp. In these places, traces of interference will be almost invisible. The operation is performed using small instruments with a video camera at the end, which allows the doctor to monitor all actions. The price of an endoscopic forehead lift is slightly higher, but this is justified by the low trauma, short rehabilitation period, and excellent results.

Other options for plastic surgery in the forehead and eyebrows:

• coronary lift is a classic surgical forehead lift that requires an extensive incision along the edge of the scalp, which has more contraindications and complications;
• temporal lift is a method of correcting the drooping corners of the eyebrows, in which small incisions are made in the temporal zone of the face;
• forehead thread lift is a minimally invasive method, in which special surgical threads are used to fix the skin, forming a frame of soft tissues;
• transpalpebral lift - correction of overhanging skin through incisions in the crease of the upper eyelid, which is mainly performed simultaneously with blepharoplasty.

Each forehead lift method has advantages and disadvantages. To choose the best option for yourself, you should consult an experienced plastic surgeon at the Dobrobut Clinic.

The operation is mainly performed on people over 35-40 years old who face unaesthetic changes in the upper third of the face. If the doctor sees that cosmetic procedures cannot obliterate defects and achieve the desired youthful appearance of the face, he selects the best option for plastic surgery.

Before setting the date for the plastic surgery, the doctor must examine the patient and make sure that there are no contraindications. For this, the Dobrobut MN clinic carries out a standard preoperative complex of examinations:

• clinical and biochemical blood test;
• general urine analysis;
• coagulogram;
• tests for viral hepatitis, HIV infection, syphilis;
• ECG;
• chest x-ray.

The cost of the selected anesthesia medications is added to the price of the forehead and eyebrow lift based on the results of the consultation with the anesthesiologist. If the patient has chronic diseases, consultations of specialized doctors are additionally appointed to determine the possibility of an operation.

A forehead thread lift is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 40 minutes. After the manipulation, the patient receives recommendations and goes home the same day.

A surgical lift is performed only under general anesthesia in the operating room. The duration of the operation is 1-2 hours, which depends on the volume and complexity of the correction. If necessary, it can be combined with other types of plastic face or body correction. The price of an endoscopic forehead and eyebrow lift includes a hospital stay with round-the-clock medical supervision for 1 day after the operation.

Patients who wish to have an eyebrow and forehead lift need to be prepared to go through a period of tissue repair and healing. The duration of rehabilitation depends on the method of correction: with thread lifting it is 7-10 days, with endoscopic lifting - about 2-3 weeks, with coronary plasty - up to 2 months. In the first days after surgery, bruising and swelling are inevitable, so patients are advised to take time off or vacation. The stitches and fixation staples are removed in 7-10 days.

For quick recovery after a forehead lift, the surgeons of the Dobrobut clinic provide patients with a list of recommendations:

• wear a compression bandage on your face to fix the tissues in the desired position;
• sleep only on your back on a high pillow to quickly eliminate puffiness;
• treat the seams with antiseptics and other drugs as prescribed by a doctor;
• do not apply decorative cosmetics to the postoperative area;
• do not carry out the massage, hardware, or injection cosmetic procedures until the tissues are completely healed;
• avoid active physical activity, baths, and saunas for 1 month after the operation.

The final result can be assessed 1.5-2 months after the tightening. It lasts for an average of 7 years if all medical recommendations are followed.

The price of a forehead plasty depends on the method of performing the operation and its complexity. A thread lift that does not require general anesthesia and is performed on an outpatient basis will cost the patient the least. All types of surgical operations are an order of magnitude higher due to the complex technique, the need for anesthesia, and the work of a team of specialists. The cost of an endoscopic brow and forehead lift is higher than that of other methods due to the use of innovative equipment.

At the Dobrobut MN clinic in Kyiv, an endoscopic forehead lift and other types of plastic surgeries are performed to correct age-related changes in appearance.

Affordable prices of plastic surgery services do not affect their quality - all operations are performed by experienced doctors in modern operating rooms, and the latest surgical instruments are used for manipulations.
