Forehead Lift and Eyebrow Lift for Women

The position of the forehead and eyebrows affects the appearance of the eye area. Over time, the skin on the forehead can lose its elasticity, and the eyebrows may droop. This can make the area around the eyes appear heavier or more tired.

With a forehead lift or eyebrow lift, the area can be lifted and tailored to your facial features. The procedure is planned on an individual basis, with a focus on achieving a natural result that harmonizes with the rest of your face.

When the Forehead and Eyebrows Change

The face changes naturally over the course of a person’s life. In the upper part of the face, the skin on the forehead may lose some of its elasticity, while the position of the eyebrows may change. For some people, these changes become particularly noticeable around the outer edges of the eyebrows and the area above the eyes.

This can make the area around the eyes look heavier, even though the eyelids themselves aren't necessarily the cause.

During a preliminary examination, the specialist will therefore examine the entire area around the forehead, eyebrows, and eyes. Among other things, the specialist will assess the quality of your skin, the position of your eyebrows, and your natural facial features.

Together, you'll discuss what you'd like to change and whether a forehead lift, eyebrow lift, or perhaps another treatment is appropriate.

Forehead lift or eyebrow lift—which one is right for you?

Although both treatments involve the upper part of the face, the specific areas being treated differ.

Eyebrow Lift
An eyebrow lift focuses on the position of the eyebrow. This procedure may be appropriate if your eyebrows have dropped and you want to lift the area around your eyes. How the eyebrows are lifted depends on your anatomy and the desired result.

Forehead Lift
A forehead lift covers a larger area of the forehead and the upper part of the face. It may be appropriate when changes in the forehead are related to the position of the eyebrows.

The specialist will assess which solution is best suited to your specific facial features. The goal is to create balance in the upper part of the face without altering your natural expression.

Course of treatment

Before surgery

Before the surgery, you will have a preoperative consultation with a plastic surgeon. During this consultation, you will discuss the changes you are experiencing around your forehead and eyebrows, as well as what you hope to achieve with the procedure.

The specialist examines the area around the forehead, eyebrows, and eyes and assesses, among other things, the position of the eyebrows, the quality of the skin, and your facial proportions.

Based on this information, you will discuss which treatment is appropriate, and you will receive information about the surgery, the expected outcome, the recovery period, and possible risks.

During the operation

How the surgery is performed depends on the treatment and surgical method planned in consultation with the specialist.

An eyebrow lift adjusts the position of the eyebrows, while a forehead lift treats a larger area of the upper face. If both areas are to be treated, the surgery is planned based on your individual anatomy.

The location of the incisions depends on the surgical technique. Care is taken to place the scars as inconspicuously as possible.

After surgery

After the surgery, swelling, tenderness, and discoloration may occur around the forehead and eyes. The extent and duration of these symptoms vary from person to person and depend, among other things, on the extent of the surgery.

You will receive guidance on how to care for the area and on when you can return to work, exercise, and other normal activities.

The results develop gradually as the swelling subsides and the tissue heals. The final results can therefore only be assessed after some time has passed.
