Precision Forehead Rejuvenation for Smoother Skin, Elevated Brow Position & a Rested, Youthful Look
A forehead lift is a transformative upper-face rejuvenation procedure designed to correct deep forehead lines, drooping brows, and age-related changes that make the face look tired or tense. At Memorial Hospital Turkey, internationally trained plastic surgeons perform this procedure using advanced open and endoscopic techniques for long-lasting, natural results. The goal is not only to smooth the skin but also to restore facial harmony and brighten the patient’s overall expression.
🩺 What Is Forehead Lifting?
A forehead lift is a cosmetic procedure performed to smooth wrinkles, tighten loose skin, and elevate sagging brows that contribute to an aged or heavy appearance. It rejuvenates the upper face by restoring contour and reducing deep expression lines.
This procedure gently lifts the forehead tissues, repositions underlying muscles, and tightens excess skin using either open or endoscopic techniques. These approaches allow surgeons to address visible signs of aging while preserving natural facial movement. The result is a fresher, more awake, and more balanced expression.
A forehead lift can also improve drooping eyelids indirectly by reducing downward pressure from the brows. Many patients choose to combine it with eyelid surgery to achieve complete upper-face rejuvenation.
The outcome is a smoother forehead, more defined brow position, and a youthful, rested appearance that enhances facial aesthetics without an artificial look.
🩺 Types of Forehead Lift
• Open Forehead Lift – Removes excess skin through a hidden incision in the hairline for strong, long-lasting rejuvenation.
• Endoscopic Forehead Lift – Uses small incisions and a tiny camera to lift tissues with minimal scarring and faster healing.
• Temporal / Lateral Brow Lift – Targets the outer brow for a subtle, natural elevation.
• Combined Brow & Forehead Lift – Harmonizes the entire upper face by tightening both the forehead and brow region.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
A forehead lift is ideal for individuals who want to correct forehead wrinkles, sagging skin, and drooping eyebrows that create a tired, sad, or stern appearance. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and desire long-lasting upper-face rejuvenation.
