A forehead lift can smooth the forehead,
raise the upper eyelids, and minimize the frown lines that come
with aging.
In preparation for a forehead lift, the hair
is tied back with rubber bands in front of and behind the incision
area. An incision is usually made across the top of the head, just
behind the hairline.
Different methods for different indications:
THE ENDOSCOPIC Lift: The Endoscopic Lift corrects the wrinkles on the forehead, the frowns between the eyebrows and the position of the eyebrows.
THE SUSPENSION THREAD Lift: With the Suspension - thread lift - method, the plastic surgeon can lift eyebrows and sagging jowls. Lifting of the eyebrows with the extended suture method can be done on its own, or in combination with an endoscopic brow and forehead lift.
MODErn LIFTING METHODS
In the past a forehead and brow lift was quite an invasive intervention. The plastic surgeon made a coronal incision from ear to ear to correct muscles and skin. The result was a large scar which was annoying especially to balding men.
The invention of the endoscope made the procedure less invasive and safer without the disturbing scars.
the endoscopic method
Lift without scars
During a forehead lift, muscles and tissues that cause furrowing or drooping are removed or altered to smooth the forehead, raise the eyebrows and minimize frown lines.
The surgeon makes three or five short incisions. An endoscope is inserted, allowing the surgeon a clear view of the muscles and tissues beneath the skin.
Using another instrument the surgeon can lift the underlying tissues of the forehead; this results in a smoother appearance of the forehead.
This way, the surgeon can correct the muscles of the forehead, often permanently improving the “wrinkles of motion” such as the frown and the horizontal forehead wrinkles.
The procedure takes about 1 – 1 ½ hours while you will be asleep.
Intravenous sedation has replaced classic general anesthesia, which results in more efficient painkilling. Contrary to traditional narcosis, in which a tube is brought into the throat and connected to a respirator, you will actually be fully asleep, breathing for yourself, without feeling any pain at all. When waking up after surgery, you feel fine, without suffering the common side effects of a traditional general anaesthetic.
the thread LIFT method
Suspension treads ensure a maximum lasting result.

The surgeon inserts an elastic and antibiotic thread subcutaneous with a long needle. Sagging tissues of the brows and cheeks can be lifted and tugged into place with this procedure.
The surgeon inserts a long small needle at the specified entry points along a specified plane. Incisions are therefore not necessary.
The tread lift procedure can also be done on its own without the endoscopic forehead lift. |
The special antibiotic threads dissolve slowly whenever your collagen has encapsulated and bunched around the threads causing a further lifting effect. Any rejection of the treads is thus minimized.
Tread lift Surgery provides quick and relatively bloodless lifting for patients who may need only little to moderate rejuvenation.
