Forehead lifting

The first folds appear already in the relatively younger years of a man at the forehead. These let the whole face look older around years. Forehead mimic anger folds and eyebrows sunk let lifting remove success and the face wins back at a juvenile freshness with one. Particularly women often want an increase in the lateral parts of the eyebrows as an additional medical treatment. A facelift is frequently combined with a forehead lifting.

The forehead lifting as a rule is carried out into general anesthesia and lasts for approximately one and a half hours. The operation uses the classic or the endoscopic technique.

The classic medical treatment is chosen mainly at older patients if the skin has already tired very much in the forehead area. So that the scars remain invisible later the incision leadership of the one is carried out up to the other ear in the area of the hairy forehead in which a great skill of the surgeon requires this one. The physicians pay attention to it particularly at male patients very much since the scars would lie freely at men by a fading of the hairs later at the forehead. After this the forehead skin is solved by the bone including the forehead musculature at an eyebrow lifting even to down to the eyebrows. The tissue then gets fixated, the eyebrows raised in the new job which removes a surplus skin and stitches the scar up.

The endoscopic medical treatment is carried out most at younger patients since no way cutting of the surplus skin is as a rule necessary at them yet. Unlike the classic medical treatment this procedure has the advantage that only few small incisions are necessary through what remains hardly any visible grain back. The surgeon leads the narrow small pipes under the periosteum by these small slices. The endoscopy camera and the work instruments which are fine and developed especially are in the small pipes. The tissue gets visible with the help of the micro camera at a screen. Tissues and musculature are tightened and locked the skin in the new job.

After the operation one is usually after 10 to 12 days socially acceptable again. Within the first weeks one should sleep with an upper part of the body increased lightly on the back. The definite result is visible only after about three months.

To minimize the risks, the operation should be prepared well. For four weeks from the operation the patient limits the smoking strongly. Two weeks from the operation should on pain-killing medicines be renounced such as aspirin.

In front of the operation should a thorough advice conversation take place with the surgeon, in which all questions and expectations of the patients be discussed. The method also has to be fixed with the single patient to obtain the best result. A serious physician informs the patients about possible risks and explains the limits of the medical treatment.
