Question : I notice that when I am not smiling, it looks like I am frowning. People actually comment that I seem angry. I don’t know if this involves just my mouth or both my mouth and eyes. Would a consultation help me identify whether I need a cheek lift, an eyelift or both?

Question : I prefer getting an endoscopic brow lift to the other brow procedures. In this procedure, is the muscle actually cut? Can dissolving sutures be used instead of regular sutures so I don’t need to come back to the doctor’s office?
Answer : Wait, wait a minute. This is a real operation and requires careful follow up. Yes, some muscles are cut and absorbable suture can be used. BUT, how do you know that this is the best operation for you. If you have a very heavy brow or thick skin, an open approach may be better.

Question:
I’ve read a lot about the forehead lift but would like to know a bit about post surgery aftercare. What will the recovery be like after the procedure?
Answer:
You will be swollen and your eyes will be black and blue. You will need to apply ice for 3-4 days. There should not be much pain, just tightness. The length of time you have numbness varies with the approach, less with the endoscopic approach. Here is a link to our photo galleries on forehead lift:

Question:
I am a woman with a high brow line. How can a forehead lift be performed on me so that my scars are not as visible?
Answer:
An open forehead lift can be hidden the hairs at the front of the hair line. This is called a trichophytic incision. An endoscopic brow lift hides the incisions in the hairline but may be hard to do with a very high hairline.
Question:
Where exactly are the incisions made for a browlift? Are they visible after surgery? What if you have a receding hairline?
Answer:
It depends on the type of browlift. In a direct brow lift the incisions are at the top of the brow. In a mid-forehead lift they are in a forehead crease. In an open browlift the incision is hidden at the hairline, In an endoscopic browlift, there are a series of small incisions at the hair line. A receding hairline can be a problem for the last two. Often a direct browlift or a midforehead lift is what is needed.
