Forehead lifts are surgical procedures that aim to reduce sagging, wrinkles, and signs of aging in the forehead area. These surgeries are often appropriate for the following conditions:

Sagging in the Forehead Area
With the aging process, the skin in the forehead area can sag and the eyebrows can droop downward. This can cause a person to look tired or old. Forehead lift surgeries can correct sagging in the forehead area by removing or tightening excess skin and tissues in the forehead.
Drooping Eyebrows
If the eyebrows droop downward, this can cause the eyes to look small or tired. Forehead lift operations aim to achieve a more youthful and dynamic appearance by lifting the eyebrows upwards.
Forehead Wrinkles
Deep lines and wrinkles on the forehead can cause a person to look older. Forehead lift operations aim to reduce wrinkles on the forehead and increase skin tension.
Congenital Anomalies
Some people may consider a forehead lift surgery due to congenital forehead anomalies or asymmetry. In these cases, the surgery can correct structural irregularities in the forehead and provide a more symmetrical appearance.
Results
Forehead lifts are generally appropriate for adults who are healthy and understand the expectations of the procedure. However, it is important to have a detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon before the procedure and to learn about the details, risks, and consequences of the procedure. In addition, careful recovery after the procedure and compliance with the doctor’s recommendations are also important for successful results.
The following situations may not be suitable for a forehead lift operation or may be among the situations that need to be taken into consideration:
- People with serious health problems.
- Those with medical conditions such as blood clotting disorders.
- Those who smoke or drink excessive alcohol.
- Those who do not have a support system to manage their recovery.
- Those who are overweight or in the process of losing weight.
- Those who are not psychologically ready for the operation.
These factors may not apply to everyone, and it is important to follow the eligibility criteria your surgeon has determined for your particular situation.
