Forehead rhytidectomy

There exit lots of method to solve this problem. Each of them has its own pluses and minuses. Technically, the coronal method is one of simple methods of eyebrow lifting: an incision runs over the scalp, and the dissected skin is lifted. Since this method visually increases the forehead length and pushes the hair line posterior, it is ideal for people with a short forehead and is not recommended to those inclined to alopecia or having a high forehead. Minuses of the coronal lifting are a durable rehabilitation, a long suture, partial loss of sensitivity and the risk of partial hair loss.

Endoscopic eyebrow lifting is one of the newest and most “democratic” methods to lift the eyebrows. This operation uses an endoscopic camera and long thin endoscopic instruments that are introduced through 4-5 small scalp incisions leaving practically no traces after healing. The forehead skin is carefully dissected, and mimic muscles, which are actually the cause of wrinkles, are transected. The skin is fixed in a stable position with special fixation threads, this being specifically important early after the forehead lifting. Moreover, when using endoscopic technique the skin is practically not removed, and the loss of sensitivity is minimal. Minimal postoperative traces make the operation maximally suitable to people with a high forehead and anterior scalp baldness.

Temporal or lateral eyebrow lifting is the lifting of eyebrows resulting in smoothing canthal wrinkles and elevating external eyebrow angles. During this operation incisions are made within the hairy temporal areas on both sides of the face. Temporal eyebrow lifting especially fits to those with lowered external eyebrow angles. This lifting can also be performed in combination with endoscopic eyebrow lifting.

Eyebrow lifting along the hair line is much similar to the coronal eyebrow lifting but has a number of essential distinctions: an incision runs along the upper forehead on the hair line, extending several millimeters inside the hair line. The frontal and eyebrow skin is lifted while the abundant skin is removed. As a rule, this procedure is selected depending on the hair style for those who do not want to have a high forehead.
