1. Consult
Your treatment process always begins with a free consultation. During the consultation, the surgeon will ask about your concerns and wishes. They will assess your situation and determine whether a forehead lift can achieve the desired result. We are happy to take the time to discuss all your questions, concerns, and doubts.
2. Operation
A forehead lift typically takes 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon makes several small incisions in the scalp, detaches the periosteum, cuts it below the eyebrows and along the sides, and lifts it in a U-shape toward the back of the head. The procedure is performed using an endoscope.
3. Aftercare
Once you go home, any drains will be removed and your dressings will be changed. You will receive a prescription for pain medication; you can also take paracetamol. We recommend cooling the operated area with a cool pack for the first few days at home. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions from us.

Frequently Asked Questions
A forehead lift can shift the hairline back approximately two to three centimeters. This makes the forehead slightly higher or longer, making the endoscopic forehead lift particularly suitable for patients with shorter foreheads. The procedure is also suitable for balding individuals because the scars are so small. Besides restoring the eyebrows to their correct height, this method also tightens and smooths the skin on the forehead.
Immediately after the procedure, your face may be significantly swollen. This will not look good. We recommend cooling the operated area at home for the first few days with a cool pack to reduce pain and swelling.
Post-procedure symptoms may include headache, swelling of the forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids, painful or very tender forehead and eyebrows, and bruising. The skin on the forehead, eyebrows, scar area, and sometimes the back of the head may feel numb or numb for a while. This will gradually subside.
The subcutaneous sutures will remain palpable for a while as lumps under the skin, and if dissolvable screws were used, you will also feel these. The swelling will disappear after about four to eight weeks. After the surgery, you should rest for two weeks, after which you may resume light work. Avoid physical exertion and sports for the first six weeks, as well as lifting heavy objects and bending over.
You may also avoid wearing any creams or makeup on the surgical area for two weeks. If your eyelids have also been corrected, you may not wear contact lenses for two weeks.
The final result of a forehead lift can be assessed after approximately six weeks. Complete symmetry is the goal, but can never be guaranteed for 100%.
The effect of a forehead lift is long-lasting, but of course, the aging of the skin and sagging of facial tissues cannot be stopped. After a forehead lift, you do have a head start on the aging process, approximately 10 years.
With every surgery, there is a risk of infection, which manifests as pain, swelling, redness, and pus from the wound. Postoperative bleeding and an adverse reaction to the anesthetic may occur. Bruising can also occur, usually accompanied by swelling. Asymmetry may develop, and prolonged tenderness of the surgical area and scars may occur. Scars heal better in some individuals than in others. In rare cases, hypertrophic (significantly thickened) scars may form. If unexpected problems arise, for example, inflammation, increasing pain, postoperative bleeding, or impaired wound healing, please contact us immediately. Because we are a subsidiary of OLVG, We are available 24/7 in case of complications.
