Ft. Lauderdale Forehead Lift and Brow Lift
The most obvious signs of aging appear on our faces in the form of wrinkles and deep creases. The forehead lift, or brow lift, is designed to reduce signs of aging and restore a fresh, vibrant, youthful appearance.
Results of a Forehead Lift:
- Reduces "frown" lines around the eyes
- Minimizes deep creases across the forehead and bridge of the nose
- Lifts a sagging brow line
What to Expect
Prior to surgery, Dr. Stokes will discuss your goals and will design an individualized plan that will best suit your needs. At this time, she will decide, with you, where the incisions will be made. Different techniques can be used to perform the surgery, depending on the nature of your forehead lift.
The lift can be performed through a single incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid or through several small incisions hidden in the hairline. Talk to Dr. Stokes about other procedures that can be performed in conjunction with the forehead lift to further enhance your youthful appearance such as a chemical peel, eyelift, or facelift.
Most forehead lifts are performed in the surgeon’s office or hospital operating room and allow for the patient to return home the same day of the surgery. The procedure usually takes 2 hours.

Most patients are able to return to work within 10 days and are advised not to engage in vigorous physical activity for a month after surgery.

The forehead lift is long lasting, if properly maintained by a healthy lifestyle.
