Subcutaneous forehead lift

The subcutaneous forehead lift has a more significant effect than the endoscopic method, making a better result perceptible and visible. The forehead skin and eyebrows are moved relative to the underlying forehead muscle and attach themselves to the muscle at a higher position during the healing process. This makes the result more permanent than the endoscopic technique. During the subcutaneous lift, excess skin is also removed. The height of the forehead remains the same or can even be shortened (if desired) to create an aesthetic improvement. The subcutaneous forehead lift produces a scar, partly in and partly behind the hairline. The visible part on the hairline will eventually fade.

Endoscopic forehead lift

This treatment loosens the eyebrows, the forehead skin and the forehead muscle from the bone and lifts this. This moves the hairline back, increasing or extending the forehead. The scars are hidden within the hairline. The endoscopic method is also suitable to remove a lipoma or exostosis from the forehead without a (visible) scar.

Limited brow lift

In some patients, a limited or direct brow lift is sufficient. In this treatment, some skin is removed, and the muscle is shorted, with a scar on the outer/upper edge of the eyebrow. This lifts the outside of the eyebrow. This technique is especially suitable if ageing has caused drooping of the outside of the eyebrow. It is easier to hide the scar in people with heavy eyebrows.
