An upper facelift can help if the signs of aging are concentrated on the upper face. These signs include:
- Wrinkles around the eyes and wrinkles between the eyebrows.
- Deep wrinkles and sagging forehead.
- Droopy eyelids or sagging eyebrows.
An upper facelift is also known as a brow lift surgery. It is a surgical procedure to tighten the forehead and reduce wrinkles in this area. It is usually performed in the area above the corners of the eyes.
The above facelift is suitable for the following cases:
- Patients who do not respond well to Botox due to significant muscle weakness and age-related laxity.
- Patients who prefer not to have Botox injections every six months. This procedure eliminates the need for Botox afterwards.
The upper part of the face is lifted through an endoscopic procedure. Three small incisions are made in the front of the head and hidden among the hair to tighten the forehead muscles internally. An upper facelift is performed under full anesthesia and takes about an hour to an hour and a half. The patient may experience bruising and swelling of the forehead for a week to 10 days and should rest at home. No visible scars are left, and hairs grow back over the incisions after 3-4 months.
Because the procedure effectively restores youthfulness to the eyes, patients with sagging skin or wrinkles on the forehead or brow line benefit the most. By erasing 10-15 years from your appearance, an upper brow lift can make you look refreshed, more awake, and younger.
