Forehead Lifting Surgery in San Diego, CA
FREE Initial Consultation
As we age, we find our skin loses it elasticity and increases the age we look. Some of the first places to show these signs of aging are the brow and forehead areas, and the skin stretching can be even worse for those who spend a lot of time outdoors as sun and wind add on additional years. The affect of these wrinkles is often worse than the mere appearance of aging, because it also often results in a constant display of a tired, angry or sad expression. Fortunately, you don’t need to live with a sagging browline anymore. A skilled San Diego cosmetic surgeon can help you pull back the years with a simple forehead lift.
There are a number of different methods for performing a forehead life and your San Diego plastic surgeon can help you understand which procedure will suit your needs. Most techniques involve removing excess skin to tighten the area, but your doctor may also remove part of the muscle that causes vertical lines between the brows. The main difference between most of these options involves where the incision will take place. The most traditional technique is the coronal incision, which involves using an incision just behind the natural hairline, but if you are looking to lower your hairline, a similar technique, called the pre-trichial incision may be an advantage. The newest method being used by plastic surgeons in San Diego is to use a number of small incisions just behind the hairline. This technique takes more time, but has fewer risks and is less invasive.
One of the easiest ways to decide if you are ready to call our offices about a brow lift is to put your hands above your brows and along the edges of your eyes and softly pull the skin up and to the back. If you like the way you look while doing this, you may want to schedule a consultation with a skilled San Diego cosmetic doctor from our firm.
While most people who undergo this surgery are between the ages of fort-five and sixty-five and are doing it for cosmetic reasons, some patients may need it at a younger age and many people find they need to have the procedure performed for functional needs. If your forehead is excessively saggy, it could even sink into your eye area and start impairing your vision. Whatever your age or reason for the surgery though, it is critical you only work with a qualified and experienced facial cosmetic surgeon in San Diego. If you have any questions, please call our offices and schedule a consultation.
