Overview

Age and other factors can cause one's eyebrows to sag or drop, giving a person the appearance of looking angry, sad, or tired. A person with these features could be considered a good candidate for a forehead lift. A forehead lift can address these problems by surgically removing or altering the muscles and tissues that cause wrinkling and/or drooping in the area above the eyes. The eyebrows are raised and frown lines are minimized.

The procedure results in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The procedure is done endoscopically, using small concealed scars within the hair of the scalp.

Costs: Approx $9,000-11,000. This includes the surgeon's fee, anaesthetist's fee and hospital stay.

• Sutures and staples for 5 days
