Does a forehead lift smooth forehead skin, glabella or crow’s feet?

Not only do endoscopic (and other types) forehead lifts help create a more open appearance to the eyes and brow area, this procedure also does a wonderful job of relaxing the crow's feet and glabellar lines. In fact, the crow's feet lift is one of the huge benefits to the endoscopic forehead lift, especially when the lateral/temporal pockets are lifted and treated in the specialized way that our technique offers. The endoscopic forehead lift really is a procedure that delivers what it promises. 

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this, depending on your exact situation.

For less significant issues, there are nonsurgical treatments: To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if there is more substantial eyebrow drooping. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best,

As we age the skin of the forehead area can sag causing lines and wrinkles.  A forehead lift (or brow lift) can tighten and smooth the muscles of the forehead and glabellar area giving a very pleasing youthful appearance.  It can also improve the hooding of the upper eyelids.  Be sure to consult with a surgeon who specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery to go over your best options.
