Loose Forehead Skin? (photo)

Some patients have significantly more skin laxity than others, but skin laxity alone typically does not account for eye symptoms and difficulty focusing. Starting with a formal eye exam by an ophthalmologist would be helpful. Brow lifting techniques may eventually be helpful as well, but a trial of Botox is much simpler to start with if the eye exams are normal. Finally, brow lifting is going to leave some sort of scar, even if the scarring is minimal. Given how short the hair is worn in these photos, any incisions may be difficult to completely hide.Be sure to see a surgeon specializing in facial aesthetics.All the best,

You're loose forehead should not be causing you any symptoms such as you describe. You need to see an ophthalmologist for a full exam. If you would like the skin of the forehead tightened this can be done with the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead incision.

People have varying amounts of mobility of the skin over the forehead and scalp.  You are most likely just on the end of the spectrum that is most mobile.  This mobility alone does not normally cause any symptoms.  You would really need an exam to determine if there is any other issue taking place.  

From the photo, this looks like normal aging changes. Loss of collagen in the skin creates laxity. Changes in the facial skeleton creates a lack of support for the brows causing them to shift downward. Movement of the frontalis muscle, which lifts the brows, can cause the wrinkles that you see. This condition can often be improved with products like BOTOX Cosmetic, etc. to relax the frontalis muscle or to lift the brows higher.

I sounds like a browlift may help you, endoscopic will be the preferred choice. On the picture it looks like you have mild brow ptosis (descend of the brows). The only way to give you an accurate opinion is with a consultation, however you should consider treatment of the corrugators, orbicularis and central frontalis with botox, to give you some elevation of the brows and to see how your symptoms respond. This may help you with out surgery.

You need to see a board certified plastic surgeon in your community

You need the forehead and brow lifted up by about 7 to 10mm. This can be done by a forehead lift through 3 little incisions!

At age 23 it is hard to imagine doing a browlift. Your muscle movenment at your age is dynamic and a male eyebrow normally is transverse an at the margin of your bone structure. Some day, consult a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. You may want to consider an endo brow lift with removal of the muscles in between your brows.All the best

I agree that a Browlift, on a 23 year old male isn't the answer and that you should have a medical workup to rule out collagen disordes that make the skin more lax.

You need to be examined by a competent internist to assess the possibility of various syndromes (Ehlers-Danlos, Marfan's, etc).  Surgery with these is likely to fail if the surgical technique is not altered to account for this.  Also, your forehead muscles appear to be a bit overactive.  A trial of botox would be warranted before surgery.  Good luck!

This is a most unusual situation. But if your symptoms are alleviated by tightening the forehead skin and your brows look ok when you stretch the skin, a browlift type of operation can be done at or above the hairline depending on certain hair conditions. A coronal or endoscopic approach would give hidden scars for the near future, but would raise the hairline. This might be ok if the hairline does not become too high and  if there is no tendency for men in your family to become bald. The trichophytic hairline approach would not change the hairline position  but with future hair loss would also yield detectable scarring. Your eye symptoms should be evaluated by an opthalmologist .If he/she agrees that elevation of the forehead is therapeutic, you should then be seen by a surgeon experienced with forehead lift work who also understands male pattern hair loss.
