Pronounced lines on the forehead, as well as
frown lines
, can be optimally corrected with a forehead lift, also referred to as an upper
facelift
or brow lift. When the connective tissue of the forehead descends as part of the natural ageing process, it can also push the eyebrows downward, causing
hooded eyelids
. Depending on the degree of muscle laxity, this can give the eyes a tired appearance or even restrict the field of vision. By tightening the soft tissue of the forehead, a significant smoothing of forehead lines and
frown lines
is achieved.
An experienced plastic surgeon can determine whether
hooded eyelids
originate from connective tissue laxity in the forehead or in the eyelids themselves. Accordingly, a brow lift or
eyelid lift (blepharoplasty)
may be indicated to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes or to tighten the forehead. As a temporary treatment option for
frown lines
and horizontal forehead lines,
wrinkle treatment
with
Botox
is also an excellent choice. For hooded eyelids and lines around the eyes, a
hyaluronic acid
treatment can also achieve improvement. Which treatment is right for you can be discussed during a
consultation
with
Dr. Schuhmann

With a forehead lift using Botox® or hyaluronic acid – "No more worrying about worry lines!"
A forehead lift also smooths frown lines and
worry lines
. These lines develop through repeated muscular activity in facial expressions. In most cases, they can be reduced just as effectively with a
wrinkle treatment
using Botox®, which restricts muscle movement for several months. Injecting a filler material, such as stabilised
hyaluronic acid
, can also smooth frown lines and
worry lines
. Wrinkle filler
injections
are a treatment for the temporary improvement of forehead lines. A forehead lift, by contrast, delivers a lasting result.
What results can be achieved with a forehead lift?

A forehead lift can achieve remarkable results. It raises drooping eyebrows and smooths lines caused by pronounced frowning, with the aim of restoring a fresh, youthful facial expression. The procedure can also be performed in combination with other aesthetic surgeries, such as a
facelift
and
eyelid lift (blepharoplasty)
.
Who is a suitable candidate for a forehead lift?
Women and men with drooping eyebrows and/or pronounced
frown lines
are good candidates for a forehead lift, also known as a brow lift. In cases of a very "high" forehead – that is, where the distance between the eyebrows and the hairline is particularly large – the classic "open" technique with an incision along the hairline is performed.
How is the forehead lift performed?
A forehead lift is performed under general anaesthesia. The small incisions made within the hair-bearing area leave no visible scars afterwards. Through these incisions, the forehead region together with the eyebrows is tightened and lifted. The forehead skin is then fixed in place to ensure a lasting result.
What should be observed after a forehead lift?
After a forehead lift, a sensation of tension may be noticeable for several days. After a few weeks, the forehead will have fully settled. We recommend planning for one week off work and refraining from sport for a further week.
