Cosmetic Surgery - A Forehead Lift

If you look in the mirror and notice that your forehead has wrinkles that you never noticed before and or your eyebrows seem to be sagging along with the rest of your face, then you might consider cosmetic surgery as a solution. There are other procedures that can be combined with a forehead lift to fix the rest of the face, or you can get just a forehead or eyebrow lift.

Leaving your forehead and eyebrows the way they are with wrinkles and sagging will not hurt you physically, but it might affect the way you feel about yourself and the way that you think others feel about you. If this bothers you a great deal and you think it affects your life in too many ways then you should consider a cosmetic surgery for it.

Even though having a forehead lift does not sound like a major undertaking, it is still cosmetic surgery, so it will be important that medical issues are considered before deciding to have the procedure. You might want to find a surgeon that you believe is right for you and then take the time to consult at least once with him or her to see if they think you will be a good candidate for the procedure you are considering.

As you look for a surgeon to consult with, you will want to consider whether he or she is board certified. You might also want to find out how often the doctor performs the particular procedure you would be having. Finding a surgeon that is also a member of one of the reputable plastic surgery associations will also be a benefit.

Once you find a surgeon and are able to consult with him or her about your prospective procedure, hopefully you will get the answers that you need in order to make an informed decision about the cosmetic surgery.

One area you might discuss when considering a forehead lift is the recovery time. You might wonder why there would be much recovery when they are just dealing with your forehead. There will however be some rest time because incisions will be made and muscles will be adjusted and changed. Because of this, you will not be able to exert yourself right at first, but normal activity might be able to restart by 10 days after the procedure. Recovery will be different for everyone, but it is important to follow the instructions of your doctor so that you will not aggravate anything or cause new problems. Smoking and taking anti-inflammatory drugs are out of the question after your procedure. You should also be careful not to put any make- up on the stitches. This will not be an issue if the incision was placed behind your hairline.
