For the most part, the method in which the lift is done involves one continuous incision starting at ear level and then moving around the hairline. A well-done procedure will ensure no visible scarring will appear at the hairline after the operation and healing process.
Other types of procedures can also be done. Your doctor can make more than one incision using an endoscope so the surgeon can view the procedure on a large screen as she works. Similar procedures to the hairline lift are a browpexy or a direct brow lift, which adjusts the brow position. Some of these procedures, can, at times, be combined with a facelift or other similar cosmetic procedures.

As with any surgery, there is always some risk involved. Some of the side effects and possible complications that can occur are: prolonged swelling, small amount of hair loss around the incision, bleeding underneath the forehead (skin”>, injury to the nerve that raises the eyebrow and temporary numbness or itching of the forehead and hair.
Recovery from the forehead lift procedure takes time. Doctors stress the importance of patience through the healing process. Most surgeons recommend 2-3 days of cold compresses and elevating your head with a lot of rest. Sutures are typically removed about one week post-surgery and most clients have fully recovered after two weeks.
