Frontoplasty
or forehead lift surgery is a procedure that improves
and restores a fresh and juvenile aspect of the frontal
area. This procedure corrects eyebrows drops and improves
expression lines that makes people look like tired,
sad or in a bad mood.
On the eyebrows level
besides lifting and setting them, it is possible to
modify its form working all the extension or only the
eyebrow’s tail.
This surgery is performed ENDOSCOPICALLY, that is, using
a lens that allows to visualize all forehead’s
structures without damaging any nervous or vascular
structure and which is introduced by very small incisions
(1,5 cm) in the scalp, which shall be completely imperceptibles.
We use a special technique of internal fixation of the
tissues to the bone allowing assuring results through
the years and not letting the eyebrows to fall on the
following months.
This is an ambulatory
surgery which takes 2 hours that can be performed under
sedation and local anesthesia or general anesthesia
(especially if other surgeries are going to be performed).
It has a recovery of
1 week, a slight inflammation is produced in the forehead
and cheeks area that goes away quickly, occasionally
appears bruises.
The
frontoplasty can sometimes be performed with eyelids
surgery to obtain a better result of the lower third
part of the face, or also can go together with rejuvenescence
from the lower part of the face (Rhytidoplasty).
