As we age, tiny lines that cross the forehead begin to increase in depth and width. The result of all these small lines is a forehead that sags and wrinkles. Thanks to modern technology, a forehead lift (brow lift) can effectively remove all of the damage that time has done.

Thanks to recent advancements within the field of plastic surgery, performing a brow lift is quicker, safer, and longer lasting than ever before. Depending upon your current brow position, there are two different ways that Dr. Racanelli can perform this procedure including “traditional” and “endoscopic.” The method that is right for your face will be discussed during your initial consultation.

The traditional brow lift includes a small incision that is made across the scalp back deep within the hairline. This incision will be hidden by the hairline once the scars heal. Once the incision has been made the muscles that are causing those wrinkles will be removed or altered. In addition, during this procedure forehead skin will be tightened, brows will be lifted, and the forehead will be smoothed.

The “endoscopic” technique involves five small incisions that are made across the scalp. As with the traditional method, these incisions are inconspicuous. An endoscopic forehead lift includes a small camera that is inserted into one of the five incisions. By looking at a small screen next to the patient, Dr. Racanelli can then use precise instruments in order to manipulate the forehead muscles and position the brows properly.
