Description
A forehead lift is a procedure whereby the sagging skin around the forehead and eyes is lifted to give a more youthful appearance. During the procedure the tissues and muscles that have slackened are tightened to reduce furrows and sagging skin. The skin is lifted from the bone by use of a special tool and then it is repositioned and held in place by permanent sutures. This procedure rectifies the appearance of drooping eyebrows and furrows in the forehead that give an aged, tired or angry appearance. This surgery is often performed in conjunction with eyelid surgery to reduce sagging skin found on the upper eyelids.

The usual length of a forehead lift in Thailand takes approximately 1 – 2 hours.
