The Procedure
The drooping skin and tissue in the face are removed in order to smooth the forehead and raise the eyebrows. The classic surgical method of performing this procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours and includes a coronal incision, running from ear to ear, across the forehead.
Ideal Candidate
You should be an adult in good general health, preferably a non-smoker. Patients undergoing this procedure should have realistic expectations for the results after surgery and be ready to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow the medical team’s instructions for recovery and beyond. Often, patients under 40 will request this procedure if they have prematurely aging skin.

- Swelling for up to a week
- Bandages are removed 1-2 days post surgeries
- Stitches or sutures are removed within 2 days
