permanent way to improve the deep horizontal and vertical grooves on the forehead that develop after years of facial expression.

An individualized consultation and evaluation with Dr. Myint is the only way to determine if you are a candidate for forehead or brow lift.

The surgery

The operation is performed endoscopically and takes about two hours. you are awake with intravenous sedation or completely asleep under general anesthesia. Through five or six small incisions in the scalp, the deep grooves can be improved and the eyebrows raised. At the end of the surgery, small sutures and surgical staples are placed to close the incision. These are removed in seven to ten days. You are able to go home the same day as surgery.

Dr. Myint will be happy to discuss this procedure in detail during your initial consultation.

The recovery

You will be able to return to work in ten days and will be able to resume your routine activities and exercise at three weeks. There is very little swelling or bruising, but you will notice some numbness in the forehead and scalp for several months. Most of our patients do not find this a major concern. Your improved look will be subtle to everyone but you. Many people say how well rested you look, or ask if you've changed your hairstyle. This procedure alone can make you look anywhere from five to ten years younger.
