As the face ages, fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin can creep up, creating a look of stress and even anger as the forehead becomes furrowed. However, a Los Angeles Forehead and Brow Lift can take care of some of these problems. This procedure does not stop the process of aging, but it can help minimize the effects of poor collagen and elastin production.
Reasons to Seek Los Angeles Forehead and Brow Lifts
A Los Angeles Forehead and Brow lift are used to lift the skin and underlying tissues of the forehead and eyebrows to create a more open look about the eyes and to smooth out the forehead skin. It is sometimes combined with a facelift for a more dramatic facial change or with eyelid surgery to open up the area around the eyes even more. It is a surgical procedure that requires being put under for a short time.
There are several ways to perform a Los Angeles Forehead lift, and Dr. Tavoussi will discuss the best option for each individual during an initial consultation. The traditional method requires making an incision at the top of the hairline where it can be more easily concealed and pulling up and reshaping the forehead. Another type of procedure requires making an incision past the hairline; this is called the coronal method. One method gaining in popularity is the endoscopic method, which is loved because it requires only small incisions to allow for the insertion of a small camera, light and instruments. However, the best method for any individual depends on what needs to be done.

Recovery After Los Angeles Forehead and Brow Lifts

A forehead lift in Los Angeles can really change the look of a face, making it appear younger as well as more refreshed and vibrant.
