Women with high hairlines may opt for a high forehead lift. This is technique can actually lower the hairline a bit. The incision is placed within the hairline, in a way that allows the hair to grow through the scar. Endoscopic browlift can benefit younger patients with good skin tone and a minimum of excess skin. In this technique, the surgeon elevates but does not remove sagging tissues.
Special instruments allow the surgeon to work through tiny incisions in the scalp.
In men, future hair loss must be taken into account when determining the best surgical approach. In many cases, surgeons can hide incisions in the lines and creases of the forehead. For instance, midforehead lift is often the most appropriate for men with many forehead creases, as the incision can be made within a natural line across the forehead. This technique allows for maximum tightening of the forehead skin. Direct eyebrow lift is best for men likely to have hair loss.
