In short, no. The facelift procedure is an effective cosmetic surgery procedure in the sense that it eliminates excess skin from the lower face and neck area and also improves the appearance of wrinkles. However, the techniques used during a lower facelift will not address lines or wrinkles along the forehead. A patient who is interested in improving this region will have to have a brow lift or a forehead lift, or they can have these procedures performed in combination with a facelift.
