Forehead Lift Danbury, CT | Michael Baroody, MD

Understanding Forehead Lift Surgery

A forehead lift is a surgical procedure designed to create smoother forehead skin and a more refreshed, alert appearance. Michael Baroody, MD offers two primary techniques: the classic open method and the minimally invasive endoscopic approach.

Ideal Candidates for Forehead Lift

Forehead lifts are most commonly performed for patients aged 40-60, addressing visible signs of aging. However, individuals of any age experiencing the following conditions may benefit:

• Deep furrows or frown lines
• Inherited low or heavy brow
• Desire to look more alert and refreshed
• Significant upper eyelid skin overhang

Surgical Techniques

Classic Forehead Lift

The classic technique involves an incision along the hairline. Dr. Baroody carefully lifts forehead skin, removes underlying tissue, and alters forehead muscles to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift

The preferred method at Baroody Plastic Surgery involves minimal, small incisions. Using an endoscopic camera, Dr. Baroody can precisely modify underlying facial structures with minimal scarring and faster recovery.

Procedure Details

• Performed under local anesthesia with sedation
• Typical duration: 1-2 hours
• Outpatient procedure
• Recovery period: 1-2 weeks

Potential Risks and Considerations

While complications are rare, potential risks include temporary numbness, minor scarring, and potential nerve sensitivity. Dr. Baroody thoroughly discusses individual risks during consultation.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to normal activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and minor discomfort typically subside quickly. Results can minimize aging signs for several years, providing a more youthful and rested appearance.
