Forehead Lift: Rejuvenating Your Appearance with Covai Cosmetic Surgery, Coimbatore
As we age, the effects of time and gravity can become apparent, especially on our faces. The forehead and brow area are particularly susceptible to sagging, leading to a tired or even angry appearance. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, under the expert guidance of Dr. Sivakumar, we offer forehead lift procedures to help rejuvenate your appearance and restore a more youthful and refreshed look.
Overview
A forehead lift, also known as a brow lift, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the eyebrows and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the forehead. This procedure can address sagging brows that contribute to a tired or sad expression, as well as deep forehead creases.
Objectives
The primary objectives of a forehead lift include:
- Elevating sagging eyebrows to a more youthful position.
- Reducing horizontal forehead wrinkles and frown lines between the eyebrows.
- Improving the overall appearance of the upper face, creating a more alert and rejuvenated look.

Our goal is to provide you with a safe and effective forehead lift procedure that meets your individual needs and aesthetic goals. Dr. Sivakumar and our team are committed to delivering exceptional results with personalized care.
Equipment
The equipment used during a forehead lift procedure may vary depending on the specific technique employed. However, common equipment includes:
- Endoscope (for endoscopic brow lift)
- Surgical instruments for dissection and tissue manipulation
- Sutures or surgical staples for wound closure

Technique or Treatment
Several techniques can be used for a forehead lift, and the best approach depends on your individual anatomy and desired results. The most common techniques include:
- Open Brow Lift (Coronal Brow Lift): This involves a single long incision that is made behind the hairline going from ear to ear.
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Minimally invasive technique using small incisions and an endoscope (a thin tube with a camera) to lift and reposition the brow tissues.
- Limited Incision Technique: Shorter incisions are made at the temples and behind the hairline.
- Thread Lift: This non-surgical procedure uses threads to lift and tighten the skin.
Anesthesia
Forehead lift procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation with local anesthesia. The choice of anesthesia will be discussed with you during your consultation, taking into account your preferences and the complexity of the procedure.
