Brow and forehead lift

It’s important to remember that any procedure involving a break in the skin’s surface carries the potential for side effects such as bruising, hematomas, redness, or itching. If any of these symptoms become severe or concerning, don’t hesitate to contact the Clinic — we’re here to help and support you throughout your recovery.

Contraindications for the procedure may include significant obesity, anemia, and any inflammatory conditions in the body, particularly those affecting the facial area. Acute infections, bleeding disorders such as hemorrhagic diathesis or thrombophilia, and the use of anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications—such as Xarelto, Pradaxa, Eliquis, acenocoumarol, warfarin (e.g. Sintrom, Warfin), or acetylsalicylic acid derivatives (Aspirin, Polocard, Acard)—can also prevent the procedure from being safely performed. Other factors include smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, poorly managed high blood pressure, flare-ups of chronic illnesses, and active cancer or suspected malignancy. Relative contraindications include the presence of an implanted pacemaker or cardioverter/defibrillator, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the use of heparin or its derivatives (e.g. Fragmin, Clexane, Fraxiparine, Neoparin). It is essential to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or medications that may affect your suitability for the procedure.

Yes, depending on your individual needs and the severity of your concerns, there are several alternatives to a surgical brow and forehead lift. Non-surgical options may include botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to relax forehead muscles and subtly lift the brows, dermal fillers to restore volume, or thread lifting for a temporary lifting effect. However, these methods typically offer less dramatic and shorter-lasting results compared to surgery. Your specialist will help determine the most appropriate treatment based on your goals and medical condition.
