Preoperative
In order for you to be able to do a front lift safely, we must assess your general condition based on your possible drug and environmental allergies, personal and family pathological history, habitual and past medication, possible previous surgical interventions, toxic habits (tobacco), accidents, etc. .
In case of requiring general anesthesia, it is also necessary to have a general analysis, chest x-ray and electrocardiogram. With this study, the patient is visited by an anesthesiologist who will verify the results, as well as solve any doubts.
At Guadalupe González Clinic we will also take preoperative photographs, which will help us before, during and after the lifting in order to achieve a frontal rejuvenation .
Surgical technique
The forehead lift surgery is performed in an operating room under local anesthesia and sedation. It usually lasts about 1 hour. 30 minutes.
Taking into account the anatomical structures to be modified, an incision is usually made in the hairline or just behind it and the tissue is peeled downwards, beyond the brow line until reaching the upper eyelid. Once all the skin is released, leaving the muscles intact, an upward tightening is performed to position the eyebrows in a higher position, giving a more youthful appearance. In this same surgical act, given that we have access to the muscles responsible for frontal and periorbital mimicry, we can weaken it if necessary to treat expression lines. It is common for this surgery to be combined with others.
POSTOPERATIVE
Normally this surgery is outpatient, staying only a few hours in the clinic. If general anesthesia has been required, you can choose to spend the night in the hospital. In both cases, the patient wears a bandage and an anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medication regimen.
To reduce inflammation and possible bruising, the patient should keep the head elevated and avoid straining.
After the first week, the stitches can be removed but it is advisable to keep a bandage until the inflammation subsides.
The patient should avoid strenuous activities for at least 2 weeks, avoid heat and sun exposure for a few months. Most patients return to work 7-10 days after surgery.
