For us, you and your health are the top priority. By always conducting a consultation, the doctor gains a good understanding of your conditions to achieve desirable results with a brow lift. We also gain insight into both your current health and any previous health issues. This way, we can tailor the procedure to suit your body and achieve the best possible results.

The consultation lasts about half an hour, and you will have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you want. It is extremely important to us that you feel well-informed and secure before making a decision about undergoing a brow lift. It’s easy to forget your questions once you’re here, so we encourage you to prepare for our meeting by writing down all your questions and concerns.

Together, we will also go through:

• Your wishes, questions, and conditions
• What to consider before the surgery
• How a brow lift/forehead lift is performed
• Differences between traditional and endoscopic brow lifts
• Anesthesia
• How to take care of yourself during the healing process
• Prices
• Scheduling

On the day of your surgery, you will be assigned a room where you will also spend the night at no extra cost. Here, you will change into surgical clothes and meet your surgeon again for a final review of the entire process, giving you a chance to get answers to any new questions that may have arisen. We will then take some photographs to use for comparison at your future follow-up visits. Before the operation, your surgeon will carefully mark the affected area according to your wishes.

The entire operation is performed under anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. Depending on whether you and your surgeon have decided that a traditional or endoscopic brow lift is optimal for you, the operation can vary slightly. Typically, the entire procedure takes about two hours.

• Endoscopic brow lift: This method, performed through so-called keyhole surgery, is the most common and requested technique as it hides scars exceptionally well. The surgeon only needs to make a few centimeter-long incisions hidden in the hairline. We then adjust the skin’s tension, smooth out wrinkles, and reduce strain in the overworked muscles.
• The traditional method: In cases of particularly large amounts of excess skin, it may be necessary to perform the procedure using the traditional method, often referred to as an “open brow lift,” to achieve the goals set by you and your surgeon. Unlike keyhole surgery, longer incisions are made along the hairline. We then tighten the skin and remove the excess skin causing wrinkles and lines.

Afterward, you will rest in the recovery room until the next morning, as the effects of the anesthesia are still significant. It’s a good idea to arrange in advance for a friend or family member to pick you up when you are ready to go home. Before you leave, we ensure you are well taken care of and provide you with plenty of information on how to make the upcoming period as smooth and comfortable as possible.

We provide you with all the tools you need to ensure a swift healing process. Useful tips and instructions on how to best manage your dressings and hygiene are included. Of course, you are always warmly welcome to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Your body now needs to recover, and you should therefore take sick leave for two to three weeks after the surgery. Exercise and other physical activities should also be avoided during this period. After just one week, you will come back to us for your first check-up to ensure that the healing is progressing as planned. Two weeks after that, the stitches will be ready to be removed.
