Forehead lift
What is a forehead lift?
Ageing can cause your eyebrows to sag and the skin of your forehead to droop a little. This can make you look tired or worrying and also affect your field of vision. Dr Alain Fogli was the plastic surgeon who developed the Fogli lift in 2003. In this temporal forehead lift or eyebrow lift under local anaesthetic, the forehead skin is lifted and the eyebrows brought into the desired position. The excess skin is then removed and the underlay anchored with sutures.
