When to have a forehead elevator?

Many people report to MOOI Clinic for an eye elevator, or eyelid surgery. Aging skin causes excess skin around the eyes, eyebrows also sag and forehead wrinkles develop. This causes eye symptoms such as extra pressure and fatigue. In addition, a low position of the eyebrows can make it appear that you are tired, angry or gloomy. It can also cause extra pressure on your eyes and eyelids.

Filling forehead wrinkles with a filler

Forehead wrinkles can be filled using a filler, but low-hanging eyebrows usually won’t solve this. In addition, a filler always has a temporary effect, lasting from 8 to 12 months. To treat the low position of the eyebrow can be done in two ways: a direct brow elevator (corrects only the position of the eyebrows) or a forehead elevator (corrects both the position of the eyebrows and forehead wrinkles. To correct forehead wrinkles and low-hanging eyebrows, an open forehead elevator may be a solution.

When to have a brow elevator?

Both a brow elevator and a forehead elevator focus on lifting the eyebrows, but there are differences.

Combination with chemical peel

After a forehead elevator, certain wrinkles are greatly reduced or removed. However, this does not mean that your skin is in good condition. For example, if you have smoked a lot or had sun damage, you can use a chemical peel to renew your skin. At MOOI Clinic, you can go for the deep chemical peels that penetrate into the lower layers of skin (called the dermis or dermis). MOOI Clinic’s chemical peels contain not only trichloroacetic acid but also the substance phenol, which means the treatment should only be performed by a doctor. Ask about these treatments during a consultation.

The consultation from A to Z

You come to MOOI Clinic in Maastricht to discuss your forehead elevator. During the consultation, you will speak with the plastic surgeon who specializes in facelifts. From general information about the before and after care, to the details such as where the incisions (neatly in the hairline). In all cases, we provide a barely noticeable scar. Whether a forehead elevator is also a solution to your problem will be discussed with the plastic surgeon.

After the consultation, you will be up to date on everything regarding your future forehead elevator: from our honest advice on the expected result, risks, recovery and exact costs. On the day of the consultation, we also take photos for your records.

An initial consultation involves a €50 consultation fee, which will be deducted from the treatment price.

The forehead elevator

A forehead elevator takes place under general anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing. The area to be operated on is first marked off and then disinfected and anesthetized. Depending on the technique chosen, special instruments are used to loosen the skin from the forehead to the eyebrows and slide it upward. Tightening the bony membrane raises the eyebrows to the proper height.

Aftercare and recovery

Usually you can go home the same day. A tulle bandage is applied; this stops swelling. Sometimes you will keep a thin drain after surgery to stop the accumulation of wound fluid and blood. That takes one to two days. Cooling goggles counteract any swollen eyelids.

For the first two weeks after surgery, the face is still swollen and blue. Taking it easy and cooling regularly is the motto. The swelling disappears after one to two weeks. Sutures are removed after two weeks; if screws are placed, they are removed after 3 weeks. Scars in the hairy scalp become lighter and lighter in color. You can already see results fairly immediately.

The scars are invisible at first glance. Even during your recovery and healing. They fall right into the hairline and the natural folds of your skin.

This way you are always well prepared. You will only receive messages that are relevant to you, before, during and after the treatment.

Risks

As with any surgery, there is a chance of bleeding, infection or impaired wound healing with a forehead elevator. In the vast majority of situations, this is not serious and is easily remedied. There is a small chance of injury to the facial nerve. This happens rarely and is usually transient in these rare cases. Read more about the possible risks and complications of plastic surgery here.

QUIT SMOKING

We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum. Smoking not only makes you less MOOI on the outside, but also on the inside. If you smoke, you have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, skin shedding or respiratory problems with general anesthesia.
