The NYC Facelift Plastic Surgeon offers various Face Lift Techniques.  The approaches are:

Direct Brow Lift
A brow lift surgery is a plastic surgery procedure performed by the NYC Plastic Surgeon that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above the eyes. The procedure corrects drooping brows and improves the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad or tired. During a traditional brow lift (also known as a forehead lift), the NYC Facelift Surgeon  makes an incision around the hairline and then removes excess skin and fat from the forehead. The eyebrows are also slightly repositioned during the brow lift procedure. The incision is then closed and patients are given post-operative instructions.

Mid Forehead Lift
There are several surgical and non-surgical ways to rejuvenate the forehead and bring the eyebrows back into their proper position without that "surprised" look. The Manhattan Face Lift Plastic Surgeon will be able to help you make an educated decision on what procedure for the Mid Forehead Lift would best achieve your desired look.

Although the brow lift can be done as an isolated procedure, it is commonly performed in combination with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Together these procedures help provide a more rejuvenated look to the entire upper face and forehead.

The incision is made in natural horizontal skin creases in the mid forehead above each brow. These incisions made by the NYC Facelift Plastic Surgeon usually heal quickly and are an excellent option especially if the patient has deep forehead creases.

Full Forehead Lift
The Board Certified NYC Facelift Surgeon offers two approaches for the full forehead lift.  If the patient has an average or low hairline, the incision is hidden in the hairline approximately two inches from the forehead. This incision is completely hidden and the entire sagging brow and forehead skin is elevated. For patients with high foreheads, the incision is made by the Manhattan Face Lift Plastic Surgeon at the hair and skin junction. The hair stays exactly in the same position and often an inch of forehead skin is removed. This hides the Full Forehead Lift incision along the hairline and effectively lowers the high forehead.

Endoscopic Brow Lift
With the Endoscopic Brow Lift Surgery technique, the NYC Facelift Plastic Surgery, makes four or five small 1 inch incisions in the scalp. A special instrument and small telescope (an endoscope)are used to elevate the tissues. Since no excess tissue is removed with this approach, the NYC Face Lift Plastic Surgeon anchors the loose tissue with a suture secured to a small screw placed in several locations in the outer skull or through a small bone tunnel made with a tiny drill.

Transblepharoplasty Brow Lift
This newer Facelift Plastic Surgery approach allows the NYC Facelift Plastic Surgeon to elevate the brow through the upper eyelid incision. After removing excess skin from the upper eyelid, the soft tissue along the brow is elevated. An absorbable plate is anchored in the bone and the hooks hold the soft tissue upward.
