Forehead Lift
Your Specialists for Forehead Lifting
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, leading to the formation of fine wrinkles and lines on the forehead. Over time, these deepen and can significantly impact both our well-being and appearance.
Deep horizontal forehead wrinkles and sagging eyebrows can make our face appear tired or stern – even when we feel alert and balanced. A targeted forehead lift can tighten the skin on the forehead, lift the eyebrows, and create a more open expression overall.
At clinic utoquai, we perform forehead lifts with great precision and use the latest techniques. The goal is always a fresher appearance that maintains and rejuvenates your natural expressions – without an artificial effect.
Benefits of forehead lifting
A forehead lift comes with numerous benefits. The results are long-lasting, natural, and individually tailored.
- Eyebrow lifting for a more open look:
Low-positioned brows are repositioned, resulting in a fresher and friendlier appearance. - Smoothing forehead wrinkles:
Horizontal lines are reduced or eliminated—for a relaxed expression. - Correcting frown lines (glabellar lines):
Deep wrinkles between the eyebrows can be significantly softened by relaxing the muscles. - Restoring facial proportions:
The upper third of the face is harmoniously balanced. - Long-lasting results:
Typically, the results last for many years.

The Forehead Lift Procedure
Consultation
During a personal consultation, we discuss your aesthetic goals and analyze your facial expressions as well as the structure of your forehead. Together, we determine which forehead lifting technique is the best option for you. We provide detailed information about the procedure and potential risks and take plenty of time to answer your questions.
Preparation
We advise our patients to refrain from smoking and taking blood-thinning medications about 2 weeks prior to the procedure. This helps support the healing process later on.
Treatment
The forehead lift is usually performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia and takes about 1–2 hours. Depending on the technique, the incision is made either along the hairline (open method) or via small openings in the endoscopic variant. The forehead skin is detached, repositioned, and excess tissue is either removed or fixed in place.
Post-Treatment Care
After the surgery, temporary hair thinning or minor hair loss may occur around the scar area. This usually returns to normal within 4–6 months. Stitches are removed after one week. Most patients are able to return to work depending on their occupation within 1–2 weeks. Avoid sports and sun exposure for at least 4 weeks.
