Plastic Surgery forehead lift Procedure Animation

A browlift or forehead lift is a procedure designed to lift sagging eyebrows and rejuvenate the appearance around the eyes.

Incisions are made in the hairline. This location is chosen because it is a good area to conceal any scars.

A special instrument is inserted through the incisions to carefully lift the skin from the bone. The skin is retraced all the way to the eyebrows.

The skin is then lifted up and permanently tightened using sutures.

Extensive swelling may be present for a week. It may take longer to achieve the final results.

forehead lift - News update:
Meta-analysis of data from controlled trials has found that in postmenopausal women with breast cancer, aromatase-inhibitor treatment is associated with a statistically significant but small increase in risk of cardiovascular events. The authors note that the aromatase inhibitors are more effective than tamoxifen in the treatment of breast cancer; however reports suggest that they may be associated with a higher cardiovascular risk. This analysis aimed to clarify the risk to benefit balance for these drugs. The authors carried out a comprehensive search, mostly using specialist sources, for long-term (five year) randomised controlled trials of aromatase inhibitors against tamoxifen after surgery in women with breast cancer where data on cardiovascular adverse events were reported. From this data, they derived the event risk-ratios and absolute event rates with the two drug groups. Primary outcome was grade 3 and 4 cardiovascular adverse events. The initial search located ten potentially relevant trials of which 7 (n=19,818) were eligible for the analysis. All had been published in full, and three had subsequent updates. On the primary outcome, there was an increased risk of 0.52% in the aromatase inhibitor arm compared to the tamoxifen arm; a risk ratio of 1.31 (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.60; P =0.007). Thromboembolic events were a secondary outcome, and these were less likely than in the tamoxifen arm (RR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.65; P <0.0001). The authors conclude that treatment with aromatase inhibitors is associated with a small increase in risk of cardiovascular adverse events - while this is statistically significant, the number needed to harm is around 160 to 180. It may be balanced by a reduced risk of thromboembolic events. More...
