Brow Lift San Mateo, CA | Frank J. Piro, MD

Understanding Forehead Lift Surgery

Facial rejuvenation cosmetic surgeon Dr. Frank J. Piro performs forehead lift surgery to improve severe wrinkles and sagging eyebrows. This procedure helps patients from San Mateo, Hillsborough, and surrounding Bay Area regions look less worried, more refreshed, and younger.

Why Forehead Lift Surgery?

As individuals age, reduced collagen and elastin production cause skin to lose elasticity. This natural aging process can result in:

• Deep horizontal forehead furrows
• Vertical lines between eyebrows
• Drooping eyebrows that obstruct vision

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Piro offers two primary forehead lift approaches: traditional open and endoscopic techniques. Each method targets underlying muscles and tissues to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Open Approach

In the traditional method, a coronal incision is made inside the hairline, extending across the forehead. Incision placement may vary depending on the patient's hair growth pattern.

Endoscopic Technique

The less invasive endoscopic approach involves three to five small scalp incisions. Using a surgical camera, Dr. Piro can precisely adjust underlying tissues with minimal scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery varies between open and endoscopic techniques. Patients can expect some initial discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Dr. Piro provides personalized post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Ideal Candidates

• Overall positive self-image
• Healthy physical and mental condition
• Realistic aesthetic improvement expectations
• Non-smokers or willing to quit temporarily
