Many people feel physically and mentally vigorous and active long after their appearance has begun to deteriorate due to aging. A forehead lift procedure is designed to give you a rejuvenated appearance. The degree of improvement achieved depends on several factors including the severity of the initial deformity or the age of the patient.

As aging progresses, your skin starts to wrinkle and loses the tone in the forehead area which causes sagging of the brow resulting in a tired or sad look and aggravating the appearance of excess skin in the upper eyelids. Deep frown lines and wrinkles can also form changing the appearance of the forehead region. The forehead lift surgery is designed to improve these deformities caused by age and heredity.

A fore head lift may be beneficial whenever you have too much sagging of the brow or forehead. In a younger patient with minimal sagging, the degree of improvement will be subtle, but frequently the result is extremely satisfying to the patient caring about personal appearance.

The time to consider a facelift and is when the aging process becomes noticeable and starts to bother you. The average age of patients electing to have a facelift is typically in their forties and fifties. Facelift surgery does not “stop the clock” but can turn back the hands.

After facial rejuvenation surgery, most patients look seven to ten or more years younger. The aging process continues, but you will always look several years younger than you would have without surgery. The better you take care of yourself, the longer the results will last. Some patients are so pleased with the results that they will have the surgery repeated years down the line; others are satisfied with one procedure their entire life.

How long will the results last?

“Patients generally enjoy long-lasting results. The aging process continues, but you will always look several years younger than you would have without the surgery. The better you take care of yourself, the longer the results will last. You’re lifestyle decisions, skin type, hereditary factors and sun exposure all play vital roles in the aging process. Some patients are so pleased with the results that they will have the surgery repeated; others are satisfied with one procedure their whole life.” -Dr. Hoefflin, Board Certified in Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles

Blepharoplasty – Houston, Texas

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty creates an open, larger, brighter appearing eye. By removing excess loose skin and fatty tissue which produce bags of the upper or lower lid, the eye appears larger, less tired, more open and brighter.

In women, excess loose tissue prevents optimal use of makeup and obscures the normal contours of the eyelid. In both women and men, loose, sagging, bulging tissues make the eye appear smaller and more tired or stressed.

The goal of eyelid surgery is to produce a significant improvement in eyelid appearance with the utmost safety.

Risks
Risks of injury to the eye, infection or bleeding which could impair vision are extremely small, but do exist and must be considered.

Other risks common to all surgical procedures such as bleeding, infection and scar tissue formation occur in a very small percentage of cases. We will give you more detailed information about these and other rare risks in our written information, and encourage you to discuss any which concern you during your consultation.
