Endoscopic Forehead Streching And Temporal Lifting Operation
HOW FOREHEAD GETS OLDER?
Forehead and eyebrows droop down and fall onto the eyes. The forehead that drooped down gives a more tired, a more upset and an angrier impression. The corruption of the position of the eyebrows emphasizes this expression. Another problem which is created by the forehead that drooped down is to push down the upper eyelids. At lots of people the eyelids seem worse than they are because they are crushed and wrinkled under the drooped forehead.

WHAT IS DONE IN THE OPERATION
The forehead stretching surgery fixes the wrinkles of the forehead and the fall of the eyebrows, it fixes the wrinkles at the eye sides which are called cheno podium and it lifts up the cheeks a little bit. The forehead stretching includes the both temple region and the whole forehead. If just the temple region is lifted up and the middle of the eyebrows is not touched this is called temporal lifting.

WHOM THIS OPERATION IS APPLIED?
It is hard to define a certain age. If the forehead is wrinkled and the eyebrows drooped down onto the eyes, everybody can benefit from this surgery. This operation is seldom performed by itself. It is performed mostly with face rejuvenation upper eyelids surgery. The reason for that is that the forehead stretching operation creates an effect of rejuvenation but an effect of refreshing on the face.

TIPS
If you are at the age of 30s and if you want to remove the expression of being tired and the wrinkles on your face and enlighten your expression a little bit by a small and non-risky operation, I recommend you the temporal lifting operation. This operation also protects you against aging.
If you are more than 50 and there are symptoms of aging all around your face, just forehead stretching or temporal lifting operation may not be sufficient. For the lower face region, consider the endoscopic or classical face stretching operations. I recommend you to undergo the operation of classical face stretching with this operation together.
Those are the operations which are very easy and which recovery period is brief.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SURGERY?
These surgeries can be performed very fast, have very less puffiness and lividness rate and recovery period is very short. You can be back at work in two days plus the weekend. It is not a painful surgery. In the first days, you will lie with a upright head and you will apply plenty of ice.
