Your surgeon will carefully explain and describe the surgical approach to achieve your cosmetic goals: attaining a natural and relaxed look following your surgery.

Your hair will be gently parted with elastic bands at the site of the incisions. In this way no hair is cut or lost. As a leading Toronto forehead lift surgeon, Dr. Lista has developed an advanced technique where four or five short scalp incisions, each less than an inch in length are placed within the hair. An endoscope, which is a pencil-like camera device connected to a television monitor, is inserted through one of the incisions, allowing your surgeon to have a clear view of the muscles and tissues beneath the skin. Using another instrument inserted through a different incision, the forehead skin is lifted and the muscles and underlying tissues are removed or altered to produce a smoother appearance. Working through tiny incisions, the skin of the forehead is carefully lifted so that the underlying tissue can be adjusted and the muscles of the forehead can be altered or released. The eyebrows may also be lifted and secured into their higher position by absorbable fixation devices placed behind the hairline. When the lift is complete, the scalp incisions will be closed with stitches and clips and the area will be washed. The incision is then closed with stitches and clips. Your face and hair will be washed to prevent irritation and the rubber bands will be removed from your hair.
