Major complications of a forehead lift are unusual. The most common risks from the procedure are as follows:
- Headaches for a day or two after surgery. This complication is much more common with a classic forehead lift than with endoscopic...
surgery. - Mild pain around the incision for a few days after surgery.
- Numbness or itching sensations on the top of the scalp. These may last for as long as six months after surgery.
- Mild bruising or swelling around the eyelids and cheeks.
- Hair loss or thinning in the area of the incision. The hair will usually regrow within a few weeks or months.
- A feeling of numbness or dryness in the eye.
- Loss of function of the eyelid. This complication is corrected by another operation.
- Bleeding or infection. These are rare complications with forehead lifts.

Other Information
A forehead lift, also known as a browlift or browplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to elevate a drooping eyebrow that may obstruct vision and/or to remove the deep “worry” lines that run across the forehead and may portray to others anger, sternness, hostility, fatigue or other unintended emotions.
