Forehead Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic Concern: 54-year old man who is interested in enhancing his appearance. He feels his eyes make him look tired.

Diagnosis:

1. Forehead wrinkles.
2. Eyebrow ptosis with hooding of the upper eyelids.
3. Crowsfeet wrinkles.
4. Lower eyelid wrinkles.

Treatment:

1. Endoscopic forehead lift.
2. Lower eyelid chemical peel.

Discussion: It is critical that men not have all of their features removed by cosmetic surgery. Men for the most part benefit from looking just a bit grizzled. In particular, it is important to leave a little skin in the upper eyelid so that the eyes are not feminized.
