When we look at the middle part of the face, the cheeks and cheekbones, which are prominent on the young face, become flat and even hollow as a result of both the decrease in the amount of fat on the cheeks with age and the sagging of these fat pads together with the facial muscles and skin that carry the skin. The folds starting from both sides of the nose and going down from around the mouth deepen. Cracks form all around the mouth, perpendicular to the lips and sagging towards the chin.
Forehead and eyebrows are the first signs of aging on the face. Dark circles on the eyes start in the 20s, then the lower eyelid and eyebrows start to droop, with the frequency of use of facial expressions, lines on the outside of the eye that we call “crow’s feet” are formed, and vertical lines appear on the forehead and between the eyebrows. The phenomenon is accompanied by accumulation and sagging of the fat pads, mostly in the lower lid, and an aged face is formed.
Although there are many different techniques in the forehead lift operation, it is usually cut from the inside of the scalp to prevent scars from being visible. Now, with technological developments, incisions are shorter. It is usually added during midface lift surgery. The details are explained together with the eyebrow lift. (See frowning eyebrows.)
