For a conventional forehead lift, an incision (indicated by the dashes above) usually is made across the top of the head, a few inches behind the hairline or sometimes along the hairline. Alternatively, some patients may be candidates for an endoscopic forehead lift, requiring several small incisions (indicated by circles) at or within the hairline. The number of incisions and their placement may vary.
