About the clinic
A forehead lift at the clinic of Dr. Rubem Lang in Porto Alegre, Brazil, helps patients correct drooping eyebrows and deep forehead wrinkles.

This surgery is carried out at Blanc Hospital, which features 24/7 ICU support and modern infrastructure for elective procedures.
The Forehead Lift Procedure
Also known as a frontoplasty or coronal rhytidectomy, this surgery repositions the upper face. It removes excess upper eyelid skin and smooths vertical frown lines between the eyes. Dr. Rubem Lang chooses a specific technique based on your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. The clinic uses modern technologies like Morpheus and Ignite Radiofrequency to help with tissue retraction during the process.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours. A special helmet bandage is applied after the operation but is removed the very next day. Dr. Rubem Lang typically removes the sutures 7 to 10 days after the procedure.
Preparation and Recovery
Patients must follow specific steps to prepare for a safe surgery. You must fast for 8 hours before the procedure and avoid alcohol or cigarettes for at least 10 days before your appointment. It is also necessary to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications during this time.
Recovery requires following a detailed protocol for the best results:
- Use cold compresses with water or chamomile tea for the first 3 days.
- Avoid makeup for 7 days and hair dye for 3 weeks.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated to manage swelling.
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 30 days.
- Wait 15 days before resuming strenuous physical activities.
