Hello, We’re Dr. Soo and Director Son from Flexible Doctors. Today, we are going to discuss the forehead lift and the corrugator supercilii muscle with Dr. Soo, a specialist in facelifts. Doctor, a forehead lift is a surgical procedure that pulls the forehead, right? But when you do a forehead lift,

you say you use an endoscope. What does that mean? We used to have to make an incision before operating on the area, but recently, we’ve been able to make a small incision and easily use an endoscope. That’s why endoscopic forehead lifts have become more popular. So, what are the advantages of an endoscopic forehead lift?

As the endoscope enters through a small hole, the muscle called the corrugator supercilii muscle can be accurately removed. The length of the actual incision is short, so there are certainly many advantages in terms of scarring when compared to conventional surgery. Incisions are usually made in five places. Three of them are used for tools such as an endoscope or electric scissors.

The two places on the temporal side are separated. It is advantageous to approach from that side because the detachment must be performed in that area to minimize nerve damage. What is the corrugator supercilii muscle you mentioned earlier? The corrugator supercilii muscle is one of the three muscles involved in the formation of glabellar lines.

It is an important muscle in the formation of glabellar wrinkles, and it can be accurately cut and removed during an endoscopic forehead lift. So, you’re saying that nerve damage can be minimized by performing an endoscopic forehead lift instead of doing a conventional incision and exfoliation, right?

Yes. Now, if the corrugator supercilii muscle is detached while using an endoscope, nerve damage can be minimized because the surgery an be performed while looking at the nerves around it. Even though nerve damage is minimized, the feeling in the forehead will slightly decrease due to the incisions, but it will return quickly.

Will the corrugator supercilii muscle completely cease to function when incised? The corrugator supercilii muscle will lose a lot of function, but it continues to be dominated by nerves, so it can sometimes reattach and slightly regain its function. However, although the existing force is often weakened, there are rare cases of complete recurrence. If this occurs,

further surgery is considered such as operating on glabellar nerve block or performing a forehead lift. Then, depending on the condition, it may still continue to function, right, doctor? Yes, there are rare cases where that happens. Oh, I see. Doctor, thank you for your useful explanations.

Today, we learned about forehead lifts and the corrugator supercilii muscle. This has been Flexible Doctors.
