Hello, this is Luho Plastic Surgery.
When the eyelids feel heavy and the eyes look sleepy,
it is easy to think of upper blepharoplasty as a solution.
However, the eyelids are not always the only issue.
When the brow and forehead tissues descend,
the eyelids may look thicker and firmer,
creating a sleepy-looking appearance.

Differences Between Eye Surgery and a Forehead Lift
Upper blepharoplasty trims excess skin on the upper eyelids
to improve eyes that look heavy or obstructed.
A forehead lift, on the other hand, does not directly alter the eyes.
Instead, it adjusts the descended forehead and eyebrows
to reduce the weight pressing down on the area above the eyes.
For those who want to maintain their existing eye shape
while addressing only the heavy upper facial area,
a forehead lift in Gangnam at Sinsa Station may be an alternative.

Examining the Causes of a Tired-Looking Appearance
✔️ The outer part of the eyebrows is positioned low
✔️ Upper-eyelid skin covers part of the double-eyelid crease
✔️ The eyes feel heavy
Because the outer eyebrows were positioned relatively low,
there was a feeling that the area above the eyes was being gently pressed down.
As the upper facial tissues descended,
the eyes looked obstructed regardless of their actual size.

With a Forehead Lift, the Cause Must Be Assessed First
To decide between eye surgery and a forehead lift,
it is important to accurately diagnose
why the eyes currently look obstructed or heavy.
Luho Plastic Surgery first analyzes the true “cause”
of the heaviness
and focuses on designing the changes that are needed.

A Changed Appearance That Reveals the Original Eye Shape
✔️ The eyebrows are positioned higher, with a more defined arch
✔️ Less upper-eyelid coverage reveals the double-eyelid crease
✔️ The area above the eyes opens up, increasing vertical openness
As the tissues around the forehead and eyebrows moved upward,
the overall appearance of the eyes became more defined.
After the forehead lift, more of the pupils was visible,
and the upper-eyelid lines appeared clearer,
creating a more open and refreshed appearance.

A Forehead Lift Review from Gangnam at Sinsa Station That Addressed the Cause of Heaviness
The ultimate goal of a forehead lift
is not to make the eyes look larger.
The current facial structure should be analyzed,
and the source of the obstructed or heavy appearance
should be identified before a customized plan is developed.
Our clinic performs forehead lifts
with the aim of restoring balance among the forehead,
eyebrows, and eyes.
