Will the forehead become wider after forehead lift surgery? How is it fixed?

You may think forehead lift surgery is simply a procedure for improving forehead wrinkles.

However, the main purpose of forehead lift surgery is of course to correct forehead wrinkles,

but it is also a procedure that can help improve a cramped-looking eye shape, sleepy-looking eyes, and drooping eyelids.

Forehead lift surgery can be recommended for people who have double eyelids, but whose eyebrows and eyelids have drooped, making their eyes look congested,

and especially for those worried about drooping eyelids that have weakened with age and cover the double-eyelid line.

Because forehead lift surgery involves dissection up to just above the eyebrows through endoscopic equipment,

it must be performed in a more precise and delicate way for a natural result and long-lasting effect. If you are considering forehead lift surgery, it is important to choose medical staff with specialized equipment,

rich experience, and know-how.

Forehead lift surgery is not simply about pulling up a sagging forehead. It involves carefully removing and repositioning the muscles and structures that cause the forehead and eyebrows to sag,

and excising the muscles that create wrinkles or pull the eyebrows down so that the eyebrows rise naturally

and the distance from the eyes can be adjusted precisely.

Only then can you improve not only the aesthetic effect but also functional satisfaction,

and expect effects such as wrinkle prevention and a clearer expression.

If the forehead becomes wider after forehead lift surgery, do you need forehead reduction surgery? People with a somewhat broad forehead may worry about forehead lift surgery.

Of course, the forehead width cannot be reduced. To reduce the forehead, you need forehead reduction surgery.

If you do not want forehead reduction surgery but do want forehead lift surgery, using Endotine can minimize the forehead becoming wider.

Suture fixation / Endotine fixation choice? At our clinic, Endotine fixation is used 99% of the time. Endotine is often recommended, but since it is an expensive material, we sometimes perform suture fixation for those who prefer it depending on the situation.

We recommend deciding between suture fixation and Endotine fixation after thorough consultation following a visit.

How long does forehead lift surgery last? The average duration of forehead lift surgery can be 5 to 10 years. However, this does not mean you return to your pre-surgery state after that period; rather, your starting point changes. The skin lifted through forehead lift surgery will gradually come down a little over 10 years. If you had not had forehead lift surgery, it would be considered to have sagged even further from the pre-lift state.

Endotine material can be used in forehead lift surgery. Endotine is a medical material designed to lift skin tissue and is a safe, proven medical material approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the U.S. FDA. In addition, by using endoscopic equipment, the procedure is performed in a more delicate and detailed manner,

and sufficient visibility through endoscopy minimizes incisions.

Some people worry about a foreign-body sensation after forehead lift surgery using Endotine. Endotine is made of a biocompatible material that is absorbed by the body after 6 months to 1 year, so after forehead lift surgery, the foreign-body sensation and palpability gradually disappear,

allowing for natural forehead shape and hairline results.

Even if you are not very old, if your eye area feels cramped and sleepy, or if the distance between your eyes and eyebrows is narrow and the balance of your face is not satisfying, or if aging has caused your eyebrows to droop, your eyelids to sag, or your forehead wrinkles to deepen, we recommend getting a consultation for forehead lift surgery.
