Is Endotine Fixation Forehead Lifting Different? [Soonplus Director Lim Jong-min]

Unlike before, when people unconditionally preferred a glamorous and three-dimensional appearance,

it seems that these days more and more people prefer a youthful image that looks young and lively.

At the same time, procedures that are effective for anti-aging or a youthful appearance are also becoming more popular.

As people age, they experience changes called aging.

Various signs of aging appear throughout the body, but skin aging in particular is easy to notice because it shows on the surface, giving a person an older impression. Because of this, people consider various lifting procedures to improve or prevent skin aging.

There are many types of lifting procedures. Depending on whether you want to improve overall facial sagging or only a specific area, the method can differ, so consultation with a medical professional may be necessary.

If skin laxity and sagging occur around the upper face and improvement is desired,

an Endotine forehead lift may be recommended.

A forehead lift helps improve overall wrinkles in the upper face, such as forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, bridge-of-the-nose wrinkles, and crow’s feet, by lifting the forehead skin.

If the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow, it can create a natural distance and improve eyes that looked harsh.

Even eyes that looked sleepy and heavy due to aging or congenital or external factors, or because of eyelid drooping or puffy upper eyelids, can be improved by pulling up the forehead skin, helping thick and sagging eyelids become firmer and creating a clearer, more defined eye shape.

However, during a forehead lift, it is not simply a matter of pulling the forehead upward.

By carefully removing and repositioning the muscles and structures that cause the forehead and eyebrows to sag, and by excising the muscles that create wrinkles and make the eyebrows droop, the eyebrows can rise comfortably and the distance between the eyes and eyebrows can be precisely adjusted, allowing for long-lasting and natural results.

Recently, endoscopic equipment has been used in forehead lifts.

Using endoscopic equipment allows for a sufficient field of view, enabling delicate dissection and precise correction.

In addition, it preserves the patient’s nerves and blood vessels to increase safety, and through customized angle adjustment with endoscopic equipment, it helps improve eyebrow correction, eye-shape correction, and wrinkle correction all at once.

An endoscopic forehead lift uses the expertise of a specialist in forehead lifting who considers the hairline and forehead shape to minimize scarring and maintain the lifting effect and impression improvement for a semi-permanent period.

Endotine forehead lift / thread fixation forehead lift

When considering a forehead lift, there is one important factor that should not be overlooked: the fixation method.

The representative methods are Endotine fixation and thread fixation.

At our clinic, we prefer the fixation method using Endotine.

Endotine is a fixed, absorbable tack made of biocompatible material that is naturally absorbed by the body within about 12 months, and over time the foreign-body sensation and the feeling of being able to touch it disappear, allowing for a comfortable recovery period.

When the five pronged needles of the Endotine secure the forehead skin,

the force applied to the skin is evenly distributed, helping prevent complications such as hair loss and maintaining a natural forehead shape for a long time.

The Endotine forehead lift procedure involves making a small incision behind the hairline, appropriately treating the muscles around the eyebrows, pulling the forehead skin upward, and then the pronged needles of the Endotine secure the skin.

A forehead lift is not only for wrinkles and skin sagging caused by aging,

but also for people who want to improve eyebrow sagging or eyelid drooping even at a relatively young age,

people whose eyes feel heavy because the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow and who find double-eyelid surgery difficult,

people who are concerned because their upper eyelids are thick and make their eyes look heavy,

and people who do not prefer double-eyelid surgery and want a naturally refreshed eye shape.

If you have these concerns,

we recommend receiving a detailed consultation about a forehead lift.

Through a detailed and professional consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who focuses on lifting procedures, you can receive an assessment of the procedure items needed for you.
