What Are the Effects and Procedure of a Forehead Lift, and Who Needs It?

As we age, one of the first changes that becomes noticeable is forehead wrinkles and a sagging eye area.

When the eyelids droop heavily, you may look tired or have a stronger-looking impression.

One way to improve this is a forehead lift.

Today, let’s take a look at the forehead lift performed at Sunplus Plastic Surgery.

What is a forehead lift?

A forehead lift is a surgery that pulls upward the overall sagging of the forehead, eyebrows, and even the eyelids.

Rather than simply smoothing wrinkles, it fundamentally lifts sagging tissues to create brighter, more defined eyes and a softer impression.

It is easy to confuse with an eyebrow lift, but a forehead lift differs in that

it lifts the entire forehead, allowing for a broader lifting effect.

What is different about Sunplus’ forehead lift?

A customized forehead lift is performed by comprehensively considering each person’s forehead and eyebrow structure, skin elasticity, and the depth of wrinkles.

Various details about the forehead lift

The surgery takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and anesthesia is performed with sleep sedation.

Stitch removal is done about 7 days after surgery.

The recovery period for bruising and swelling is usually about 1 to 2 weeks on average, but

the recovery period may vary depending on the patient’s skin condition, physical condition, and other factors.

In addition, various recovery care systems are operated to help with a faster recovery.

A forehead lift is recommended for people such as the following.

Those with deep forehead wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity

Those whose eyelids sag so that the double eyelids are hard to see or look heavy

Those who are often told that they look tired

Those who have difficulty achieving results with non-surgical lifting

Those who want a natural and clearer eye area improvement without eye surgery

Those whose distance between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow, making eye surgery difficult

It can be recommended for people like the above, but the diagnosis may vary depending on the patient’s eye condition,

so for an accurate diagnosis, you can receive detailed guidance through an in-person consultation.

Frequently asked questions from patients about forehead lifts

Q. Will the scar from a forehead lift be noticeable?

A. The incision is made with a minimal cut inside the scalp, so it is naturally covered by the hair and gradually becomes less noticeable over time.

Q. Is a forehead lift possible even if you are young?

A. If the goal is to improve the eye area, it is possible in your 20s as well.

However, it is important to consult with medical staff, as the decision should be made after carefully examining skin elasticity and structure.

Q. What is the difference from thread lifting?

A. Thread lifting can provide limited results for a limited period,

whereas a forehead lift involves fundamental tissue lifting, so the maintenance period lasts longer.
