Hello, this is Dr. Kim Jun-hyun, Director of Midline Plastic Surgery.
There are methods that can address drooping eyelids:
- Endoscopic forehead lift
- Brow lift
- Upper blepharoplasty
As people differ in appearance, the condition of the eyelids also varies from person to person.
That is why only one of the above three surgeries cannot always be the correct answer.
If only one option were the right answer, there would be no reason for the other two surgeries to exist.
From the surgeon’s perspective, some cases may require a combination of [1, 2] or [1, 3],
and some cases may achieve the best result with a combination of [2, 3] or [1, 2, 3].
However, because the needs of each visitor are different,
there are many cases where people undergo surgery as explained, but many cases where they do not.
Some people insist on double eyelids even though forehead lifting would be better for their case,
and some people want both forehead lifting and brow lifting,
but only want one of the two.
This time, a male patient visited the clinic.

His pupil was covered, so he wanted double eyelids.
But the thing is....

He was opening his eyes by using his forehead this much.
If upper blepharoplasty is performed in this state,
in addition to the skin used to create the double eyelid line becoming thicker,
he will naturally use his forehead less,
which eventually results in eyelids that look thick and heavy.ㅠㅠ
Therefore, even if double eyelids are created,
this was a case where reducing the work done by the forehead was the first priority.
If you have been following my previous posts,
you may have already guessed what surgery helps reduce the work done by the forehead. ^^
Yes, it is a forehead lift.
For men, I often recommend and perform a low double-eyelid line (a hidden double eyelid) at the same time as the forehead lift.
For this patient, thanks to the forehead lift, upper blepharoplasty to remove eyelid skin was not necessary.
In other words, the forehead wrinkles were smoothed out through the forehead lift,
and the drooping eyelid skin that would otherwise need to be removed with upper blepharoplasty was also addressed as the eyebrows were lifted.
I created the natural line he wanted with non-incisional natural adhesion.
These are photos taken before surgery and 1.5 months after surgery.

I explain that the final result after a forehead lift appears around 1 to 1.5 months,
and that the result continues to be maintained.
I also compare it with photos taken during the 4-month follow-up visit.

The results from the 1.5-month mark were well maintained even at 4 months.
He was very satisfied with looking more than 10 years younger,
and I was happy as well.
I carefully explain what kind of result the chosen surgery can create,
and I perform surgery with all my effort to achieve the best outcome,
so I would appreciate your trust and visit.
