The Effect of Forehead Lift Surgery on the Eyes

An endoscopic forehead lift is a surgery that lifts the forehead and temple areas by widely dissecting them. Because it releases the retaining ligaments at the forehead, temples, eyebrows, and outer corners of the eyes, an overall lifting effect can appear in the upper part of the face.

Because a lifting effect occurs by releasing retaining ligaments in multiple areas through an endoscope, sagging skin of the upper eyelids may also improve to some extent.

For this reason, if you previously had upper eyelid surgery or double eyelid surgery, you may choose a forehead lift simply to improve sagging skin.

If asymmetry occurred in previous eye surgery (double eyelid surgery), a forehead lift can improve the asymmetry of sagging skin to some extent.

However, because the heights of the surgically created double eyelids are different, it is important to understand to some extent that a forehead lift alone cannot completely correct eye asymmetry.

Differences in the Pentafix forehead lift

The advantage of the Pentafix forehead lift is that the fixation strength can be adjusted differently at each point, so if there is eyebrow asymmetry, the degree of lifting can be adjusted to some extent.

If the sagging skin on the left and right sides is different, making the fixation strength stronger on the side with more sagging can be very helpful in correcting asymmetry.

At one month after surgery, the asymmetry of the eyebrows and the asymmetry of the sagging skin of the eyelids were greatly improved, and the patient was very satisfied after surgery, but the eye asymmetry was not completely corrected. The reason is the difference in height of the previously performed double eyelid surgery.

Therefore, to correct the height difference of the double eyelids, revision double eyelid surgery is necessary.

Areas improved by the Pentafix forehead lift.

When there are forehead wrinkles and sagging skin, a narrow distance between the eyes and eyebrows, or eyebrow asymmetry, a forehead lift can be a good option.

However, if there are intrinsic eye issues (differences in double eyelid height, combined ptosis), a forehead lift alone cannot produce complete results, so additional eye surgery may be necessary.
