The Process of Forehead Lift Surgery for Middle-Aged Men

Endoscopic forehead lift is a procedure that lifts the forehead and eyebrows through small incisions inside the scalp, and it has the advantages of excellent results and quick recovery.

In the case of middle-aged women, when there is drooping of the eyelids, upper blepharoplasty (middle-aged double eyelid surgery) can sometimes change the image, so it is often performed when a natural change is desired.

However, for men, forehead lift is often performed not only to improve eyelid drooping but also to address deep forehead wrinkles.

A man in his late 50s visited the clinic because his upper eyelids were drooping and causing discomfort, and because he frequently used facial expressions, the wrinkles on his forehead had also become much deeper.

Even when there is no clear ptosis or eyelid drooping while opening the eyes, some people use their facial expressions a lot, and in such cases the forehead wrinkles often become deeper.

In such cases, a simple method is often to get Botox injections in the forehead, but if forehead Botox is done incorrectly, the forehead wrinkles may disappear, yet it can make opening the eyes uncomfortable or cause the eyebrows to droop, creating an appearance as if the brows are pressing down on the eyes, so caution is needed.

'Endoscopic forehead lift surgery for middle-aged men'

Middle-aged men's forehead lift surgery is performed through five small incisions, each about 1.5 cm long, inside the scalp.

In the past, forehead lift was performed through a long incision called a coronal incision, but with the development of endoscopic surgery, endoscopic forehead lift is now being actively performed.

Using a high-definition surgical endoscope (HD endoscopy), the periosteum and retaining ligaments of the forehead must be carefully dissected, and blood vessels or nerves must not be damaged during surgery for recovery to be quick and for no postoperative side effects to occur.

In addition, several expression muscles in the glabellar area need to be partially resected so that the effects of the forehead lift last longer and wrinkles after surgery can also be reduced.

In the glabellar area, there are muscles that lower the forehead and eyebrows, such as the corrugator supercilii muscle, depressor supercilii muscle, and procerus muscle, so it is important to properly address these muscles in forehead lift.

And in endoscopic forehead lift, the fixation method is also important, and all incision sites must be firmly fixed.

At Garnet Plastic Surgery, we use two Endotine fixation points along with a bone tunneling fixation method in the center of the forehead and a fascia fixation method using the temporal fascia, allowing the forehead and eyebrows to be pulled effectively.

And in the case of middle-aged men, because the skin is thicker and the tissues are heavier than in women, a stronger Endotine fixation pin (3.5 mm) should be used, unlike in women, and it is better to use double fixation for the bone tunneling method as well.
