Emma Stone’s Transformation: Could It Be a Forehead Lift?

Recently, there has been ongoing discussion among overseas communities and plastic surgeons about the possibility that Hollywood actress Emma Stone may have undergone a forehead lift, especially a Brow lift or Forehead lift.

If you compare Emma Stone’s 2023 photos with her 2025 photos, several common changes can be observed.

✔ Change in eyebrow position

• The overall eyebrow position has shifted slightly but clearly upward

• In particular, the lateral brow at the outer corner has risen more

✔ Change in eyebrow shape

• A more fox-like eyebrow line, with the outer side more emphasized than before

• Hard to explain as simply a makeup change

• A continuous and consistent change in shape

✔ Change in the impression of the eyes

• The eyes look more open and bright

• A reduced heavy feeling in the upper eyelids

These changes are difficult to explain as the result of minor cosmetic procedures such as fillers or Botox, which is also why many plastic surgeons estimate that she may have undergone a forehead lift or brow lift.

• Facial aging in White people is actually faster -

In several research papers,

it has been reported that Caucasian skin ages faster than Asian skin.

Because the skin is relatively thinner, has less melanin protection, and is more vulnerable to photoaging, it is known that skin aging progresses faster in White people than in Asians.

Clinically, when viewed by a plastic surgery specialist, facial aging in White people often progresses about 5 to 10 years faster than in Asians.

Therefore, the assumption that Emma Stone, who is in her late 30s, underwent a forehead lift can be considered a perfectly realistic scenario.

• Changes created by a forehead lift -

A forehead lift is not simply a surgery that improves forehead wrinkles.

• Improvement of sagging eyebrows

• Change in the impression of the eyes

• Relief from the heavy feeling of the upper eyelids

• Restoration of a more youthful overall upper-face impression

In particular, the Western-style fox-eye impression, with the outer brows lifted like Emma Stone’s, can be most naturally achieved through a forehead lift.

• What is a PentaFix forehead lift? -

At Garnet Plastic Surgery, we perform the PentaFix forehead lift.

Unlike a standard forehead lift, the PentaFix forehead lift is a surgical method that stably secures the forehead and eyebrows by additionally using bone tunneling fixation and temporal fascia fixation together with Endotine, an absorbable fixation device, at five fixation points.

• A good option for overseas Koreans and those with Western aesthetic preferences -

Recently, among people of Korean descent who have lived abroad for a long time, as well as those accustomed to Western aesthetic standards, there has been a growing preference for a “refined and structured eye shape” rather than a “Korean-style youthful eye appearance.”

In such cases, the position and direction of the eyebrows often differ from the average Korean aesthetic standard.

• The central brow is not lifted excessively

• The outer brow is lifted relatively more

• A structure that emphasizes the direction of the outer corner of the eye

👉 The PentaFix forehead lift uses five fixation points to make it possible to achieve

• Overall lifting

• Selective lifting focused on the outer area

• Minimization of left-right asymmetry

making it a very suitable procedure for Koreans and overseas Koreans with Western aesthetic preferences.

• Why it is also chosen by Western patients -

In fact, Western patients who visit our clinic also care not just about a simple “forehead-lifting surgery,” but about the direction of the eyebrows, the impression of the eyes, and refined elegance without being excessive.

but a case that shows how much lifting the upper face, including the forehead and eyebrows, can affect one’s impression.
