Why Forehead Lift and Double Eyelid Surgery Are Performed Together in Younger People

When conducting consultations for eye surgery, it is common to meet people in relatively younger age groups who want to make their double eyelids slightly larger.

Especially, many want a clear and refreshing impression, such as a semi-out line or an out line.

To create these lines, the usual methods are to raise the position of the double eyelid or to partially remove the skin of the upper eyelid.

However, several important problems can arise during this process.

If the double eyelids are forced to become too large

• the impression may look strong

• the upper eyelid area may become thick

• the distance between the eyes and eyebrows may become narrower, creating a glaring impression or a stuffy feeling.

In this way, trying to create a large line with double eyelid surgery alone can actually harm the natural look.

• Combining Forehead Lift and Eye Surgery in Young Women -

In such cases, even if the person is young, considering a forehead lift together can be a good choice.

When a forehead lift is performed at the same time,

• the eyebrows are naturally lifted

• excessive removal of upper eyelid skin is not necessary

• the upper eyelid area becomes thinner and more refined

• a more natural and refreshing double eyelid line can be created

In particular, if the eyebrows drop slightly after double eyelid surgery or ptosis correction, this improves the underlying cause and can help prevent a deep, heavy double eyelid after surgery.

• Postoperative Progress -

Let’s look at the recovery process and progress of an endoscopic forehead lift performed together with incisional double eyelid surgery in a woman in her early 30s.

Even if an endoscopic forehead lift is performed together with double eyelid surgery, there may be concern about the recovery process, but adding the procedure does not make the recovery period longer than expected.

1 week after surgery

After the stitches are removed, a slight amount of swelling and bruising remains. Daily life is possible, but some swelling and awkwardness may still be visible.

1 month after surgery

This is the period when slight scar tissue may form around the double eyelid line. At this stage, the line may appear somewhat thick, or minor multiple folds may occur due to interference from the scar tissue with the double eyelid crease, and the scarred area may feel firm.

2 months after surgery and later

As the scar tissue gradually loosens, the double eyelid line settles in naturally. The overall impression changes to a softer look, and the eye shape is completed in a stable way.

Being a young patient does not mean that simple double eyelid surgery is always the answer.

The larger and clearer the desired eye shape is, the more important it is to consider the overall structure of the eyes and eyebrows together.

A forehead lift is an anti-aging procedure, but it can also be necessary for younger people in some cases.

It can help prevent eyebrow drooping caused by double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction, while keeping the upper eyelid area thin and preventing an overly deep and dark double eyelid.

As a result, it greatly helps create a natural and refined eye shape without an artificial look.
