Forehead Lift Surgery: Safety and Long-Lasting Effects with an Endoscopic Forehead Lift

Hello :)

We are JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery,

offering results that speak for themselves.

When people hear “forehead lift,” they often think

it is a plastic surgery procedure for older adults,

but endoscopic forehead lift surgery also improves deep forehead wrinkles as well as drooping eyelids,

changing the appearance of the eyes and facial impression,

making it one of the procedures that can be highly effective for people in their 20s and 30s too.

In particular, if you have had double eyelid surgery but the double eyelid line is still hidden by the eyelids,

making your eyes look small and heavy, an endoscopic forehead lift may be the most effective option.

The representative effects of endoscopic forehead lift surgery include:

✔ Improvement of forehead wrinkles

✔ Improvement of sagging eyebrows and eyelids

✔ Improvement of horizontal and vertical glabellar wrinkles

✔ Adjustment of eyebrow shape and balance

✔ Simultaneous correction of the upper eyelids

A forehead lift is not simply a procedure that pulls up sagging skin or muscle.

The principle of endoscopic forehead lift surgery is to resect the muscles and supporting tissues that pull the forehead and eyebrows downward,

then fix them so that the eyebrows and forehead naturally move back into the proper position and remain there for a long time.

JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery Endoscopic Forehead Lift Method

The endoscopic forehead lift method begins by making small incisions at 3 to 4 points along the hairline,

then, using a FULL-HD endoscope, the muscles and supporting tissues are dissected while avoiding nerves and blood vessels.

After lifting the forehead wrinkles and glabellar wrinkles upward,

the procedure is completed by firmly fixing them with Endotine.

Because an endoscope is used, it is safer with respect to nerve damage,

and bleeding can be minimized, allowing for quicker recovery.

Also, because there is almost no visible scar and it is not noticeable, it is a preferred surgical method across all age groups.

Can a Forehead Lift Improve Ptosis?

Dr. Kang Hong-dae, who directly performs the forehead lift procedure at JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery,

and focuses on youthful facial rejuvenation and eye surgery,

personally explained forehead lift surgery and eyelid drooping.

As you can see from the video, pseudoptosis, that is, eyelid drooping, can be sufficiently improved with a forehead lift,

and satisfaction is very high, so many younger patients are also undergoing the procedure.

If you want to improve wrinkles across the entire upper face, including the forehead and glabella,

if the space between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow and the fullness of the upper eyelids gives a heavy impression,

if the eyebrows have dropped, causing the eyelids to sag and covering a significant portion of the pupils,

or if repeated Botox treatments have not resolved forehead wrinkles and you want a definite effect,

you can achieve safe and reliable results with JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery’s endoscopic forehead lift.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift Surgery: How Is Care Managed Before and After Surgery?

Because forehead lift surgery involves incisions on the scalp,

many people feel uneasy about it, but the actual surgery time is relatively short, around 1 hour,

and by using an HD endoscope, nerve and blood vessel damage is minimized,

making it a safe procedure with quick recovery.

Preoperative Precautions for Endoscopic Forehead Lift Surgery

All medications you normally take should be discussed with your attending physician

so that the timing of use can be adjusted.

Health supplements such as red ginseng, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, and vitamins

should also be stopped 1 to 2 weeks before surgery.

If you have high blood pressure, you should consult your doctor

and undergo surgery only after your blood pressure has been normalized.

Alcohol and smoking should be stopped 2 weeks before surgery.

Postoperative Precautions for Endoscopic Forehead Lift Surgery

Endoscopic forehead lift surgery does not usually require hospitalization

and outpatient treatment is possible.

To reduce swelling after surgery, a compression bandage should be worn for about 1 to 2 days,

and after that, a simple mask only needs to be worn while sleeping.

After surgery, you may feel a pulling sensation in the skin and muscles,

and there may be some unnatural movement or similar sensations, but these are temporary

and will naturally recover over time.

Alcohol and smoking should be avoided for about a month,

and it is also best to avoid saunas, hair dyeing, and perms for about a month.

*Plastic surgery may cause side effects such as bleeding or infection depending on the individual.
