Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Today, I’d like to talk about forehead lifts, which many people find confusing. When the eyelids sag or wrinkles around the eyes become deeper, people usually think first of double eyelid surgery or an eyebrow lift. But in fact, the root cause of these issues is very often sagging in the forehead and glabellar muscles. Let’s take a look at whether you should consider the cost of a forehead lift.
Is a forehead lift necessary?
As we age, the forehead muscles weaken and the glabellar muscles become overly developed, causing the eyebrows to gradually droop. As a result, the eyelids look saggy and wrinkles around the eyes become deeper. This can make the face look tired or strained. At times like this, double eyelid surgery that simply removes eyelid skin can actually make the problem worse. That is because the eyebrows droop even more, creating an overall heavy and compressed look in the forehead.
Should you consider the cost of a forehead lift?
A forehead lift refers to a surgery that pulls the forehead and eyebrows upward. The key is not simply to smooth out wrinkles, but to raise the position of the eyebrows and forehead themselves to restore balance to the upper face. What effects can you expect when you consider the cost of a forehead lift?
📌 Lifting sagging eyebrows and the forehead
📌 Smoothing glabellar lines
📌 Improving wrinkles around the eyes
📌 Creating a less strained appearance
📌 Making the face look clearer and younger
For example, when you look at actors such as Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, their eyebrows and eyes had more distance between them when they were younger, and there were almost no wrinkles. But as people age and the glabellar muscles become more developed and the forehead drops, wrinkles around the eyes deepen and the expression can look stronger. In cases like this, lifting the muscles and skin together with a forehead lift can naturally restore facial expression and create a much softer, younger-looking appearance. Because of these effects, more patients are choosing to spend money on a forehead lift.
Who needs a forehead lift?
A forehead lift is effective for people whose eyebrows are gradually drooping and whose eyelids feel heavily compressed, or for those whose eyebrows sit too close to the eyes and create a cramped appearance. It is also recommended for people with deep glabellar lines, increasing wrinkles around the eyes, or for those whose eyes still look strained or saggy even after double eyelid surgery.
A forehead lift is not simply a wrinkle-smoothing procedure; it is a lifting surgery that corrects the structure of the upper face and helps restore a younger appearance. If your eyes also look saggy and double eyelid surgery did not solve the problem, it may be a case that requires a forehead lift. Before deciding on the cost of a forehead lift, we recommend that you consult a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.
