Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.
Today, we will take a look at endoscopic forehead lift surgery.

There is information suggesting that endoscopic forehead lift surgery is somewhat riskier and has more side effects than traditional forehead lift surgery.
Opinions may differ from doctor to doctor,
but rather than calling it dangerous, I think it is more accurate to say that the surgery is more technically demanding.
In fact, one reason endoscopic forehead lift surgery is not as easy as people may think is that
the forehead and hairline area where the surgery is performed contains many nerve tissues and many blood vessels.
If they are accidentally affected during surgery,
it can have a major impact on the nerve tissue and may even lead to complications,
so please keep in mind that this is by no means a simple procedure.

The cases in which endoscopic forehead lift surgery is recommended are:
when the space between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow, when there are deep wrinkles on the forehead or between the eyebrows,
when the forehead itself is narrow, and when the eyelid skin is sagging.
An implant called 'Endotine' is used for forehead lifting, and the advantage of this implant is that
it has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so it is safe.
The surgical method involves making a small hole in the forehead bone and inserting the Endotine there,
then hooking the forehead tissue onto the protrusions on the Endotine to fix and lift it.
In addition, it tends to cause less swelling and allows for faster recovery,
so it can be said to have various advantages.

When an endoscope is used in surgery, the procedure can be performed more delicately.
In particular, the endoscope plays a major role in corrugator muscle resection.
Simply put, the corrugator muscle is the muscle used when lowering the eyebrows.
When the corrugator muscle is resected, the sagging eyebrows move upward toward the forehead,
so the eyebrows end up positioned higher.
While viewing the incised area with a Full HD endoscope,
corrugator muscle resection must be performed to avoid damaging nerve tissue, which is why
the endoscope is extremely important.
If you are considering corrugator muscle resection, you should think of an endoscopic forehead lift as essential.

To give the conclusion first: no, it does not.
To define it clearly, the accurate statement is that hair loss occurs because the hair follicles are damaged during the procedure.
You may wonder, “Doesn’t making an incision in the skin cause hair loss?” but
if the surgery is performed by an experienced specialist, this can be minimized,
and statistically, the likelihood is very low.

Yes, of course you can undergo it.
However, there are things you should definitely think about before proceeding.
If you are in your 20s and the space between your eyes and eyebrows is too narrow, endoscopic forehead lift surgery may have good results,
but on the other hand, if the space between your eyes and eyebrows is wide, it is not recommended.
That is because the space between the eyes and eyebrows would become even wider.
You may wonder whether the results will last as long as they do for middle-aged patients if you have the surgery in your 20s.
To answer first, the results are more likely to last for a shorter period than they do for middle-aged patients.
The reason is that when middle-aged patients undergo endoscopic forehead lift surgery,
their eye skin is often sagging due to wrinkles, or the space between the eyes and eyebrows has become narrower than when they were younger,
so when that is corrected, it returns to the time before wrinkles developed, which lasts much longer.
In contrast, for people in their 20s with good skin elasticity, if the tissue is pulled upward artificially,
the skin tries to return to its original state, so the duration of the effect
may be much shorter.
In summary, endoscopic forehead lift surgery in your 20s is certainly possible,
and people whose space between the eyes and eyebrows is favorable are highly likely to see sufficient results.
Today, we looked at various facts about Endotine forehead lift surgery and endoscopic forehead lift surgery.
Please keep in mind that endoscopic forehead lift surgery is by no means an easy procedure,
and that you should determine whether your condition is suitable for surgery through 충분한 상담 with a doctor before proceeding.
