AB Plastic Surgery Endoscopic Forehead Lift: Key to Improving Eye Appearance Before and After Changes!

Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

Among middle-aged patients, many say, "Double eyelid surgery feels burdensome, but I want my eyes to look clearer."

This is especially true for those whose eyelids have sagged, covering the double eyelid line, or who have developed the habit of using their forehead muscles every time they open their eyes.

In such cases, a more fundamental solution such as a forehead lift may be needed rather than a simple double eyelid surgery.

Today, based on what I recently presented at the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery,

I would like to introduce in detail how an "endoscopic forehead lift" can help improve eye appearance, along with before-and-after results.

Q. Is it difficult to improve sagging around the eyes with double eyelid surgery alone?

When people with the characteristics described above come to a plastic surgery clinic to "look prettier," their main concerns are usually things like "My eyes are small" or "My eyelids are heavy, so it takes effort to open my eyes." Because of this, many people usually come thinking that the problem can be solved with "double eyelid surgery" alone.

However, when both the forehead and eyebrows are sagging, it is difficult to achieve the desired improvement in eye appearance with double eyelid surgery alone.

If the double eyelid line is made larger by force, the upper eyelid area may look thicker, or the impression may become stronger.

That is why an endoscopic forehead lift, a forehead lift procedure that improves the position of the eyebrows themselves, can sometimes be a more essential solution.

Q. What kind of procedure is an "endoscopic forehead lift"? (Improving eye appearance)

If you look at the before-and-after photos of an endoscopic forehead lift attached above, you can clearly understand the concept.

It is a procedure that makes a small incision inside the hairline, lifts the forehead after dissecting it, and elevates the sagging forehead and the area around the eyebrows.

It can be performed on a wide range of age groups, from young adults in their 20s and older who have low eyebrows from birth and a habit of using their forehead muscles,

to middle-aged patients whose foreheads have sagged and whose vision is being obstructed.

The incision is made briefly, about 1.5 cm, inside the hair.

Because the procedure is performed delicately using an endoscope, it is a forehead lift with less concern about scarring and a faster recovery.

In particular, the implant called "Endotine" used in the endoscopic forehead lift is a safe implant approved by the FDA,

and it is used by fixing it to the forehead bone, which can maximize the lifting effect.

Q. Why is an endoscope used in an endoscopic forehead lift?

In an "endoscopic forehead lift," the endoscope is not just an auxiliary tool, but a key tool that makes precise surgery possible.

Its role becomes even more important when the muscle that lowers the eyebrows, the corrugator muscle, is removed.

When the corrugator muscle is removed, the sagging eyebrows are lifted toward the forehead.

As you can see by comparing the before and after of an endoscopic forehead lift, this helps create a brighter, more refreshed impression.

However, nerve tissue is very densely distributed around this muscle, so it must be approached carefully.

At this time, a FULL HD endoscope helps perform the surgery safely without damaging the nerve tissue.

In this way, the use of endoscopic equipment plays a major role in minimizing nerve injury,

and combined with the medical team’s extensive anatomical knowledge and skill, it helps make safe surgery possible.

Q. Does endoscopic forehead lift surgery feel burdensome?

Sometimes, when we recommend an endoscopic forehead lift to improve eye appearance, people misunderstand it as "the doctor is pushing for more surgery."

Others worry that "the surgery is too big and scary" or "the cost suddenly goes up," and end up reconsidering the surgery itself.

But our intentions are different. Rather than simply making the eyes bigger, we try to find a method that also considers the balance of the entire face and a more natural-looking improvement in expression. This becomes even clearer when you compare the before and after results of an endoscopic forehead lift.

As a plastic surgeon, it is very rewarding when actual patients become satisfied after surgery because their expression looks brighter and clearer.

Recently, someone left a comment on YouTube saying, "I heard an acquaintance had severe headaches after surgery."

In response, I answered: "An endoscopic forehead lift is not a procedure that simply pulls everything upward. Because the tissue is gently dissected so as not to stimulate the nerves, and the lifting is performed delicately, there is no need to worry."

"The reason such a safe surgery is possible is that it is supported by sufficient anatomical knowledge, careful surgical technique, and precise access through endoscopic equipment.

Going forward, I will continue to provide accurate and sincere explanations not only about endoscopic forehead lift surgery, but also about procedures that can improve both facial expression and function at the same time.

If you are concerned about your eye appearance, compare the before and after of an endoscopic forehead lift and receive an expert diagnosis.
