20s Forehead Lift,
Why Is MZ Choosing It Instead of Double Eyelid Surgery?

Hello.
This is Obje Plastic Surgery.
When we consult with people in their 20s who are worried because their eyes look cramped,
most people naturally think first of double eyelid surgery.
They think, “Wouldn’t raising the line a little solve it?”
But when we actually look closely at the eyes,
the problem is often not that there is no crease,
but that the eyes look cramped because the structure is being pressed from above.
That is why people with the same concern
end up seriously considering a forehead lift in their 20s.

However, forehead lifts are often strongly perceived as a procedure done after aging has progressed a lot.
That is a natural misunderstanding, since lift surgeries have traditionally been performed mainly on middle-aged and older patients.
But what matters is not the name of the surgery.
What matters is accurately identifying where the real cause is
of why my eyes look cramped right now.
So today, we will structurally examine why eyes can look cramped,
and explain step by step why a forehead lift can be the answer.

If you read to the end,
you’ll clearly understand how to naturally improve not only eye discomfort
but also your overall impression.
Is the problem that you don’t have double eyelids?
The real culprit is somewhere else
First, let’s check something here.
You may have a double eyelid crease,
but it gets buried under the eyelid fat and looks like a hidden crease,
or
your eyes are often swollen in the morning,
you always feel tired,
or people tell you that you look angry.
There are also people who, when trying to open their eyes wider,
unconsciously tense their forehead,
and by the afternoon their forehead feels stiff and sore.

If even one of these applies to you,
it is likely that the problem is not only the eyelids.
The structure itself, where the eyebrows and forehead that have dropped from above are covering otherwise normal eyes,
may be the cause.
In this state,
what happens if you approach it by thinking,
“My eyes look cramped, so I should just make the double eyelid line higher”?
The space between the eyes and eyebrows is already narrow,
and if you try to force a line into that narrow area, the skin above the eyes can look even thicker,

and the space between the eyes and eyebrows can end up looking even tighter.
As a result, rather than reducing the cramped impression,
the face may look even puffier and heavier.
This is also why so-called “sausage eyes” or “clam-like eyes” can appear.
That is because double eyelid surgery is a procedure that creates a crease;
it is not a surgery that makes the heavy structure above the eyes lighter.
In other words, if the reason your eyes look cramped is not a “lack of a crease” but the “structure above the eyes,”
a forehead lift may be a more accurate solution than double eyelid surgery.
20s Forehead Lift vs. Forehead Lift in Middle Age,
Same name, different reasons?

First, let’s briefly go over what a forehead lift is.
A forehead lift is, as the name suggests,
a surgery that raises the forehead and eyebrow line upward.
In the process, as the eyebrows are lifted,
the structure covering the eyes is tidied up,
and the space between the eyes and eyebrows is naturally secured.
So even without directly altering the eyelids much,
the pressed eye shape opens up more clearly,
and you can expect the hidden crease to be revealed.
In other words, although it is a surgery that lifts the forehead,
in the end it is a procedure that improves both the cramped appearance of the eyes and the overall impression.

However, even though it is the same forehead lift,
the purpose of the surgery is completely different depending on the age group.
Forehead lifts in middle age are mainly intended to solve situations where sagging skin due to aging covers the eyes and obstructs vision,
or where heavy eyelids have become functionally uncomfortable.
In other words, it is closer to a surgery that restores function by lifting a sagging structure.
On the other hand, a forehead lift in your 20s is performed in a stage with almost no wrinkles
to tidy up a structure where the eyelids look thick and puffy,
or where the eyebrows press on the eyes and make the impression look harsh.

The focus is on a “purely cosmetic purpose” that makes the image and impression lighter and softer.
In fact, when the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is secured,
the thick eyelid skin can flatten out,
and the eyes often become more defined while the overall impression becomes much softer.

That is why a forehead lift in your 20s
is more accurately understood not as a surgery that treats aging,
but as aesthetic plastic surgery that brings out the potential your eyes already have.
Today, we looked at forehead lifts in your 20s.
The key point was just one thing.
If the reason your eyes look cramped is not simply that you don’t have double eyelids,
but that they look pressed down because of the eyebrow and forehead structure that has dropped,
then the answer may be a forehead lift rather than double eyelid surgery.

So when choosing a clinic,
what’s important is not whether they perform forehead lifts,
but whether they can structurally diagnose the reason your eyes look cramped.
Depending on whether they are a place that recommends double eyelid surgery by looking only at the eyelids,
or a place that looks at the relationship between the forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids together
and explains which surgery is more suitable,
the results and satisfaction can differ.

At Obje Plastic Surgery, through precise diagnosis,
we carefully check from the structure whether you are a candidate for a forehead lift in your 20s
or whether another procedure is more suitable.
If you are still looking in the mirror and feeling unsure,
rather than deciding on your own,
we recommend visiting a clinic that can accurately diagnose the structure of your eyes
and hearing multiple opinions.
