Forehead and Eyebrow Lift? A Selection Guide from Director Shin Jong-in

Forehead and Eyebrow Lift?

A Selection Guide from Director Shin Jong-in

<Selection Guide>

Hello, this is Obje Plastic Surgery.

When consulting with patients who are considering eye surgery, we often hear things like this:

"I had upper blepharoplasty,

but my double eyelids seem thicker now."

"My eyes seem to look a little awkward."

These differences happen because the causes of eyelid sagging change as we age.

In your 20s and 30s, it is often just the eyelids

that droop slightly,

but after your 40s and 50s,

the tissue above the eyelids also begins to sag,

which can make the eyes look heavy or narrow the space

between the eyes and the eyebrows.

In such cases, upper blepharoplasty alone

may not improve things as much as expected.

So today, for those who may not be suitable

for upper blepharoplasty,

and who may want to consider it,

I’d like to introduce eyebrow lift and forehead lift procedures.

If you read to the end,

it will surely help you find the method that fits your eye condition.

Eyebrow Lift: Can Your Eyes Change Even Without Double Eyelids?

A Complete Selection Guide to Forehead and Eyebrow Lifts

An eyebrow lift, as the name suggests,

is a method that makes a small incision just below the eyebrow

and lifts the sagging skin of the upper eyelid upward.

Once the upper eye area is tightened,

the heavy-looking eye shape also becomes lighter,

naturally improving overall sagging.

So, as many people worry,

there is no need to necessarily create new double eyelids

in order to see a refreshed eye shape.

This is exactly why people who are thinking,

"I’m not sure about double eyelids..."

often choose this option comfortably.

In particular, when the skin is thick,

it is often difficult to create a natural line with upper blepharoplasty alone,

and for these patients, first tightening the overall sagging

from below the eyebrow can make the eyes look much neater.

Also, because this area is naturally covered by the eyebrow,

the incision line is not very noticeable,

and the skin texture is also favorable,

so scars tend to be less noticeable after recovery.

So for people with thick skin,

for those whose eye-to-eyebrow distance is narrow and who worry that upper blepharoplasty could make them look even more cramped,

and for those who want to soften the sagging look without changing the double eyelids,

this is the method most often recommended.

Forehead Lift: The Secret to Balancing the Face Too?

If treating the area just above the eyes feels a bit burdensome,

or if the sagging extends across the entire forehead,

a forehead lift may be worth considering.

When the skin on the upper forehead is lifted,

the upper eyelid area also rises naturally,

which can help create a more refined overall eye shape.

There are two main methods.

One is a method that makes an incision inside the scalp along the hairline,

and the other is a method that lifts while making an incision along the hairline itself,

reducing a broad forehead.

For those who worry that their forehead has become wider

as the hairline moves backward with age,

the second method can be quite helpful.

That’s because it can slightly lower the widened hairline

while also naturally lifting the forehead and eyelid tissue.

If you have deep forehead wrinkles

or your eyebrows themselves have dropped significantly,

if sagging is visible overall

from the hairline to the eye area,

a forehead lift is more suitable.

Because it lifts the entire upper face,

it tends to improve a wider area than procedures that only address the area around the eyes.

It is a good method for achieving overall natural

and balanced results.

Forehead Lift vs. Eyebrow Lift: Not Sure Which Is Better?

A Complete Selection Guide to Forehead and Eyebrow Lifts

So, which method is right for me?

The point with every procedure is not which one is simply “better,”

but which one matches each person’s eye condition,

because natural results come from choosing the right approach for you.

If, when you look in the mirror,

the sagging is concentrated just above the eyes,

and you use your forehead muscles when opening your eyes,

a eyebrow lift is often a better fit.

When the skin above the eyes sags,

the eyes can feel heavy, causing the forehead to lift instead

in order to secure your field of vision.

On the other hand,

if the entire forehead has drooped downward

or the hairline has become wider, making the upper face look longer,

a forehead lift is more helpful in restoring overall balance.

Of course, factors such as the actual skin thickness,

muscle strength, and the distance between the eyes and eyebrows

can only be accurately judged in person.

But even just understanding

where your sagging is more concentrated

can give you a rough idea of

which method may suit you better.

In the end, the key is choosing the method that fits your facial structure

and the type of sagging you have.

Today, I introduced eyebrow lifts and forehead lifts

as options to consider when upper blepharoplasty is not suitable

or when the surgical result may look unnatural.

Eyelid sagging is not a problem of just one area;

it comes from a structure connected from the forehead to the eyelids,

so it is most important to identify which part of the face has collapsed.

Director Shin Jong-in of Obje Plastic Surgery

does not judge these differences simply by appearance.

He carefully analyzes the anatomical structure

and values setting the right direction for each patient.

Rather than looking from only one angle,

he also considers the results from multiple perspectives,

such as from above, the side, and at an angle,

and follows a method of finding a natural

and harmonious line that suits the patient.

If you are still wondering which choice is right,

be sure to check these three things:

where your sagging is concentrated,

what kind of impression you want,

and whether the medical team provides an accurate plan

through sufficient analysis.

In the end, what matters is choosing what fits your face,

so please remember that and make your decision carefully,

and I hope you achieve satisfying results.
