Forehead Lift Effect?

For drooping eyelids

Director Kim Hyun-jo’s <3> Recommendations!

Hello.

This is Obje Plastic Surgery.

Every time you look in the mirror,

you may feel like your eyelids are gradually drooping,

and if your eyes seem heavy or cramped,

many people think of upper blepharoplasty.

This is because they expect that

if the loose eyelid skin is removed,

the eyes will look more refreshed.

In fact, upper blepharoplasty is

one of the representative methods

for addressing drooping eyelids,

so it is often chosen

as one of the most common procedures.

However, there is one important point

that must be mentioned here.

Upper blepharoplasty is not

equally effective for every type

of drooping eye area.

Sometimes, a brow lift under the eyebrow

or a forehead lift may be

more appropriate.

So today, I’d like to organize

three surgical methods that can be applied

to drooping eyelids.

If you read to the end,

it will help you understand when each method is needed

and which one may be right for you.

First recommendation,

If only the OOO skin has stretched? <Upper blepharoplasty>

The first recommended method is

the well-known upper blepharoplasty.

Upper blepharoplasty is a procedure that

designs along the double eyelid line

and removes the loose eyelid skin.

This method is suitable when

the eyebrow and forehead positions remain the same,

but only the eyelid skin has become thin and loose,

obstructing the field of vision.

The way to check is simple.

Stand in front of a mirror and

press down firmly on your forehead with your hand.

If, while keeping that position, you open your eyes and the eyebrows

stay properly in place above the brow bone,

and only the eyelid skin looks wrinkled,

upper blepharoplasty can sufficiently improve it.

Because upper blepharoplasty

removes the loose skin,

the double eyelid line can become clearer again,

and the eyes can look much cleaner.

What matters here, however,

is how much skin should be removed.

If too much is removed,

the eyes may not fully close

when you shut them,

and if too little is removed,

the heavy, cramped feeling may remain.

That is why, before surgery,

it is necessary to precisely measure

how much extra skin there is

and where the double eyelid line will look natural.

The strength of the muscles that open the eyes

must also be checked.

If only the skin is addressed

while the muscle strength is weak,

the eyes may not open in a refreshed way,

so an additional procedure to strengthen the muscle

may be needed.

In the end, upper blepharoplasty is

affective when the eyelid skin itself

is the problem.

Second recommendation,

If the OO has dropped downward? <Brow lift under the eyebrow>

The second recommended method is

a brow lift under the eyebrow.

A brow lift under the eyebrow is a procedure that

makes an incision in the skin just below the eyebrow

and lifts the drooping eyebrow.

This method is needed when

you originally had double eyelids,

but as you age,

the eyebrows have dropped downward

and started to cover the double eyelid line.

Using the self-check method mentioned earlier,

if you press on your forehead and see that

the eyebrows are slightly below

the brow bone,

but the double eyelid line is still clearly visible,

this is the time to consider a brow lift under the eyebrow.

In such cases, if you only remove the eyelid skin

with upper blepharoplasty,

the distance between the eyes and eyebrows becomes even narrower,

and the eyelids may end up looking thicker.

On the other hand, if a brow lift under the eyebrow

is used to bring the drooping eyebrows back into place,

the eye area can look refreshed naturally

without altering the double eyelid line.

It has the advantage of improving the heavy feeling

while preserving the existing eye shape.

For those who originally liked their double eyelids,

this can be a more satisfying choice.

Third recommendation,

If even the OO has drooped? <Forehead lift>

The last recommended method is

a forehead lift.

This surgery lifts the entire drooping forehead

and fixes it together with the eyebrows.

This method is needed when

the entire forehead has dropped heavily

and the eyebrows have also sagged.

Here is how to check.

If you press on your forehead and see that

the eyebrows are clearly below the brow bone,

and several deep horizontal forehead lines

have formed,

this is the time to consider a forehead lift.

The reason deep horizontal lines appear on the forehead is that

the forehead muscles have been overused

each time you open your eyes.

Because the muscles that lift the eyelids alone

are not enough to open the eyes fully,

you have been unconsciously using the forehead muscles as well

to keep your eyes open.

In this state, if you only have upper blepharoplasty

or a brow lift under the eyebrow,

it may seem to improve temporarily,

but the underlying problem is not solved.

Since the entire forehead has dropped heavily,

after some time the eyes may feel heavy and cramped again.

By contrast, if a forehead lift

raises the drooping forehead and eyebrows together,

you can expect two effects at once.

First, as the eyebrow covering the eyes moves upward,

the eye area becomes clearly more defined.

Second, because you no longer need to overuse the forehead muscles,

forehead wrinkles can also improve.

This is the effect of a forehead lift.

However, in a forehead lift,

how much the eyebrows are raised is important.

If they are lifted too high,

the expression may look unnatural, as if startled,

and if they are lifted too little,

the eyes may still look heavy and cramped.

That is why the key is to precisely analyze

the facial proportions and the position of the brow bone

and find a natural height.

In the end, to properly see the effect of a forehead lift,

you need to consider the sagging of the entire forehead as well.

Today, for those who are worried about drooping eyelids,

I organized three surgical methods.

Even if they look like the same kind of 'drooping eyelids,'

the procedure needed can be completely different

depending on where the cause lies.

Director Kim Hyun-jo of Obje Plastic Surgery

does not simply look at the drooping eyelid itself,

but comprehensively analyzes the position of the eyebrows,

the degree of forehead sagging,

and the strength of the muscles that open the eyes,

as well as the overall facial structure.

Only then can the result be natural and satisfying,

matching each person's eye area.

The effect of a forehead lift

can truly appear only when you understand

that the forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids are all connected

and approach the issue within the balance of the whole face.

Based on what I explained today,

please check at home once,

and when you consult with a specialist,

I recommend that you also

review these points together.

I hope this post was even a little helpful

for those who are worried about their eye area.
