Hello.

This is Objet Plastic Surgery.

If you are reading this post,

you may be 고민하다 about

hearing that you look tired because of a sagging forehead.

Your eyelids feel heavy,

and your eyebrows seem to be gradually dropping, so

you started looking into a forehead lift,

only to hear,

"Won't it make your forehead wider?"

which may have made your concerns even deeper.

Even when you search online, the same surgery

yields all kinds of different comments about the results,

so many of you may have ended up

more confused.

Today, for those who are in this situation,

we will explain the biggest misconception about

before and after forehead lift surgery.

We’ll clearly sort out whether the claim

that "the forehead becomes wider" is really true,

and in which cases it happens

and in which cases it does not.

If you read to the end,

it will help you judge which method is right for you.

Forehead lift?

Let’s first look at what kind of surgery it is

A forehead lift is a surgery

that raises a sagging forehead and eyebrows upward.

As we age,

when the skin tissue sags downward,

the eyebrows also descend

and the eyelids begin to feel heavy.

When these changes occur,

they create a tired and older-looking impression,

but after a forehead lift,

that image can be improved to look younger

and more lively.

In the past, a long incision along the hairline was common,

but these days,

a minimally invasive endoscopic forehead lift

is mainly performed using an endoscope.

Because the incision area is smaller,

recovery is faster and

the burden of scarring is reduced,

which is a major advantage.

However, even though it is such a good surgery,

many people hesitate because of the saying

that "it makes the forehead wider."

So now, let’s uncover the truth behind that misconception one by one.

"Won’t the forehead become wider?"

Is that really true?

To answer first:

it can become wider,

or it may not.

Why does that sound so vague?

Because each person’s skin condition is different,

the before and after results of a forehead lift also appear differently.

When you undergo a forehead lift,

a force naturally works to pull the forehead backward.

At this point, if the skin has many wrinkles

and a lot of stretched tissue,

then the sagging tissue is pulled taut after surgery

and smoothed out.

To put it simply,

it is like unfolding a wrinkled cloth.

Just as a wrinkled area looks wider

when it is smoothed out,

the forehead area can also appear wider.

In addition, as much as the eyebrows are raised,

the hairline also moves upward,

which is another reason the forehead may appear wider.

On the other hand, for people whose tissue is not very stretched,

even when you compare the before and after results,

the width hardly changes.

If your skin tissue is naturally taut

and has good elasticity,

the area itself does not change much

even when the eyebrows are lifted.

As a result, even if the same surgery is performed,

the degree to which the change is felt

will vary greatly from person to person.

What if your forehead is already wide?

Consider OOO together!

If your forehead is already on the wide side,

to be honest, we do not recommend a simple forehead lift alone.

Does that mean there is no solution?

Of course, there is a method we can recommend.

In such cases, we recommend considering forehead reduction together.

Forehead reduction is a surgery

that pulls the hairline downward.

While a forehead lift raises sagging tissue upward,

it simultaneously lowers the hairline

to reduce the forehead area.

By combining these two procedures,

you can improve sagging while also

maintaining the forehead width at an appropriate level.

Ultimately, for those worried about

before and after forehead lift results,

the most important thing is

an accurate diagnosis that matches your condition.

That is because even one seemingly minor factor

can affect the overall impression in many cases.

The distance between the hairline and the eyebrows,

the degree of skin stretching,

the level of elasticity, hair condition, and eyebrow position

all need to be considered

when planning surgery

in order to achieve good results.

Today, we looked at the biggest misconception

about before and after forehead lift surgery,

which is the claim that "the forehead becomes wider."

A forehead lift is a surgery whose results vary

depending on each person’s skin tissue condition.

For people whose tissue is greatly stretched,

it can become wider,

but for those whose tissue is not,

there is hardly any change.

In the end, the key is not simply whether or not you have surgery,

but understanding exactly what changes will happen for you.

Only by going through this process thoroughly

can you move toward a decision without regret.

So judging only from cases around you

or from reviews may not be accurate.

Director Kim Hyun-jo of Objet Plastic Surgery

does not stop at simply lifting the eyebrows,

but also carefully analyzes

the distance between the hairline and the eyebrows,

tissue elasticity, scalp condition,

and hair condition,

and considers it important to

create a personalized surgical plan for each patient.

If you are still wondering which method is right for you,

we recommend that you consult sufficiently

with a specialist.

Making a decision after fully understanding the procedure

has a big impact on satisfaction afterward as well.

We hope that, after careful consideration,

you will also have satisfying before and after forehead lift results.

This has been Objet Plastic Surgery.

Thank you.
