The Effects of a Forehead Lift in Your 20s?
A Comprehensive Summary by Director Kim Hyun-jo

Hello.
This is Objet Plastic Surgery.
When people hear “forehead lift,”
they usually think first of
a procedure received
as they get older.
So when you look into
a forehead lift in your 20s,
you may start searching because
you are unsure whether it will really be effective
or whether it might be
too early to undergo
the procedure.
When you search for information,
most of what you find concerns
middle-aged and older adults,
so information addressing
the changes that appear in people
your age is not easy to find.

That is why today,
we would like to explain right away
what effects you can expect
from a forehead lift in your 20s.
We will also look at, step by step,
why these effects appear
and how the procedure differs
from that performed for middle-aged and older adults,
so we hope you will find it helpful
if you read to the end.
The Effects of a Forehead Lift in Your 20s?
We’ll summarize them in <3 points>
To begin with the conclusion,
there are three main effects
that people in their 20s
can expect from a forehead lift.
First, a hidden
double-eyelid crease becomes visible.
Even when a double-eyelid crease is clearly present,
there are cases where the crease looks thin
or the outer part appears covered.
When the eyebrows are raised,
the weight covering the eyelids is reduced,
making the existing crease look
more distinct.

Second, the upper eyelids
look less heavy.
As the fullness above the eyes
looks reduced,
the feeling of heaviness or stuffiness
becomes considerably less noticeable.
Third, your overall appearance changes.
Eyes that were often described as
looking sleepy or heavy
may take on a clearer
and more refined appearance.

In other words, this is not a procedure
that turns back the clock,
but one that makes the eyes
look more defined.
That is what a forehead lift
means for people in their 20s.
The eyebrows moved,
but the eyes look different?

If so, why does the appearance of the eyes change
when the forehead, rather than the eyelids,
is lifted?
The important point here is that
the eyebrows and eyelids
are connected structures.
If the eyebrows are naturally
positioned low,
the eyelid skin beneath them
is continuously pressed down.
Just as placing a heavy load
on top of a blanket
presses it flat,
the force pressing down from above
pushes the eyelid skin downward
and causes it to cover the eyes.
As a result, the upper eyelids
look fuller than they actually are,
and the double-eyelid crease
is covered by the skin,
making it look faint.
This is a typical structural reason
why people in their 20s consider
a forehead lift.
They are not necessarily experiencing
age-related changes;
rather, they may have naturally low eyebrows
or thick tissue around the upper eyelids.

In such cases,
rather than altering the double-eyelid crease,
raising the eyebrows that are causing the pressure
back to their proper position
can be a more precise way
to change the appearance of the eyes.

You may now have a clearer understanding
of why the eyes look more defined
when the forehead is lifted.
Even with the same procedure,
the “purpose” is different
A forehead lift is commonly known
as a procedure often received
by middle-aged adults.

However, even with the same procedure,
the purpose of undergoing it differs.
In their 50s and 60s,
many people experience the eyebrows
and forehead descending over time,
which can obstruct their field of vision
or make it difficult
to open their eyes at all.

Therefore, a forehead lift for this age group
has a cosmetic purpose of refining the eyes,
as well as a functional purpose:
improving the field of vision
and making it easier
to open the eyes comfortably.
By contrast, a forehead lift in your 20s
focuses more on cosmetic concerns
than on function.

The focus is on revealing
a hidden double-eyelid crease,
reducing the fullness of the upper eyelids,
and creating more defined eyes.
Therefore, when deciding whether to undergo surgery,
rather than using age as the standard,
it is important to first check
where your eyebrows are currently positioned
and where the cause of the heavy appearance
of your eyes begins.
However, a forehead lift
is not the same answer for every eye shape,
so there are also factors
that should be examined before surgery.
If the distance between your eyes
and eyebrows is already wide,
raising the eyebrows further
may change the proportions of your entire face,
so another method may suit you better
than a lift.

If your hairline is high,
raising the eyebrows may make the forehead
look even wider.
In that case, it may be necessary
to consider forehead reduction as well
or adjust the degree of the lift.
Therefore, even with the same concern,
the surgical plan will vary
depending on the structure of your forehead
and the appearance of your eyes.

Today, we examined the effects
that people in their 20s can expect
from a forehead lift and why they occur,
as well as how its purpose differs
from that for middle-aged and older adults.
Director Kim Hyun-jo of Objet Plastic Surgery
creates surgical plans by examining together
the position of the eyebrows,
the distance between the eyebrows and eyes,
and the direction in which the forehead muscles move.
Rather than simply pulling up the forehead,
he first determines whether the reason
the double-eyelid crease is hidden
lies in the eyelids themselves
or in the position of the eyebrows,
then identifies where the heavy appearance
of the eyes begins
and determines the direction
and degree of the lift
according to the cause.

If you are considering a forehead lift
in your 20s,
rather than looking for a surgical method first,
we recommend beginning with a consultation
to determine whether your current eyebrow position,
hairline, and eye structure
are well suited to a forehead lift
as the solution to your concern.
