Can the Effects of Forehead Lift Surgery Change Even OO?

How It Differs from Double Eyelid Surgery!

Hello.

This is Obje Plastic Surgery.

There are days when

my eyes look especially heavy

and sleepy when I look in the mirror.

Even though I clearly have double eyelids,

my upper eyelids look thick and heavy,

making my overall expression look stuffy.

That is why, while looking into

double eyelid surgery or eye-opening correction,

some of you may have come across

the somewhat unexpected term

“forehead lift surgery.”

It is surgery that lifts the forehead,

so you may wonder why the eyes

are being discussed as well,

or why, for the same concern about the eyes,

some people are advised to undergo double eyelid surgery

while others are advised to undergo forehead lift surgery.

Today, I would like to explain

that very point carefully,

step by step from the beginning.

If you read to the end,

it may help you get a sense of

which approach is suitable for your eyes.

Are the effects of forehead lift surgery limited to the forehead?

They also appear in the appearance of the eyes!

Let me first answer

the question in the title.

The effects of forehead lift surgery

appear not only on the forehead,

but also around the eyes.

Many people think of forehead lift surgery

as simply a procedure to smooth forehead wrinkles.

In reality, it lifts a drooping forehead and eyebrows,

so it can also change the impression around the eyes.

When the eyebrows descend,

they gently press down on

the eyelids directly below them.

In this condition,

the eyes can look smaller and more closed-in

even without operating directly on them.

Conversely, when the eyebrows are lifted back into position,

the pressed-down eyelids have more room,

and the previously hidden double eyelid lines become visible,

making the eyes look clearer and more defined.

This is why the eyes can look much clearer

even without directly operating on them.

The “real reason” the eyes look clearer after lifting the forehead

At this point,

you may wonder whether the forehead and eyes

are really connected to that extent.

When the eyebrows descend,

the eyelid skin is pushed downward

and covers the eyes.

As a result, the upper eyelids look thicker,

and the double eyelid lines gradually become hidden.

The changes do not stop at the eyes.

People with drooping eyebrows

unconsciously use their forehead muscles

when opening their eyes.

Because it is difficult to open the eyes well

using only the eyelid muscles,

they develop the habit of pulling the forehead upward

to open their eyes.

This creates forehead wrinkles,

while the eyes always look heavy and tired.

This is where the effects of forehead lift surgery

change that pattern.

When the drooping eyebrows are lifted back into position,

the need to use the forehead to open the eyes is reduced.

As the eyebrows are lifted and the eyelids are less obstructed,

opening the eyes becomes more comfortable.

As less force is applied to the forehead,

the eyes can open more easily,

and the eyes may look more defined.

When double eyelid surgery does not resolve the closed-in appearance,

“this” is the deciding factor

Then why are double eyelid surgery

and forehead lift surgery considered separately

for the same concern about the eyes?

The key is where the cause lies.

When the eyes look closed-in,

the first procedures that usually come to mind

are double eyelid surgery or upper eyelid surgery.

Double eyelid surgery and upper eyelid surgery

treat the eyelids themselves.

They remove excess skin or thick fat

and define the double eyelid line.

If the cause lies in the eyelids,

these procedures may be a good fit.

By contrast, forehead lift surgery lifts the eyebrows and forehead

that are pressing down on the eyelids,

addressing the source of the pressure from above.

Even when the eyes look closed-in for the same reason,

the choice differs depending on whether the problem lies in the eyelids

or in the eyebrows and forehead.

This distinction becomes especially important with age.

In middle age, it is not only the eyelids

that may droop;

the eyebrows may descend as well,

and the forehead may droop at the same time.

Because all three areas can be affected at once,

if you undergo only upper eyelid surgery

to address the eyelids,

the eyebrows and forehead pressing down from above

may remain unchanged,

leaving some of the closed-in appearance unresolved.

That is why consultations for middle-aged eye surgery

look beyond the eyelids alone.

The position of the eyebrows,

the condition of the forehead,

and the habit of using the forehead muscles

are also examined together.

If your double eyelid line is gradually becoming hidden,

wrinkles appear on your forehead when you open your eyes,

or you need to raise your eyebrows to open your eyes well,

it may be worth considering the effects of forehead lift surgery,

which examines the eyebrows and forehead together

rather than focusing only on the eyelids.

Today, we looked at how the effects of forehead lift surgery

can go beyond forehead wrinkles,

making the eyes look more defined

and opening the eyes more comfortably,

as well as how it differs

from double eyelid surgery.

When the eyes look closed-in,

it is easy to think of the eyelids first,

but it is helpful to remember

to check not only the eyelids,

but also the position of the eyebrows

and the condition of the forehead.

Dr. Kim Hyun-jo of Obje Plastic Surgery

does not determine the surgery based only on the condition of the eyelids.

The position of the eyebrows,

the condition of the forehead,

and the condition of the eyelids

are examined together to determine an approach suited to the cause.

Because the choice between forehead lift surgery

and double eyelid surgery depends on where the cause lies,

the diagnostic process of examining the eyebrows,

forehead, and eyelids together in one consultation

is that important.

The eyes are central to your overall impression,

so if you are researching carefully,

you are doing the right thing.

Compare several clinics carefully,

and consider having a consultation

that also identifies where the closed-in appearance of your eyes begins.

I hope that your careful consideration

leads to results you are happy with.
