Forehead Lift Recovery Period? You Should Know Before Surgery

Hello. I am Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery.

As people get older, some feel that their facial impression has changed a lot.

An expression that once seemed sharp may become more gentle, and a bright, lively impression may start to feel a little heavy.

There are many causes of a heavy-looking impression.

Sagging eyes, a wrinkled forehead, and a narrow distance between the eyebrows all combine to create a complex cause.

Therefore, to change a heavy impression into a brighter and more refreshed one, it is important to identify the cause accurately and then improve it.

Today, let’s take a look at forehead lifting, a procedure that can help improve a wrinkled forehead and sagging eyes.

Forehead lifting?

Liting’s forehead lift is a surgical method that can address concerns in the upper part of the face, such as sagging eyes and a wrinkled forehead, all at once.

It can help you transform a tired, aged-looking impression into a youthful and energetic one.

The forehead and eye area are the first parts of the face to show signs of aging.

This is a suitable procedure for people in their 30s to 50s who want to restore a more youthful appearance by lifting these areas.

Because consultation with a specialist is essential in order to perform a lifting procedure that is appropriate for each person, our clinic offers four different surgical options.

Feel the effect of forehead lifting without surgery!

Liting’s non-incisional forehead lift is a procedure that inserts threads near the hairline or under the eyebrows without surgery (incision) to pull up sagging skin, allowing for a lifting effect without worrying about scars.

In addition, it has the effect of correcting sagging eyes, helping you achieve a clearer and more defined eye shape.

This procedure is recommended for people who are concerned about forehead wrinkles, sagging eyes, a heavy impression, or scars after surgery, and for those who want a natural yet defined eye shape.

Small incision, powerful effect!

This procedure, commonly called an "endoscopic forehead lift," can naturally lift a sagging forehead with only a small incision in the hairline scalp.

By using a special fixer (FixTine), the lifted skin is securely fixed to improve durability.

It is a procedure that lifts the entire forehead in a balanced way while reducing the burden of scars and side effects.

If you want a stronger lift than a procedure can provide, a partial-incision forehead lift is recommended.

Incisional forehead lifting!

This procedure makes an incision along the hairline, separates the forehead skin, carefully fixes the lifted skin, and then removes and sutures the remaining skin.

It can improve not only deep wrinkles, often called an "iron forehead," but also sagging eyelids at the same time.

If you want a more powerful lifting effect and a longer-lasting result, you can choose a scalp-incision forehead lift.

Improves a broad forehead at the same time!

After making an incision along the hairline, part of the skin is removed and the scalp and forehead are pulled up at the same time before being sutured in an appropriate proportion.

Its biggest feature is that it can create multiple effects with a single surgery, allowing both forehead lifting and reduction at the same time.

If you want a strong lift with minimal concern about scars and a long-lasting result, a forehead reduction lift is recommended.

The recovery period after forehead lifting can vary from person to person depending on individual skin condition, the degree of aging, and the type of forehead lift surgery, but we generally inform patients that they can return to daily life in about 1 to 2 weeks.

** Depending on the individual, surgical results may vary, and swelling, bruising, bleeding, etc. may occur after surgery, so please proceed after sufficiently consulting with the medical staff.**

Swelling and bruising may appear on the face after surgery, but in most cases they gradually subside over time.

In particular, headaches may occur for the first 3 days after surgery, but this is a natural phenomenon that occurs because the forehead muscles are also pulled upward. If the pain is severe, it can be controlled with the prescribed medication.

From the 4th day, the swelling and bruising gradually subside and do not interfere with daily life, but strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths may interfere with the recovery process, so it is best to avoid them.

Also, after 2 weeks, the bruising and swelling gradually disappear, and you can 확인 the effect of the skin being naturally tightened.

At this time, it is better to refrain from alcohol and smoking for about a month until the inflammatory response disappears.

** Depending on the individual, surgical results may vary, and swelling, bruising, bleeding, etc. may occur after surgery, so please proceed after sufficiently consulting with the medical staff.**

Today, we looked into forehead lifting.

If you are considering a forehead lift procedure, it is best to decide after consulting with a specialist.
