Forehead Lift for the Eyes and Overall Expression! Addressing Age-Related Changes All at Once

Is there no match for time? Wrinkles and sagging, the beginning of aging

Hello. I’m Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of Ritting Plastic Surgery Seoul Branch.

There is an old saying, “There is no match for time.”

It means that no one can win against the passage of time.

In particular, there is one area of the body where this saying becomes very clear.

That area is the eyelids.

As we age, skin elasticity naturally decreases, and as a result, the eyelids begin to sag.

This can make the eyes look smaller or give a tired impression.

🚨Signs of age-related changes in the eye area that should not be missed🚨

Today, I’d like to talk about the “forehead lift,” a procedure that can address forehead wrinkles and sagging eyelids at the same time.

As we get older, the strength used to open the eyes weakens, and without realizing it, we start using the forehead to open the eyes, developing a habit of lifting the eyes with the forehead.

This can happen because fat builds up in the upper eyelid area and makes it feel heavy, but in most cases, it is because the eyes sag with age, making the eyelids feel heavy.

In such cases, a forehead lift can improve not only the eyebrows but also the overall facial expression.

When people think of a forehead lift, the first thing that comes to mind is usually “forehead wrinkles.”

Of course, improving forehead wrinkles is one of the important reasons for the procedure, but these days, what is even more important is improving the expression and addressing sagging around the eyes.

Then, many of you may be wondering:

Can’t this be sufficiently improved with an upper blepharoplasty or an eyebrow lift??

Of course, if there is sagging around the eyes or discomfort at the initial stage, you should naturally consider upper blepharoplasty or eyebrow lift surgery.

However, I recommend a forehead lift if eye lifting alone is considered limited, if the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is too narrow, or if you have already undergone eye correction or eye surgery more than once.

The forehead lift differs slightly depending on the degree of sagging.

Because the eyes and forehead have a major impact on facial expression and overall impression, it is important to pull them in the right direction and with the appropriate strength so that the result looks as natural as possible.

Recently, I appeared on Channel A’s Happy Morning “Doctor House” to discuss the forehead lift procedure. I hope you will watch the video below along with this post, as it may help with understanding.
