If Forehead Wrinkles Appear When You Open Your Eyes

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-joon, the chief director of the Seoul branch of Reit Plastic Surgery.

When you try to open your eyes wide, which area do you feel exerting force?

Usually, you probably use the muscles around your eyes to try to open them clearly.

However, as time passes and aging begins, the strength used to open the eyes weakens, and the eyelids droop, making it difficult to open them wide using eye strength alone.

As a result, people naturally start using the forehead and eyebrows, and forehead wrinkles are often observed when opening the eyes.

Today, I’d like to talk about forehead lift surgery, which can help in such cases.

When is a forehead lift needed?

As aging begins, the thin skin starts to sag little by little.

Among these areas, the eyelids are one of the places where the skin itself is thin and more likely to sag.

As the eyelid skin, internal muscles, fat, and other tissues sag, the eye shape naturally changes and wrinkles form.

If the problem is limited to that area, it can be improved through upper eyelid surgery or under-brow lift surgery. However, if the forehead and eyebrows are also affected, such as with forehead wrinkles when opening the eyes, it can be alleviated through a forehead lift.

Natural forehead thread lifting

If the forehead wrinkles when opening the eyes are not severe, or if you want improvement through a non-surgical procedure rather than surgery, thread lifting may be suitable.

This is a non-incisional method that works by inserting threads into the dermis and pulling them upward.

Because it is performed without an incision, it is a highly satisfying option for people who feel burdened by surgery.

It has the advantage of creating a natural lift while reducing scarring and physical 부담.

Since no incision is made, recovery is also relatively quick, making it suitable for those who cannot invest a long time in recovery.

Partial incision using endoscopy

When you want a stronger lift than a procedure can provide, a forehead lift through partial incision may be the right choice.

This refers to making a small incision at four or five points inside the scalp along the hairline, then using an endoscope to separate the tissue.

By fixing it with fixators, you can expect strong fixation and lasting results over a long period.

Because the incision range is small, concerns about scarring or side effects are relatively low, and it is a method that helps improve forehead wrinkles and the eye shape.

It is also suitable in cases where additional surgery is difficult because eye-related surgery has been performed repeatedly.

What if you want a dramatic change?

If the forehead wrinkles when opening the eyes are severe, the eyelid drooping is significant, or the wrinkles are deeply etched even when at rest, an incision-based forehead lift may be satisfying.

This method involves separating along the hairline, pulling up the sagging muscles and skin, removing any excess skin, and then securing it in place.

It can improve overall upper-face wrinkles, and by removing loose skin, it can also help reduce concerns that the forehead will appear wider.

It is helpful not only for cases where eye surgery is difficult, but also for people with deep frown lines, a short distance between the eyes and eyebrows, or those who want a strong lift and a long-lasting result.

Why personalized surgery is needed

As shown above, forehead lift surgery for upper-face skin sagging can be performed in various ways depending on the situation.

Therefore, it is important to consider each person’s different condition, such as the degree of loss of elasticity, the areas affected, and any functional issues.

This requires the medical team’s judgment, expertise, and experience to carefully diagnose and select the necessary procedure.

Our clinic has focused on lifting procedures for many years, so personalized surgery based on each individual is possible.
