Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery: A Review of Solving Forehead Wrinkles with Forehead Lift Surgery

Hello, this is Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery.

As time passes and we naturally age, wrinkles and sagging occur due to the effects of gravity.

When forehead wrinkles become deeper, the face can look heavy and tired.

Deep wrinkles and sagging eyelids can make a person look older, which is why many middle-aged people seek lifting procedures.

In this post, I will cover endoscopic forehead lifting, which can help address these concerns, along with a real surgical case.

What is endoscopic forehead lifting? Endoscopic forehead lifting is a surgery that lifts the forehead and eyebrow area.

Without the need for a large traditional incision, it can smooth forehead wrinkles and glabellar wrinkles and improve sagging eyebrows and eyelids. Because this surgery is performed using an endoscope, it has the advantages of faster recovery and less scarring.

※ Recommended candidates for endoscopic forehead lifting ※

• When the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow

• When sagging eyebrows and eyelids make it difficult to open the eyes

• When the upper face is generally sagging and has wrinkles

• When there are deep forehead and glabellar wrinkles

• When the bridge of the nose and crow’s feet are severe

People who fall into these categories can see significant results through endoscopic forehead lifting. It is not only middle-aged people; many people in their 20s and 30s who have a narrow distance between the eyes and eyebrows also come in as candidates for forehead lifting.

Endoscopic forehead lifting procedure Forehead lifting is currently performed using endoscopic equipment.

A small vertical incision is made inside the hairline scalp to minimize scarring, and after precisely identifying the patient’s nerves and blood vessels,

an endoscope is used to safely dissect between the thin fascia and deep fascia of the temporalis muscle, avoiding blood vessels and nerves, all the way to the forehead and the underside of the eyebrows.

After that, only the muscles are carefully cut and pulled, then firmly fixed to the periosteum and sutured.

Endoscopic forehead lifting patient case Let’s explain in more detail through a patient case.

If you look at the preoperative photo, you can see that there are many wrinkles on the forehead and that the eyelids have sagged quite a bit overall.

Because of the sagging eyelids, opening the eyes feels heavy, and when the eyes become smaller, more force is used in the forehead, which can deepen the forehead and glabellar wrinkles further.

By lifting the bridge of the nose, fine wrinkles, crow’s feet, and the sagging forehead, we improved the forehead wrinkles, glabellar wrinkles, and eyelid sagging all at once.

The surgery was performed as naturally as possible so that the person’s original image could remain, and as the forehead and eyebrows were pulled upward, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows also increased, softening the sharp impression.

In addition, the deep forehead and glabellar wrinkles were smoothed out, resulting in a younger and brighter appearance.

So far, we have summarized endoscopic forehead lifting.

I hope this was helpful for those considering forehead lifting surgery.
