Improving Sagging That Cannot Be Fixed with a Forehead Lift or Eyelid Surgery

A real case from DM Plastic Surgery for a forehead lift

Were you bothered by deep forehead wrinkles and sagging that cover the eyes, change the shape of the eyes, and even block your field of vision, even when you are not making any special expression?

Then today, let’s take a look at the “endoscopic forehead lift,” which improves forehead wrinkles and sagging eye shape by making an incision in the scalp without using Endotine, leaving the periosteum in place and separating the muscle layer to lift the forehead and eyebrows ❤

Is this only a surgery for middle-aged and older adults?

The endoscopic forehead lift can improve not only middle-aged and older adults with advanced skin laxity, but also younger people whose aging progresses relatively quickly. It can soften wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead, creating a smoother and more vibrant appearance!

It is also recommended for those who want to prevent wrinkles from forming in advance. Since each person has different skin type, fat amount, and degree of sagging, you should find a clinic with a specialist experienced in a variety of cases and create a customized plan after sufficient consultation to achieve highly satisfying results 😁

DM Endoscopic Forehead Lift Without Using Endotine

At DM Plastic Surgery, we do not use a fixation device called Endotine.

※ Please be careful, as side effects may occur when Endotine is used!

If the periosteum is disturbed, some patients may complain of pain. So, through an incision in the scalp, the periosteum is left intact, the muscle layer is separated, and it is fixed to the back muscle layer!

What is endoscopic forehead lift surgery?!

When the forehead sags, the eyebrows also droop. When the eyebrows sag, the eyes become smaller and the field of vision becomes narrower ㅠㅠ In that case, using the frontalis muscle to pull up the forehead in order to open the eyes makes the forehead wrinkles become even more severe 😥 This is a surgery that can improve the gradually sagging forehead, eyebrows, and eye shape by lifting them without changing the impression.

At first, the improvement may have started with procedures such as fillers or Botox, but while those methods offer fast recovery and quick visible effects, they can affect muscle movement and facial expressions, so there are limits to how much they can improve. Recently, more people are identifying the cause and choosing forehead lift surgery as a way to improve it!

By lifting the forehead and eyebrows, this lift improves forehead wrinkles and the eye shape hidden by sagging, and also helps improve wrinkles around the eyes, making it a two-in-one lifting procedure. Shall we look at the incision method and surgical technique?

Because endoscopic forehead lift surgery involves incisions, there may be some scarring. However, after recovery, the incision is made inside the hairline so that new hair can grow to conceal it. DM Plastic Surgery also discusses the incision location in sufficient detail in advance, helping reduce concern about scarring. We strive to achieve more satisfying results by choosing the appropriate method according to each person’s skin condition, degree of sagging, and characteristics.

✅ TYPE 1

With a 1–2 cm three-point minimal incision,

there is less scarring, swelling, and pain,

but the lifting effect and range may be smaller.

✅ TYPE 2

Because the range is wider, the effective area is also wider,

but recovery may be slower depending on the characteristics.

Because the procedure must be performed after carefully checking even the inner tissues, the skill of a specialist with many years of experience is extremely important. At DM Plastic Surgery, specialists with over 20 years of know-how personally establish a customized plan for each patient and perform the surgery themselves. The procedure is carried out with firm fixation to the periosteum so as not to affect the skull bone.

[Real case from DM Plastic Surgery forehead lift]

The patient decided on a forehead lift to improve forehead wrinkles and the areas where the forehead muscles are frequently used in daily life. A customized lifting plan tailored to the patient’s skin condition was used for the forehead lift.

As the forehead and eye area were lifted at the same time, the sagging upper eyelids improved, and you can see in the photos that both the facial impression and eye shape changed to look fresher and more defined.

※ The degree of swelling and recovery may vary from person to person, so please keep this in mind. ※
