Lindsay Lohan Is Back: The Possibility of Endoscopic Forehead Lift Surgery and the Evidence Behind It

Hello.

I am Heo Jae-won, a board-certified plastic surgeon at 3D Plastic Surgery, where I perform anti-aging plastic surgery.

Lindsay Lohan, who was a teen star in the 2000s, became a hot topic again in 2024.

This time, however, it was not simply because of a comeback project, but because of her remarkable change in appearance.

Seeing her seemingly return to the look she had at the peak of her career, as if time had been turned back, I had this thought as a plastic surgeon:

'Could such a dramatic change really be possible with skincare alone?'

After analyzing it, I noticed structural changes that are difficult to explain with ordinary procedures, and I want to talk especially about the possibility of a surgery called an endoscopic forehead lift.

Lindsay Lohan's Appearance Changes Over Time

2004: The Natural Beauty of Her Prime

Do you remember Lindsay Lohan, who became a star with Mean Girls?

At the time, she was the dream of teenagers around the world with her clear skin, sparkling eyes, and signature red hair.

Back then, she was such a natural beauty that there were no rumors of plastic surgery at all.

2010: The Beginning of Visible Change

As personal problems and legal disputes piled up, changes in her appearance also began to emerge.

Her skin tone became duller, her jawline became less defined, and overall changes due to swelling and lifestyle factors became more noticeable.

Experts analyze the changes during this period as the result of lifestyle and stress rather than surgical intervention.

2019: Accelerated Aging

When she appeared on Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club, she showed significant signs of aging despite being only 33 years old.

In particular, the eye area looked less defined, nasolabial folds were deeper, and the skin elasticity around the mouth had clearly declined.

This period is considered the low point of her appearance changes.

2024: A Dramatic Rejuvenation Effect

And in 2024, people were stunned when they saw her appear to promote her comeback project.

The media was flooded with reactions like, "She looks 10 years younger" and "Her face has been completely reset."

Is such a change really possible naturally? How did experts view it?

Analysis by Overseas Doctors

Plastic surgeons overseas also paid attention to this change.

Dr. Betteridge speculated that she likely had nearly the full package: eyelid surgery, nose surgery, a face lift, fillers, and even laser treatments.

Dr. Chiu mentioned treatments such as radiofrequency lifting and volume restoration around the eyes, along with care before and after pregnancy.

What did Lindsay Lohan say?

Lindsay Lohan's father firmly said, "She never had surgery."

He said she only had Botox, fillers, peeling, and laser treatments. Her dermatologist also said that the secret was "careful skincare and laser treatments."

But is that really the case? Medically speaking, it seems like a different story.

The part I focused on was the forehead. Clues Found in the Eyebrows and Forehead

After comparing the photos in detail, the most noticeable changes were in the forehead and eyebrow area.

These were changes that could not be explained by simple cosmetics or procedures.

�a

In 2019:

• The space between the eyebrows and eyes was too narrow, making her look cramped

• She had a typical Western-style arched eyebrow

• The upper eyelids sagged heavily and covered the eyes

• The eyebrows were positioned below the orbital bone

�a

In 2024:

• The inner brows were lifted much higher

• The brows changed from an arched shape to a straighter shape

• The double eyelid line became higher

• The eyebrows moved above the orbital bone

These changes are not a coincidence. They are very similar to the typical results of a forehead lift.

What Is an Endoscopic Forehead Lift?

An endoscopic forehead lift is also called an eyebrow lift.

It is a surgery in which several small openings, about 1-2 cm each, are made within the hairline, and the forehead is lifted while being viewed through an endoscope.

To briefly explain the procedure:

�a

1. The tissue is widely released deep within the forehead
2. The muscles that pull the eyebrows downward are weakened
3. The forehead muscles are helped to function better

This reduces the force of the forehead pulling down on the eyes, and the eyebrows naturally move upward.

�a

What changes after this surgery?

• The eyes open more clearly

• The double eyelids become more defined

• The eyebrows return to their proper position

• The overall impression becomes brighter and sharper

In particular, when the inner brows are lifted, the center of the eye area that felt cramped opens up, creating a naturally more youthful look.

�a

Would Botox Alone Not Work?

Procedures like Botox and fillers have limitations. It is difficult to raise the eyebrows above the orbital bone or structurally change the inner brow area.

In particular, the dramatic change in eyebrow position and the increase in double eyelid height seen in Lindsay cannot be explained by simple procedures alone.

In conclusion

�a

Lindsay Lohan's 2024 change seems more accurately described not as simply "looking prettier," but as "the structure has been refined."

Her eyebrows were lifted, her forehead looked lighter, and her eyes came back to life.

Of course, she denies having surgery, but from a plastic surgery perspective, the changes are very similar to the results of an endoscopic forehead lift.

In particular, the characteristics of a center-forehead lift are appearing almost exactly as expected.

If you ever look in the mirror and think, "My eyebrows look more drooped than before," "My eyes seem smaller," or "My expression looks heavy," then?

The problem may not be your eyes, but your forehead. In such cases, lifting the forehead may be more effective than eye surgery.

However, all of this is only an analysis based on publicly available photos.

Only she herself would know what procedures she actually had.
