Hello~

your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)

​

​

Today, we will be talking about the forehead lift,

and Dr. Shim Jeong-hwan is here to explain it to us.

Shall we learn more about the forehead lift?

​

A forehead lift is a surgery that releases the retaining ligaments around the temporal region and eyes, as well as the depressor supercilii muscles, and then pulls the forehead skin to fix it to the bone.

If the ligaments or muscles are not properly released, the eyebrows may look significantly lifted right after the surgery,

but they can quickly drop back down over time. Therefore, properly releasing the ligaments and muscles is the most crucial part.

​

In the past, a long incision along the hairline was required to release these ligaments and muscles, but with the introduction of endoscopes,

it has become possible to perform the surgery with minimal scarring through small incisions using an endoscope.

​

​

There are two methods for fixing the tissue to the bone: using an Endotine or drilling small holes directly into the bone to secure it with threads.

​

To understand how a forehead lift surgery is performed, it will be easier to grasp if you look at the surgical method image below~

​

You can think of the effect of a forehead lift as a surgery that elevates the eyebrows.

Shall we also find out who typically benefits the most from a forehead lift?

In addition,

5. If your double eyelids are already set to the maximum height for your eyes and cannot be made any higher.

6. If a large amount of skin needs to be removed from the upper eyelids (thick skin drooping makes the double eyelid look deep, thick, and unnatural + the distance between the eyebrows and eyes becomes narrow).

7. A forehead lift is effective when the distance between the eyebrows and the eyes is narrow.

​

You can imagine the look of your double eyelids being exposed when you lift your eyebrows with your hands.

It is highly effective not only for older individuals with sagging eyebrows but also for younger patients

who have a narrow space between their eyebrows and eyes, causing a heavy look and hiding their double eyelids.

It can also correct asymmetrical eyebrow positions to some extent.

​

Since the depressor supercilii muscles that cause frown lines are released, the frown lines disappear, providing a permanent Botox-like effect and widening the forehead.

For those who already have a wide forehead, a forehead reduction lift may be necessary.
