Hello,

I am Park Jung-geun, Director of Faceplus Clinic,

a plastic surgery clinic at Gangnam Station.

The area of the face that first determines one's impression

is often, surprisingly, above the eyes.

When the overall atmosphere looks heavy even without opening the eyes wide,

or when the expression feels stiff,

it is necessary to calmly identify the cause of the change.

In the consultation room,

‘I often hear that I look tired.’

‘I'm concerned because people say my impression has become stronger than before.’

are common statements.

These changes usually don't happen suddenly,

but rather accumulate slowly until they are distinctly felt at some point.

Forehead changes are not just a simple wrinkle problem.

As one enters middle and old age, the forehead area experiences

not only a decrease in skin elasticity,

but also a weakening of the very structure that supported the eyebrows and eyelids,

affecting them together.

In this process, more effort might be required to open the eyes,

or excessive use of the forehead can make the expression appear stiff.

Many people considering a forehead lift don't just want to solve ‘one wrinkle’,

but often start considering it due to an impression that looks less relaxed than before.

Therefore, if forehead changes are approached simply as a matter of removing a single wrinkle,

satisfaction might actually decrease.

Realistic concerns about cost and scars

When thinking about a forehead lift, concerns about cost and scars naturally follow.

Questions like ‘Will there be many scars?’ or

‘Will the burden be greater than I expect?’ are perfectly natural.

Rather than judging this based on vague expectations or anxieties,

it's important to understand the surgical scope, approach, and recovery process together.

Especially for middle-aged and older women, they often prioritize ‘how naturally it is accepted in daily life’ over the extent of the change. Therefore,

adjustments within the necessary scope, rather than excessive correction, often lead to much more satisfactory results.

To leave a comfortable impression that isn't overdone and lasts long

I believe the most important criterion for a forehead lift is not

‘how much it changes’ but ‘what kind of impression it leaves’.

Since the forehead is directly connected to facial expressions,

excessive correction can make the eyes look unnatural or the impression appear stiff.

Therefore, during the procedure, it is necessary to consider and adjust the current tension of the forehead,

habits of using the eyebrows,

and the overall balance of the face.

By approaching it with not only the immediate post-operative appearance in mind,

but also the process of natural settling over time,

the results can be accepted as a positive change rather than a burden.

Choices in middle and old age require more careful consideration.

Facial changes at this stage are not a matter to be decided in the short term.

It requires a process of looking back at the long-accumulated flow of impressions and expressions,

and calmly organizing where the current concerns originated.

As much as the decision to undergo facial surgery is daunting, I believe the stress and worries leading up to it must have been significant.

I hope that the choice made after sufficient consideration

will result in a comfortable change rather than a burden, and with that wish, I conclude this article.
