Everything You Need to Know About Endoscopic Forehead Lift!

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

The forehead, located at the very top of the face, is a crucial area that determines one’s overall impression.

As wearing masks has become a daily routine, more people are focusing on enhancing the upper face—such as the eyes and forehead—rather than the lower face. Consequently, patients ranging from their 20s and 30s to their 70s are increasingly visiting VIBE Plastic Surgery.

What is a Forehead Lift?

An endoscopic forehead lift involves precise and microscopic dissection down to just above the eyebrows to lift the entire forehead and eye area. This achieves a facial lifting effect. By using an endoscope, the surgeon can view nerves and blood vessels in detail, increasing safety and reducing concerns about scarring.

Why an Endoscopic Forehead Lift is Necessary

While wrinkles usually stem from aging, certain facial expressions or habits when opening the eyes can cause forehead wrinkles, ptosis, and sagging eyebrows. We often see cases among the 2030 generation who are concerned about facial wrinkles for these reasons. In such cases, a forehead lift is often performed.

– Cases with Ptosis
When the eyelids cover the pupils, it can make one look sleepy and may even obstruct vision, causing discomfort. Due to a lack of strength in opening the eyes, people often strain their forehead or eyebrow muscles, leading to forehead and glabellar wrinkles. A forehead lift can improve this condition.

– Cases Needing Simultaneous Improvement of Deep Wrinkles and Sagging Skin
When skin elasticity drops along with wrinkles, the eyebrows gradually sag downward. This can bury existing double eyelid lines and narrow the distance between the eyes and eyebrows, creating a ‘stuffy’ or heavy impression. A forehead lift can significantly improve this look.

– Cases with Asymmetric Eyebrows
If the eyebrows are asymmetrical, the position of each brow can be finely adjusted to appear uniform. Additionally, if the narrow space between the eyes and eyebrows creates a frustrated look, pulling the area upward through a forehead lift can open up the eyes and brighten the overall impression.

Using a Full HD endoscope, the forehead skin is delicately dissected from the hairline down to the area above the eyebrows. After lifting the forehead skin, it is securely fixed using implants (Endotine) and sutures. Since the incisions are made very minutely along the hairline, they are barely visible, so you do not need to worry about scarring.

Precautions Before a Forehead Lift

While an endoscopic forehead lift may seem like a relatively simple procedure, it is still a surgical operation that requires careful consideration. Furthermore, because the forehead is an area where blood vessels and nerve tissues are intricately intertwined, it is best to decide on a surgical plan after a thorough consultation with a skilled plastic surgery specialist.
