Endoscopic Forehead Lift: How to Enhance Effectiveness!

 Endoscopic Forehead Lift: How to Enhance Effectiveness!

Aging is a natural bodily change that comes with getting older. Particularly, sagging of the forehead and eye area becomes noticeable, often making one look older due to decreased skin elasticity. To address these concerns, more people are opting for endoscopic forehead lifts recently.

However, many people considering an endoscopic forehead lift often ask,

"Is it true that the effect of a forehead lift is short-lived?"

Or "Are there ways to extend the duration of a forehead lift's effectiveness?"

These questions are frequently asked. So today, we will look into these questions in detail.

The duration of endoscopic forehead lift effects!

To get straight to the point, the effects of a forehead lift typically last about 10 years. However, some patients feel that the duration of the forehead lift is short. There are various reasons for this, but the main reason is often insufficient dissection during the forehead lift.

Principle of endoscopic forehead lift

Usually, an endoscopic forehead lift is very effective for addressing sagging eyes, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows, and wrinkles. It involves making 2-5 small incisions, inserting instruments through these openings to dissect the bone and skin, then fixing them, resulting in minimal scarring while achieving a lifting effect on the upper face. However, to maintain the effects of an endoscopic forehead lift for a long time, it is important to extend the dissection range.

The wider the dissection range, the longer the effect lasts, so it is better to choose a wider dissection even if the recovery period is slightly longer.

The importance of sufficient dissection

As emphasized, sufficient and wide dissection is necessary to enhance the effect and prolong the duration of an endoscopic forehead lift. Dissection refers to the process of separating tissues during surgery, and if this process is not adequately performed, the lifting effect may be reduced.

Being able to perform detailed and wide dissection through narrow incisions can effectively lift the sagging skin of the upper face.

Therefore, to achieve satisfactory results, it is important to find an experienced medical professional, have thorough consultations, and proceed with the surgery.

Suitable candidates for endoscopic forehead lift

Endoscopic forehead lift is suitable for

those with deep and thick wrinkles between the forehead and glabella,

those with asymmetrical eyes due to one eyebrow sagging,

those with severe eyelid sagging making upper blepharoplasty difficult,

It is effective for those with these concerns.

Especially, if the overall skin elasticity of the eye area has decreased, making the eyes look smaller than before, it is more beneficial to try lifting with a forehead lift rather than double eyelid surgery or upper blepharoplasty for a more favorable appearance.

Ways to enhance the effects of endoscopic forehead lift

First,

 ensure thorough dissection of the corrugator muscles.

The corrugator muscles in the glabella area must be thoroughly cut to lift the center of the forehead and reduce the likelihood of it dropping back.

Second, 

widening the dissection range in the temporal area is important to lift the entire forehead.

Third, 

sufficiently dissecting the ligaments around the orbit to lift the entire forehead is effective.

These methods can enhance the effects of an endoscopic forehead lift and help maintain the lifting effect for over 10 years.

An endoscopic forehead lift is an effective way to improve sagging of the forehead and eye area due to aging. The effects of a forehead lift usually last about 10 years. However, if sufficient dissection is not performed, the duration can be shorter.

Therefore, it is important to find an experienced specialist, have thorough consultations, and maintain rigorous post-operative care to maximize the duration of the effects. 

Considering an endoscopic forehead lift is one way to alleviate concerns about looking older and to regain youthful, elastic skin. Make a well-informed and careful decision to achieve satisfactory results.
