Refresh the Upper Face with Endotine Forehead Lift!

Refresh the Upper Face with Endotine Forehead Lift!



Aging is a natural physical change that comes with getting older. However, as life expectancy increases and social activity ages rise, the middle-aged are also meticulously managing themselves to create a youthful image.


In particular, the forehead and eyes are areas where age is immediately visible, and as skin elasticity decreases and sagging begins, one may appear older than their actual age. Also, since these are the areas where eyes first land, the more severe the sagging, the greater the impact on one's appearance complex.

These days, many people undergo mini-forehead lifts to create a smooth forehead and balanced eyes. However, there are various methods of lifting surgery, and the results vary depending on how the skin is fixed, making the choice of procedure crucial.


What is the difference between full incision and endoscopic methods?


The most common lifting surgery from past to present is the full incision method.  This involves making a long incision inside the hairline, pulling up the skin, and excising the remaining tissue before suturing. It has the advantage of lifting the eye area, glabella, and forehead wrinkles all at once, but leaves a long scar, which is a major drawback.  The endoscopic method complements these drawbacks.



Endoscopic forehead lift involves an incision within 2cm inside the scalp, allowing instruments to enter through the small space to dissect and lift the tissue, resulting in less scarring. Additionally, the smaller incision area allows for quicker healing, making it more preferred by working professionals who find it hard to take time off.


Lifting varies depending on the fixation method.



There are two fixation methods for forehead lift surgery. One method involves using thread to tie and pull the periosteum, fascia, and muscles together as a whole.  However, due to the high burden of tying multiple tissues and the limitations in lifting, many people nowadays opt for Endotine. Endotine uses bioabsorbable implants to pull and fix sagging skin tissues. It has five pointed parts and is fixed by inserting them in a triangular shape under the skin. Over time, it gradually absorbs, causing no foreign body sensation and exerting low tension on the pulled tissues, thus reducing the physical burden. 

It demonstrates particularly strong fixation, making it possible to create a youthful face even with severe sagging of the forehead and eyes, leading to high satisfaction.


Who is suitable for Endotine application?



Our forehead lift using absorbable implant fixation helps efficiently improve deep and thick wrinkles between the forehead and glabella. It is also suitable when one eyebrow is drooping, making the eyes appear asymmetrical, or when severe eyelid sagging makes upper blepharoplasty difficult.


Especially if the eyes have become significantly smaller due to overall skin elasticity decline, lifting with a forehead lift rather than double eyelid surgery or upper blepharoplasty can help improve the impression.


Effective lifting is possible,

Using Endotine absorbable implants instead of skin incisions during forehead lift surgery is effective for improving forehead and glabellar wrinkles, drooping eyebrows, and eyelids. Screw fixation and sutures are also options, but they have the downside of weaker fixation and potential loosening.


On the other hand, Endotine increases overall skin fixation, evenly distributing the pulling force and preventing a fierce look. Thus, if upper face improvement is needed, it is better to consider the implant method first over full incision or thread lifting.




Delicate dissection is also an important part.

Even with Endotine forehead lift, endoscopic equipment is used for skin incision and tissue dissection, making the skill of the medical staff important. Being able to precisely and widely dissect through a small incision allows the overall tightening of the upper face skin.


Since the skill and expertise of the medical team greatly influence the procedure, if you are planning an improvement, start with a one-on-one consultation at Jayjun.

Full Face Fat Grafting : Create a Vibrant Face (#FullFaceFatGrafting #FacialFatGrafting)

  "Full Face Fat Grafting : Create a Vibrant Face " When aging starts with age, wrinkles may appear on the face, but on the other hand, the flesh on the cheeks or under the eyes may also disappear, giving the impression of stiffness and fatigue. The strange thing is that belly fat is not easy to lose, but facial fat is very easy to lose, making you look old and tired.

Low Nose Surgery and Its Transformative Effect!

 Low Nose Surgery and Its Transformative Effect! The nose, located at the center of the face, connects the forehead, philtrum, lips, and chin. As a result, the nose is considered one of the key elements that not only balances the entire face but also influences one's overall impression. Since it is the only part of the face that has a three-dimensional shape, even a few millimeters of difference in angle and height can significantly affect the facial image. Therefore, many people who have a complex about their nose shape are looking into rhinoplasty to achieve their desired shape or height. The nose can come in various types such as a hooked nose, low nose, short nose, long nose, arrow-shaped nose, crooked nose, and bulbous nose. These different nose shapes each give a unique impression, and the concerns people have can vary depending on the type. In particular, a low nose might make the face appear less three-dimensional, as the nose does not stand out compared to other facial fea...
