Surgical Range & Natural Results

As the forehead begins to sag, the eyebrows may move downward and the distance between the eyebrows and eyes may become shorter, making the eyes look heavy or closed off. In particular, if forehead wrinkles develop as the eyebrows descend or if you use your forehead muscles heavily when opening your eyes, the issue may not be limited to the eye area alone.

In these cases, rather than looking only at the area around the eyes, it is necessary to assess the position of the forehead and eyebrows as well as the distance between the eyes and eyebrows. At Jayjun Plastic Surgery, these factors are also evaluated comprehensively when consulting patients about an endoscopic forehead lift.

So what exactly is an endoscopic forehead lift, and how much change can it create?

When people think of an endoscopic forehead lift, it is easy to assume that it is simply a surgery that pulls the forehead upward. However, an endoscopic forehead lift does not simply pull the forehead skin upward. The actual surgical range is broader than many people expect.

The surgical range of an endoscopic forehead lift covers a relatively wide area centered on the forehead and extending to part of the crown, the eyebrows, and the temple area. Therefore, rather than thinking of it as a surgery that simply raises the eyebrows, it is better to understand it as a procedure that evaluates the tissues around the forehead and eyebrows as a whole and lifts the sagging areas upward.

In particular, many people imagine that an endoscopic forehead lift only raises the area directly above the eyebrows. In reality, the changes are not limited to the area above the eyebrows and may affect the overall region from part of the crown, across the forehead, and down to the area around the eyebrows.

Of course, the amount of lift varies from person to person. This is because it can differ depending on factors such as skin elasticity, the degree of sagging, forehead height, and eyebrow position.

Changes You Can Expect From an Endoscopic Forehead Lift

So what changes can you expect from an endoscopic forehead lift?

One of the first changes to consider is improving a heavy or closed-off appearance caused by a short distance between the eyes and eyebrows. As the forehead sags and the eyebrows move downward, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows can naturally become shorter. This can make the eyes look heavy or give the overall face a tired appearance. By lifting the sagging forehead and eyebrows upward and creating more space around the eyes, the procedure can help create a more open and defined appearance.

For this reason, endoscopic forehead lifts were once commonly considered a surgery mainly for middle-aged patients. However, these days it is difficult to say that the procedure is only for middle-aged people.

Even younger people may have forehead sagging or naturally low eyebrow positions, and some may have a short distance between the eyes and eyebrows that creates a heavy or closed-off appearance. In these cases, an endoscopic forehead lift may be considered regardless of age.

Another change that can be expected involves forehead wrinkles.

When the forehead sags, you may develop a habit of using the forehead muscles to open the eyes more widely. Repeating this movement can make forehead wrinkles more noticeable.

During an endoscopic forehead lift, the procedure also involves weakening the muscles that pull the forehead and eyebrows downward. This can help move the sagging forehead and eyebrows upward while reducing the repeated tension placed on the forehead.

As the position of the eyebrows and forehead changes, the overall facial appearance can change as well. In particular, if the area around the eyes previously looked narrow or closed off, increasing the space between the eyes and eyebrows can make the upper face appear more open and spacious.

However, there is one important point to keep in mind.

It Looked Very Lifted During Surgery, So Why Does It Look Less Lifted Than I Expected Over Time?

You may have this question. During an endoscopic forehead lift, the strength of the muscles that pull the forehead and eyebrows downward is weakened, but it is not completely eliminated. Because downward-pulling forces continue to act on the face, even if the tissues are lifted and fixed as high as possible immediately after surgery, some loosening may occur as the tissues settle over time.

Therefore, there can be a difference between the appearance immediately after surgery and the final appearance after the tissues have settled. The lift may look slightly less pronounced than initially expected. If you are not aware of this, you may feel after surgery that it did not lift as much as you thought it would.

Lifting as Much as Possible Is Not the Goal

However, the goal of an endoscopic forehead lift is not simply to raise the eyebrows as much as possible. In fact, if they are lifted excessively, the eyebrow shape may look unnatural or may not harmonize with the overall facial appearance. Therefore, it is important to determine an appropriate position that suits your facial structure.

Therefore, before surgery, rather than simply asking how many centimeters it will lift, it is better to evaluate how much the forehead and eyebrows are currently sagging, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows, and the elasticity and condition of the skin and tissues. Ultimately, what matters is not lifting as much as possible, but finding a position and natural balance that suit your facial structure.

If you are considering an endoscopic forehead lift, it is helpful to evaluate your current forehead and eyebrow position, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows, and the degree of skin and tissue sagging to determine what kind of change you actually need. At Jayjun Plastic Surgery, these factors are also considered when determining a surgical approach suited to each individual.

An endoscopic forehead lift is not simply a surgery to raise the eyebrows. It is a procedure that requires consideration of the overall balance between the forehead, eyebrows, and eye area.

Therefore, before deciding on surgery, it is important to carefully determine what can be improved based on your current condition and how much change you can realistically expect after surgery before making a surgical plan.
