As interest in youthful appearance spreads to all age groups, plastic surgery trends are also rapidly changing. Rather than surgeries that focused on hiding aging like in the past, ‘facial rejuvenation surgery’ that naturally improves the image while maintaining the original impression is attracting attention.In this trend, endoscopic forehead lift surgery is considered one of the surgeries in which interest is increasing not only among middle-aged and older people, but also among younger people.
In the past, endoscopic forehead lift was recognized as a surgery mainly for middle-aged people to improve deep forehead wrinkles or sagging eyelids due to aging. However, recently, there has been a steady increase in consultation inquiries from people in their 20s and 30s who want to make their eyes look more open without double eyelid surgery or who want to improve the cramped appearance due to the narrow space between the eyes and eyebrows.
Especially, surgeries performed using an endoscope are evaluated as less burdensome because the incisions are small and made inside the hairline, making scars almost invisible.
Endoscopic forehead lift is not a method of simply lifting the forehead skin, but is performed by comprehensively considering the relationship between the forehead muscles, eyebrows, and eyes. Even if the narrow space between your eyes and eyebrows creates a cramped appearance or if you overuse your forehead muscles, you can expect a natural lifting effect while minimizing muscle and nerve damage. Above all, the process of designing the desired eye shape and eyebrow position according to the balance of the individual's face acts as an important factor in determining the outcome of the surgery.
Kang Hyungjoo, director of Gangnam JAYJUN Plastic Surgery, explained, “Endoscopic forehead lift is not simply a surgery to raise saggy areas, but a surgery that analyzes the proportions of the entire face and muscle usage habits to transform a cramped appearance into an open, soft, and well-defined one.” He also explained, “Satisfaction is high even among those who want their eyes to look fresh without double eyelid surgery or among young people who are burdened by artificial changes.”
In addition, endoscopic forehead lift surgery can be expected to result in not only external changes but also functional improvements. In addition to improving forehead wrinkles and sagging eyelids, it can also help reduce eye fatigue or discomfort caused by using the forehead by relieving overly tense forehead muscles.
Director Kang emphasized, “During surgery, precise dissection down to the periosteum, rather than only at the skin surface, must be performed before lifting for the lifting to last for a long time. To achieve this, it is most important to draw up a surgical plan suited to the individual’s facial structure and condition through sufficient consultation with medical staff with abundant clinical experience.”
As the demand for natural facial changes increases, endoscopic forehead lift surgery is also becoming a personalized facial impression improvement surgery beyond simple facial rejuvenation surgery. It is advisable to select a method that is suitable for you through sufficient information and consultation with professional medical staff before surgery.
