Natural Transformation with Forehead Lift & Ptosis Correction!
A case study of a woman in her 40s achieving a brighter, more youthful look through endoscopic forehead lift, ptosis correction, and lower blepharoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 40s
# Primary Concerns
- Significant eyebrow drooping and a sleepy, tired appearance
* Consultation
# Since the forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately, we planned to address eyelid sagging through an endoscopic forehead lift.
# We planned to create a larger, more refreshed impression through ptosis correction and lateral/lower canthoplasty.
# For wrinkles and sagging under the eyes, we planned to resolve them with lower blepharoplasty while creating natural-looking ‘aegyo-sal’ (under-eye rolls).
* Surgical Plan
# Endoscopic Forehead Lift
# Non-incisional Ptosis Correction
# Lateral and Lower Canthoplasty
# Lower Blepharoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
1. By securing space between the eyebrows and eyes through the forehead lift, the overall impression looks much brighter and a clearer double eyelid line has been formed compared to before surgery. Additionally, as wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows are smoothed out, the forehead contour becomes softer and more aesthetically pleasing.
2. The sleepy appearance was improved through ptosis correction and lateral/lower canthoplasty.
3. When performing lower blepharoplasty, the orbicularis oculi muscle must be firmly suspended and fixed to prevent complications such as ectropion or easy recurrence.
4. Natural results are the most important factor in anti-aging surgery. If the change in impression before and after surgery is too drastic, it can feel burdensome and difficult to adjust to!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the effects of a forehead lift?
A forehead lift can brighten your impression by securing the space between your eyebrows and eyes, and create a clear double eyelid line. It can also smooth out wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows, resulting in a softer and more aesthetically pleasing forehead contour.
How can sleepy-looking eyes be improved?
Sleepy-looking eyes can be improved through non-incisional ptosis correction and lateral canthoplasty with lower eyelid descent. These procedures make the eyes look bigger and more refreshed, helping to create an overall brighter and more vibrant impression.
What is important during lower blepharoplasty?
During lower blepharoplasty, it is crucial to ensure secure orbicularis oculi muscle suspension. This is an essential step to prevent ectropion or recurrence that may occur after surgery.
What is most important in anti-aging surgery?
In anti-aging surgery, natural results are the most important. If the change in impression before and after surgery is too drastic, patients may feel burdened and find it difficult to adapt, so natural changes should be pursued.
Can forehead lift and ptosis correction be performed together?
Yes, they can be performed together. Since the forehead and eyes influence each other, a comprehensive plan can be made to address eyelid sagging with an endoscopic forehead lift and improve sleepy-looking eyes with non-incisional ptosis correction.
How can under-eye wrinkles and sagging be resolved?
Under-eye wrinkles and sagging can be resolved with lower blepharoplasty. Through this surgery, you can create natural aegyo-sal (under-eye fat pads) while improving the under-eye area, resulting in a younger and more vibrant appearance.
