Fix-up Ptosis Correction (Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Incisional Ptosis Correction)

* Basic Information

# Male in his 30s

# Eye-opening muscle strength: Weak

# Skin thickness: Thick

# Primary complaints & goals: Due to weak eye-opening strength, I always lift my forehead to open my eyes. This has caused deep wrinkles on my forehead. I want to be able to open my heavy eyes more effortlessly.

* Consultation

# Because the eye-opening strength is weak, the patient constantly uses the forehead muscles, resulting in very deep forehead wrinkles.

# In cases with thick skin like this, performing only ‘ptosis correction’ carries the risk of the eyebrows dropping significantly after surgery, making the eyelids appear more bloated and unnaturally heavy.

# Therefore, it is advisable to perform an endoscopic forehead lift together to ensure the eyebrows remain in an ideal position after surgery.

# The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Harmony between these two areas is essential to achieve an ideal eye shape!

1. What is the most noticeable change? The forehead wrinkles have smoothed out, and the strained look from lifting the forehead is gone.

2. Can you see how the wrinkles and unevenness between the eyebrows and on the forehead have disappeared? It looks as if fat grafting and Botox were performed! Simply releasing the muscles that tightly hold the eyebrows during a forehead lift can smooth the forehead contour like this.

3. Despite the ptosis correction, the eyebrows are in an ideal position, so the eyelids do not look bloated or burdensome at all.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of surgery is Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

Fix-Up Ptosis Correction is a complex surgery that combines endoscopic forehead lift and incisional ptosis correction. Its purpose is to improve both forehead wrinkles caused by the habit of raising the forehead due to weak eye-opening strength and the eye shape simultaneously, achieving harmony between the eyes and forehead.

Is it difficult to improve forehead wrinkles with ptosis correction alone?

Yes, it can be difficult to improve forehead wrinkles with ptosis correction alone. Especially if the skin is thick, there is a risk that the eyebrows may drop and the eyelids may look more bulging and unnatural if only ptosis correction is performed, so it is advisable to combine it with a forehead lift.

Are forehead wrinkles also improved after Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

Yes, forehead wrinkles are also improved. By releasing the muscles that strongly hold the eyebrows through endoscopic forehead lift, forehead wrinkles and unevenness can be alleviated, making the forehead contour smoother as if fat grafting or Botox had been performed.

Can the eyelids look more bulging after surgery?

No, Fix-Up Ptosis Correction prevents the eyelids from looking bulging. By performing an endoscopic forehead lift simultaneously, the eyebrows are maintained in an ideal position, so even after ptosis correction, the eyelids do not look unnatural, and natural results can be achieved.

In what cases is Fix-Up Ptosis Correction recommended?

It is recommended for those who have deep forehead wrinkles due to frequently raising their forehead because of weak eye-opening strength, especially those with thick skin who are at risk of their eyelids looking unnatural with ptosis correction alone. It is suitable for those who desire harmonious improvement of both the eyes and forehead.
