Do Your Eyes Look Heavy and Pressed? Endoscopic Brow Lift and Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision)
A case study of a 20-year-old female patient who achieved clear, glamorous eyes through a combined endoscopic brow lift and revision ptosis correction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Medical History: 2 previous partial incision double eyelid surgeries, 2 previous lateral and lower canthoplasties
# Complaints: The narrow space between the eyebrows and eyes creates a bulging and stuffy feeling; the double eyelid line looks pressed down, making the gaze appear slightly fierce.
# Desired Outcome: Wants a clear, well-defined, and glamorous line!
* Consultation
# There is a sense of stuffiness because the space between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow. Simply re-fixing the double eyelid will not improve this feeling. In fact, it might make that area look even more bulging.
# We planned to resolve the narrow space between the eyebrows and eyes through a brow lift, and use revision eye surgery to correct the eyelid opening strength while making the line more visible.
# The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Ideal eye shapes are achieved only when there is harmony between these two areas!

1. What is the first change you notice? Even though a semi-out double eyelid line that is clearly visible from the front was created, the eyelids do not look bulging at all, right? A very sharp and clear line has been achieved.
2. The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Ideal eye shapes are achieved only when there is harmony between these two areas!

✔️ Concerns before surgery: I was unhappy because my double eyelid line had dropped too low! For the revision, I wanted the line to be clearly visible when I opened my eyes! However, since the space between my eyes and eyebrows was narrow, I was worried that just raising the line would make me look burdened.✔️ Satisfaction after surgery: Dr. Yeong-moon Yoo at VIBE solved all these concerns at once! He recommended the right surgeries to meet my needs (raising the line while avoiding a burdened look). By combining incisional ptosis correction revision with a brow lift, the line is now clearly visible when I open my eyes as I wanted, and the space between my eyes and eyebrows has widened so it doesn’t look heavy! Also, it’s been 3 months now and the sensation in my forehead has almost completely returned, so there’s no discomfort!! ☺️👍 My friends keep asking where I had it done because it turned out so well. - Real Patient Review

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are endoscopic forehead lift and eye revision surgery often performed together?
Yes, they are often performed together. If the space between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow, making the eyes look stuffy, simply re-fixing the double eyelid line can make it appear even more bulging. Therefore, a forehead lift is performed to secure space, and eye revision surgery corrects the strength of eye opening to create harmonious eyes.
When does forehead sensation return after a forehead lift?
Typically, sensation almost fully returns about 3 months after surgery. The patient in this case also expressed satisfaction, stating that forehead sensation had almost returned by the third month after surgery and they experienced no discomfort.
Is it possible to undergo endoscopic forehead lift and revision blepharoplasty even with a history of previous double eyelid surgery?
Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case also had a history of two partial incision double eyelid surgeries and two canthoplasty (lateral and lower) procedures, and achieved satisfactory results through endoscopic forehead lift and incisional revision blepharoplasty.
What changes can be expected after endoscopic forehead lift and incisional revision blepharoplasty?
You can expect clear double eyelids where the line is well visible from the front, without the eyelids appearing bulky. Additionally, the space between the eyes and eyebrows will widen, improving the stuffy appearance and leading to a refreshed impression.
Can the forehead and eyes not be operated on separately?
No, the forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. It is important to plan the surgery by considering both areas together, as the harmony between these two regions is necessary to achieve an ideal eye shape.
