Struggling with a Heavy and Sharp Impression (feat. Forehead Lift & Double Eyelid Surgery)

👀 Pre-Surgery Concerns: Sharp Impression, Heavy Eyes

This patient visited us with complex concerns regarding their overall impression.

• The distance between the eyebrows and eyes was narrow, with sagging brows creating a hooded, bulging eyelid appearance.
• The near-monolid eye shape resulted in a tired and sharp look.
• The overall impression felt heavy and aggressive, causing the patient to feel self-conscious when looking in the mirror.

📝 Surgical Plan

Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

• Naturally lift the forehead muscles and eyebrows using an endoscope.
• Secure space between the eyebrows and eyes → Alleviate the bulging eyelid appearance.
• Create clear eye lines with incisional double eyelid surgery for a softer, more defined impression.

🛌 Post-Surgery Changes: A Soft and Sophisticated Image

After the recovery period, the patient experienced a very satisfying transformation.

• As the eyebrows were lifted, the space between the forehead and eyes widened naturally, eliminating the heavy and stuffy impression.
• The incisional double eyelid surgery made the eyes look clear and vibrant.
• The entire face gained a sense of dimension, shifting toward a more sophisticated atmosphere.
• Most importantly, the patient regained confidence due to feedback that they looked better in a way that ‘didn’t look like they had surgery.’

😊 Post-Surgery Satisfaction

The patient reported a significant boost in self-esteem and felt much more confident in daily activities, such as taking photos or meeting people.

‘I hear that my impression has softened a lot. Now, I smile when I look in the mirror.’

Hearing this was truly rewarding.
