Forehead Lift Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Are deep forehead lines, sagging brows, or a tired-looking expression affecting your confidence? Forehead lift surgery—also known as a brow lift or upper facelift—is a powerful procedure that rejuvenates the upper face by lifting sagging skin, softening deep lines, and repositioning the brows to a more youthful height.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we offer advanced forehead lift techniques tailored to your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our board-certified surgeons combine artistic precision with cutting-edge technology to deliver natural-looking results that restore a refreshed, alert appearance—without the “overdone” look.
Why Choose Forehead Lift Surgery?
As we age, the forehead skin loses elasticity, and the underlying muscles weaken. This leads to:
- Deep horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Drooping or low-set eyebrows
- Sagging skin that causes a tired or angry appearance
- Hooding over the upper eyelids
- Uneven brow positioning
Forehead lift surgery effectively addresses these concerns by tightening the skin, smoothing wrinkles, and repositioning the brows—helping you look more rested, youthful, and approachable.
Tailored Techniques for Natural Rejuvenation
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we provide customized surgical solutions based on your facial structure, skin type, and degree of aging. We offer several types of forehead lift techniques to ensure optimal results with minimal scarring and downtime.
Forehead Lift Methods Include:
- Endoscopic Forehead Lift:
A minimally invasive technique using small incisions hidden in the hairline. A tiny camera and specialized tools lift the brows and smooth the forehead with minimal downtime. Ideal for younger patients or those with early signs of aging. - Coronal (Classic) Forehead Lift:
Involves a longer incision behind the hairline, allowing full access to the forehead muscles and skin. Suitable for patients with more advanced aging or deeper wrinkles. Also effective in shortening a long forehead. - Pretrichial (Hairline) Lift:
Best for patients with a high forehead. The incision is placed along the hairline to elevate the brows without altering forehead height. - Temporal Brow Lift (Lateral Lift):
Focuses on lifting the outer third of the eyebrows. Recommended for patients with drooping at the brow ends or hooded upper eyelids.
Each technique is carefully chosen to match your facial balance, hairline, and desired lift effect.
Consultation and Planning
A detailed consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic includes a full analysis of your upper face and expression patterns. We take time to understand your cosmetic concerns and design a treatment plan that enhances your features—never alters them.
We will:
- Assess skin elasticity, wrinkle depth, and brow position
- Discuss your aesthetic preferences and goals
- Review before-and-after images of similar patients
- Explain the pros and cons of each surgical method
- Provide a clear roadmap for recovery and results
Our goal is to empower you with the information you need to make the right decision for your face and lifestyle.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Forehead lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 1–2 hours depending on the technique.
Surgical Steps:
- Incisions: Made within the scalp, hairline, or along the temporal region—based on the chosen approach.
- Muscle Adjustment: The muscles responsible for frown lines and brow droop are either released or repositioned.
- Skin Repositioning: The skin is gently lifted and excess tissue is removed if necessary.
- Closure: Sutures are used to close the incisions, and a light dressing is applied.
The result is a smoother, more elevated brow and forehead area, with improved upper facial harmony.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is relatively quick, especially for endoscopic and lateral lift techniques.
- Swelling and bruising peak within the first 3–5 days and subside over 1–2 weeks
- Mild tightness or numbness at the incision sites is normal and fades over time
- Sutures are removed in 7–10 days (if non-absorbable)
- Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and sun exposure for 2–3 weeks
- Final results are visible within 1–2 months as tissues settle
We provide thorough aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your healing process.
