Hello
I’m Dr. Kim Soondong, the head of SOON Plastic Surgery
But first, what is a forehead lift (brow lift)?
Simply put it, it's a procedure to lift the forehead
Whats are the effects of a forehead lift surgery?
When forehead is lifted
the brows are also lifted
which helps reduce forehead wrinkles
and lesser wrinkles at the ridge of your nose
Since the brows are lifted
For people who have shorter distance between the brows and eye
will find a solution as the eyebrows go up
(Before surgery / After surgery)
(Procedure method for forehead lift)
(Coronal incision endoscopy) There are two methods for the forehead lifts
(Endotine thread) And I'll explain the two methods for correction
For incision methods, when there is no endoscopy
There is a method of coronal incision
Nowadays we don’t use it anymore
So there’s no need of explanation
(Endoscopy) You can think of it as doing the forehead lift with endoscopy
The incision line will be through the hairline
there will be 5 spots incised
Actually there are clinics incising 3 spots
and clinics incising 5 spots
By right incising 5 spots
is the more accurate stripping method
There are 3 methods for correction
I’m not going to explain to you about the method using a screw
Firstly, using a thread to correct it
is to make a tunnel in the bones
tie the thread
and fix the forehead scalp there
And second is using an endotine to fix it
Let me show you an endotine
This is an endotine
and there are various types of it
For fixing it at the forehead
it's this
When you fix this at your head
This protruding ones will support the skin
Endotine is made using a plant-based material
so it can melt
It takes about 1 year to melt
and also one more thing for endotine
It's been FDA approved
so you can see this as that it's very safe to use
(Duration of forehead lift)
I will tell you about the duration of the forehead lift
I can’t tell you it' eternal
From experienced, there has been nothing different for about 10 years
But the important thing in here
There are some who would say
Something about going back the same
Not in less than a year
That's probably because of the stripping difference
The important thing for the forehead lift is the stripping
If the stripping is performed well
the duration could not only last 10 years
but for much longer years
(Recovery process for forehead lifts)
For the recovery process for the forehead lifts
about after a week, the most swelling on the forehead would have subsided
But instead the swelling moved down to the face
but depending on the person
Some patients who tends to get easily swollen on their face
would last 2 weeks? A little over 2 weeks
But normally it'll only take around 2 weeks for it to all subside
(Key points in forehead lifts)
The important thing for the forehead lifts
is depending how well the stripping is done
If the stripping goes well
(Endotine) No matter what is being used such as
(Thread) endotine or threads
the surgery will turn out well
So you should remember that the most important thing is
How well the stripping process is
and is something you should consider
Then how can you tell if the stripping was a success?
The only way to find that out
is the duration
So, if a patient's result goes back to before after 3 months?
That means...
(Not enough stripping) stripping of the skin was not performed enough
So I recommend for you to
check out the web sites of the clinics
and see if they have videos
that are either 5 years old or 7 years old
and by checking them out
I think that would be the most accurate information
So I have explain a bit about forehead lifts
It's a surgery that performs with endoscope
There are threads and endotines
And for your information there are few different types of endotine
There are 2 main types
And I want to inform you
that using genuine endotine
that has been approved by the FDA is important
As this is something that is going into our body
(The most expensive and the best one) It's one of my principle to use
the most expensive and the best products!
