Hello

1
00:00:00.705 --> 00:00:03.155
I’m Dr. Kim Soondong, the head of SOON  Plastic Surgery 

2
00:00:05.350 --> 00:00:07.334
But first, what is a forehead lift (brow lift)?

3
00:00:07.334 --> 00:00:09.701
Simply put it, it's a procedure to lift the forehead 

4
00:00:09.701 --> 00:00:12.601
Whats are the effects of a forehead lift surgery?

5
00:00:12.601 --> 00:00:13.939
When forehead is lifted

6
00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:15.440
the brows are also lifted

7
00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:17.251
which helps reduce forehead wrinkles

8
00:00:17.258 --> 00:00:18.351
and lesser wrinkles at the ridge of your nose

9
00:00:18.351 --> 00:00:19.583
Since the brows are lifted

10
00:00:19.583 --> 00:00:23.383
For people who have shorter distance between the brows and eye

11
00:00:23.383 --> 00:00:25.501
will find a solution as the eyebrows go up

12
00:00:25.501 --> 00:00:37.402
(Before surgery / After surgery)

13
00:00:37.402 --> 00:00:39.052
(Procedure method for forehead lift)

14
00:00:39.052 --> 00:00:42.063
(Coronal incision endoscopy)
There are two methods for the forehead lifts

15
00:00:42.066 --> 00:00:44.616
(Endotine thread)
And I'll explain the two methods for correction

16
00:00:44.616 --> 00:00:47.566
For incision methods, when there is no endoscopy

17
00:00:47.566 --> 00:00:49.166
There is a method of coronal incision

18
00:00:49.166 --> 00:00:50.916
Nowadays we don’t use it anymore

19
00:00:50.916 --> 00:00:52.216
So there’s no need of explanation

20
00:00:52.216 --> 00:00:55.947
(Endoscopy)
You can think of it as doing the forehead lift with endoscopy

21
00:00:55.947 --> 00:00:57.967
The incision line will be through the hairline

22
00:00:57.967 --> 00:00:59.864
there will be 5 spots incised

23
00:00:59.864 --> 00:01:03.064
Actually there are clinics incising 3 spots 

24
00:01:03.064 --> 00:01:05.079
and clinics incising 5 spots

25
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.467
By right incising 5 spots

26
00:01:07.467 --> 00:01:11.153
is the more accurate stripping method

27
00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:13.961
There are 3 methods for correction

28
00:01:13.961 --> 00:01:16.461
I’m not going to explain to you about the method using a screw

29
00:01:16.461 --> 00:01:18.498
Firstly, using a thread to correct it

30
00:01:18.498 --> 00:01:20.348
is to make a tunnel in the bones

31
00:01:20.348 --> 00:01:21.711
tie the thread

32
00:01:21.711 --> 00:01:23.861
and fix the forehead scalp there

33
00:01:23.861 --> 00:01:26.861
And second is using an endotine to fix it

34
00:01:26.861 --> 00:01:28.811
Let me show you an endotine

35
00:01:28.811 --> 00:01:30.261
This is an endotine

36
00:01:30.261 --> 00:01:31.762
and there are various types of it

37
00:01:31.762 --> 00:01:33.353
For fixing it at the forehead

38
00:01:33.353 --> 00:01:34.403
it's this

39
00:01:36.984 --> 00:01:39.703
When you fix this at your head

40
00:01:39.703 --> 00:01:42.204
This protruding ones will support the skin

41
00:01:42.204 --> 00:01:45.151
Endotine is made using a plant-based material

42
00:01:45.151 --> 00:01:46.454
so it can melt

43
00:01:46.454 --> 00:01:48.854
It takes about 1 year to melt

44
00:01:48.873 --> 00:01:50.323
and also one more thing for endotine

45
00:01:50.323 --> 00:01:51.904
It's been FDA approved 

46
00:01:51.904 --> 00:01:54.304
so you can see this as that it's very safe to use

47
00:01:54.304 --> 00:01:56.054
(Duration of forehead lift)

48
00:01:56.054 --> 00:01:58.769
I will tell you about the duration of the forehead lift

49
00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:00.855
I can’t tell you it' eternal

50
00:02:00.876 --> 00:02:04.176
From experienced, there has been nothing different for about 10 years

51
00:02:04.176 --> 00:02:05.446
But the important thing in here

52
00:02:05.446 --> 00:02:07.255
There are some who would say


53
00:02:07.255 --> 00:02:08.939
Something about going back the same

54
00:02:08.939 --> 00:02:10.189
Not in less than a year

55
00:02:10.189 --> 00:02:12.092
That's probably because of the stripping difference 

56
00:02:12.092 --> 00:02:14.799
The important thing for the forehead lift is the stripping

57
00:02:14.799 --> 00:02:15.957
If the stripping is performed well

58
00:02:15.957 --> 00:02:17.790
the duration could not only last 10 years

59
00:02:17.790 --> 00:02:20.040
but for much longer years

60
00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:21.594
(Recovery process for forehead lifts)

61
00:02:21.594 --> 00:02:23.494
For the recovery process for the forehead lifts

62
00:02:23.494 --> 00:02:26.147
about after a week, the most swelling on the forehead would have subsided 

63
00:02:26.147 --> 00:02:27.847
But instead the swelling moved down to the face

64
00:02:27.847 --> 00:02:29.691
but depending on the person

65
00:02:29.691 --> 00:02:31.232
Some patients who tends to get easily swollen on their face

66
00:02:31.232 --> 00:02:33.732
would last 2 weeks? A little over 2 weeks

67
00:02:33.732 --> 00:02:36.782
But normally it'll only take around 2 weeks for it to all subside 

68
00:02:36.782 --> 00:02:38.574
(Key points in forehead lifts)

69
00:02:38.574 --> 00:02:41.375
The important thing for the forehead lifts

70
00:02:41.375 --> 00:02:43.833
is depending how well the stripping is done

71
00:02:43.833 --> 00:02:45.083
If the stripping goes well

72
00:02:45.083 --> 00:02:46.354
(Endotine)
No matter what is being used such as

73
00:02:46.354 --> 00:02:47.323
(Thread)
endotine or threads

74
00:02:47.323 --> 00:02:49.050
the surgery will turn out well

75
00:02:49.050 --> 00:02:52.350
So you should remember that the most important thing is

76
00:02:52.350 --> 00:02:54.180
How well the stripping process is 

77
00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:55.480
and is something you should consider 

78
00:02:55.480 --> 00:02:58.537
Then how can you tell if the stripping was a success? 

79
00:02:58.537 --> 00:02:59.890
The only way to find that out

80
00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:02.762
is the duration 

81
00:03:02.762 --> 00:03:05.990
So, if a patient's result goes back to before after 3 months?

82
00:03:05.990 --> 00:03:06.590
That means...

83
00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:08.490
(Not enough stripping)
stripping of the skin was not performed enough

84
00:03:08.512 --> 00:03:09.912
So I recommend for you to

85
00:03:09.912 --> 00:03:11.542
check out the web sites of the clinics 

86
00:03:11.542 --> 00:03:13.673
and see if they have videos

87
00:03:13.673 --> 00:03:14.758
that are either 5 years old or 7 years old

88
00:03:14.758 --> 00:03:16.940
and by checking them out

89
00:03:16.940 --> 00:03:18.540
I think that would be the most accurate information 

90
00:03:19.441 --> 00:03:23.641
So I have explain a bit about forehead lifts

91
00:03:23.664 --> 00:03:25.348
It's a surgery that performs with endoscope

92
00:03:25.348 --> 00:03:26.631
There are threads and endotines

93
00:03:26.631 --> 00:03:28.714
And for your information there are few different types of endotine

94
00:03:28.714 --> 00:03:30.064
There are 2 main types

95
00:03:30.064 --> 00:03:31.704
And I want to inform you 


96
00:03:31.715 --> 00:03:33.565
that using genuine endotine 

97
00:03:33.567 --> 00:03:35.218
that has been approved by the FDA is important

98
00:03:35.218 --> 00:03:36.940
As this is something that is going into our body 

99
00:03:36.940 --> 00:03:38.877
(The most expensive and the best one)
It's one of my principle to use 

100
00:03:38.877 --> 00:03:40.565
the most expensive and the best products! 

101
00:03:40.565 --> 00:04:00.214
