Endoscopic Forehead Lift VS Double Eyelid Surgery: What Do I Need? feat. Vibe Plastic Surgery

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

When receiving a consultation for double eyelid surgery or revision eye surgery,

have you ever been recommended an endoscopic forehead lift

or ptosis correction?

You might have experienced this at least once.

​

​

If you are recommended a surgery you hadn't thought of like this,

you might not only be flustered but also immediately wonder if it's overtreatment.

These thoughts might cross your mind.

​

So today, we will explain why double eyelid surgery and endoscopic forehead lift

are necessary.

​

Went for Double Eyelid Surgery but Recommended an Endoscopic Forehead Lift?

​

If you went for a consultation only thinking about double eyelid surgery

but were recommended an endoscopic forehead lift,

since it's an unfamiliar procedure, you might wonder what kind of surgery it is,

and you might have a lot on your mind because the cost will also change.

​

✔️ If the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow

✔️ If there is sagging in the forehead and eyebrows themselves

​

People with these conditions can be candidates for an endoscopic forehead lift.

If you think you fall into these categories,

learning about the endoscopic forehead lift in advance

will help you receive your consultation without being flustered,

so please keep this in mind.

​

Ptosis Correction? Endoscopic Forehead Lift? Which Surgery is Better?

​

What is Ptosis Correction?

If the eyelid muscles are weak and lack the strength to open the eyes,

the surgery performed to improve the eye-opening strength

is ptosis correction.

​

What is an Endoscopic Forehead Lift?

If you are concerned about forehead and glabellar wrinkles,

if your eyelids sag making you look tired or older,

if you have severe stress from looking older than your age,

or if the space between your eyes and eyebrows is narrow and wrinkled,

the surgery performed to resolve these issues

is an endoscopic forehead lift.

​

​

However, when you go for a consultation,

you might be recommended both of these surgical methods.

​

Why recommend both surgeries?

​

There are people who have weak eye-opening strength and try to open their eyes wider

by using their forehead muscles.

In this case, if only ptosis correction is performed,

the eye-opening strength improves, causing the lifted forehead

to drop suddenly. When this happens, the eyebrows come down,

narrowing the gap between the eyebrows and the eyes,

which can give a stuffy and fierce impression. Therefore,

an endoscopic forehead lift must be performed together

to prevent the eyebrows from dropping.

​

Conversely, for someone with weak eye-opening strength

who used to lift their forehead,

if only an endoscopic forehead lift is performed,

the forehead becomes taut after surgery,

and the habit of opening the eyes with the forehead can no longer function.

Because of this, if the eye-opening strength

is not compensated for at all,

and only an endoscopic forehead lift is done,

the eyes may look even sleepier, and the patient may struggle more than before surgery.

Because this can occur, in such cases,

ptosis correction must be performed together.

​

A TIP for those who have had the concerns above!

​

When you look in the mirror at home and slightly pull up your eyebrows,

if you think that look is 'brighter than before and seems to suit me well,'

then if you undergo an endoscopic forehead lift,

your satisfaction level can be high.

​

Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

​

We have introduced this before.

By utilizing the advantages of both the endoscopic forehead lift and ptosis correction,

it is a surgical method that can create clear and defined eyes.

​

​

Fix-Up Ptosis Correction is

a surgical method unique to Vibe Plastic Surgery

muscle positions, and post-operative harmony

there is a video on Vibe Plastic Surgery's YouTube channel, Vibe TV,

that explains in detail how the surgery is performed,

A person's face may seem simple,

but it is surprisingly very complex.

Therefore, when undergoing surgery, we recommend

proceeding at a place equipped with a more professional

and safe system.
