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 wonder first, "Is this overtreatment?"

​

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

are necessary.

​

Went for double eyelid surgery, but recommended an endoscopic forehead lift?

​

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

but were recommended an endoscopic forehead lift,

you might be curious about what kind of surgery it is since it's unfamiliar,

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

​

✔️ If the space 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 this applies to you,

we recommend learning about the endoscopic forehead lift beforehand

so you can receive your consultation without feeling flustered.

​

Ptosis correction? Endoscopic forehead lift? Which surgery is better?

​

What is ptosis correction?

When 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 older or tired,

if you have severe stress from looking aged,

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?

​

Some people have weak eye-opening strength and try to open their eyes wider

by using their forehead.

In this case, if only ptosis correction is performed,

the eye-opening strength improves, causing the raised forehead

to drop suddenly. At this time, 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 raise 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.

Therefore, if only an endoscopic forehead lift is performed

while the eye-opening strength is not compensated for at all,

the eyes will look sleepier and the patient will struggle more than before surgery.

Because this can happen, in such cases,

ptosis correction must be performed together.

​

A TIP for those who have had the above concerns!

​

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

if you think, 'It looks brighter than before and suits me well,'

then you may have high satisfaction

if you undergo an endoscopic forehead lift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is endoscopic forehead lift recommended during double eyelid surgery consultation?

Yes, an endoscopic forehead lift may be recommended if the space between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow, or if there is sagging in the forehead and eyebrows themselves. This is to achieve natural results along with improving the eye shape.

What is the difference between ptosis correction and endoscopic forehead lift?

Ptosis correction is a surgery that improves the strength of opening the eyes when the eyelid muscles are weak. On the other hand, an endoscopic forehead lift is a surgery that resolves forehead and frown lines, and sagging eyelids to create a younger and more refreshed impression.

Are there cases where both ptosis correction and endoscopic forehead lift should be performed together?

Yes, if you have a habit of lifting your eyebrows to open your eyes due to weak eye-opening strength, both surgeries can be performed concurrently. This is because performing only one could make your eyebrows descend, making you look stuffy, or your eyes appear even more sleepy.

Is there a way to self-check if an endoscopic forehead lift is necessary?

Yes, if you look in a mirror at home and gently lift your eyebrows, and you feel that your appearance is brighter and more harmonious than before, you may have high satisfaction after an endoscopic forehead lift.

What is Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

Fix-Up Ptosis Correction is VIBE Plastic Surgery's unique surgical method that combines the advantages of endoscopic forehead lift and ptosis correction to create clear eye lines. It is performed considering each individual's facial harmony.
