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.

​

Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

​

We have introduced this before.

It is a surgical method that can create clear eyes

by combining the advantages of an endoscopic forehead lift and ptosis correction.

​

​

Fix-Up Ptosis Correction is

Vibe Plastic Surgery's unique surgical method

that considers each individual's facial features,

muscle positions, and post-operative harmony

to bring out your own unique vibe.

​

If you are curious about Fix-Up Ptosis Correction,

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

that explains in detail how the surgery is performed,

so please check it out.

​

A person's face may seem simple,

but it is surprisingly very complex.

Therefore, when undergoing surgery, we recommend doing it

at a place equipped with a more professional

and safe system.

takes direct responsibility from consultation to surgery and care.
