‘My eyelid looks puffy and saggy’

‘My eyes look sharp and fierce’

‘I have already had double eyelid surgery but am not satisfied with the shape’

There are so many people coming to plastic surgery with such concerns. Most of them think that the problem comes from the eye itself, however, mostly, it is because of the saggy forehead. Since the forehead takes up 1/3 of the face, the sagging of the forehead give an effect on all over the upper facial features such as eyebrows, eyelids, double eyelids, and so on. That’s why forehead lift became one of the most popular surgery to improve upper facial features without going through double eyelid surgery or ptosis correction.

 

‘Forehead Lift’, Lifting the sagging of the forehead to improve the eye shape

‘Forehead lift’ is the surgery that lifts the overall sagging area through 2~5 incisions made inside of the hairline and fixes strongly to the skull. This is for those who have many sagging areas from the forehead, eyebrow, to eyelid that cannot expect a sufficient effect by having ptosis correction. In addition, who has a very short distance between the brow and the eye that gives a negative impression, the puffy and thick eyelid, or the hooded double eyelid are recommended to have forehead lift to improve the impression by lifting the forehead and eyebrows for a clearer eye shape with defined double eyelid.

2. The puffy eyelid has been improved

3. The hidden double eyelid has been exposed and distinct

However, there still are so many people considering to have a forehead lift since it should be operated through a big incision inside of the hairline, you might feel the prosthesis or coming off after the surgery, or might not have the sufficient effect. That is why TS worked out a way to remedy the disadvantages of the original forehead lift and ‘TS tunneling forehead lift’ was created based on the know-hows and so many surgical experiences of eye plastic surgery.

 

What is the difference between the original forehead lift and TS forehead lift?

The original forehead lift / TS forehead lift

(1) Incision and desquamation

The original forehead lift required a forehead incision more than 10cm along with the hairline or one near the top of the head more than 30cm that caused bleeding, scarring, or swelling. TS forehead lift only requires invisible 2~5 incisions of 1~2cm inside of the hairline. In addition, it is possible to see the nerve, muscle, and blood vessel of the area directly with a full HD endoscope for safer desquamation. The wide and fair desquamation evenly improve the sagging area and allows patients to get back to the normal life since there is less bleeding and swelling

Long-lasting ‘Periosteum lift’

 

The original forehead lift lifted until the dermis or the epimysium. On the other hand, TS forehead lift lifts until not only the dermis and the epimysium but also the periosteum that gives a stronger effect and maintains it longer.

(3) Fixation

TS ‘tunneling technique’ to remedy the shortcoming of Endotine

The ‘Endotine’ is an implant with hooks to fix the lifted skin and scalp. Most of the clinics are using Endotine for lifting since it is quicker and simpler to fix. However, you might have a feeling of irritation until it is absorbed or face pain caused by the hook. To remedy its shortcomings, TS uses the tunneling technique that uses a suture to fix the area. Although it is a more complicated surgical method since the surgeon needs to fix the area directly with a suture, it has the advantages of not having any pain from the hook, displacement, or feeling of irritation.

(*What is the ‘tunneling technique’? It is a surgical technique of fixation by creating a small loop on the bone and tie with a suture to fix without using any tool like an Endotine )

 

 

A forehead lift, high accuracy diagnosis with skilled surgical technique is essential

Lifting the sagging forehead can be the simple solution to improve the eye shape without going through double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, or any eye enlarging surgeries. However, it should be noted that various results such as bleeding, tissue damage, scar, or duration come out totally different depends on the surgical technique or know how of the surgeon.

In addition, you should refrain from making a rash decision for the surgery since it is not suitable for everybody. There are people who forced to proceed with the forehead lift which was not suitable for their case and ended up with having side effects such as unnatural-looking eye shape or not completely closed eyes. Therefore, it is very important to have a consultation with the specialist who has extensive surgical experiences with great knowledge to provide you an accurate diagnosis of whether the surgery is suitable for you or not.
