Improvement in forehead wrinkles + eyebrow wrinkles + glabella wrinkles + puffy and saggy upper eyelids
On the upper part of the face, there are many muscles which move the eyebrows and control facial expressions. One muscle between the eyebrows brings the eyebrows down and simultaneously raises the skin on the dorsum, making horizontal wrinkles.
Other muscles bring the eyebrows down and to the middle at the same time, which causes vertical wrinkles. Those deep wrinkles give a gloomy and aged look. CDU Plastic Surgery Korea provides personalized forehead lift surgery and is able to correct fundamental issues by considering age, the aging process, and the location of wrinkles.

Surgery Process
Two to three 1.5cm incisions are made 1cm above the eyebrow on the hairline.
Surgical instruments and the endoscope are inserted through the incisions. The skin and muscles are separated.
Muscles which bring down the eyebrows are cut and the skin around the forehead and eyebrows is lifted. The position is fixed with Endotine.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift Q&A
During the surgery, as the nerves around the forehead are lifted, there will be a temporary sensation of numbness. In most cases, feeling on the forehead will return to normal in one month, and feeling on the scalp in two months.
You can wash your hair after seven days. From then, you can resume your daily routine.
Right after surgery there will be swelling around the forehead and eyes. In seven to nine days, the swelling will move down to the neck. This will disappear in roughly two weeks.
What if I am not a candidate for this surgery?
When it comes to sagging upper eyelids, endoscopic forehead lift may not be appropriate. In this case, an anti-aging eye surgery is recommended to improve skin sagging on the eyes.
