Forehead Lift
Elevate the Brows, Smooth the Forehead, Improve the Droopy Upper Lid and Rejuvenate the Upper Face
Overview
The forehead and eyebrows play a significant role in facial expression and overall appearance. As we age, the skin gradually loses elasticity, the forehead tissues begin to descend, and the eyebrows may droop lower than their natural position. These changes can make the eyes appear smaller, heavier, and more tired, while also contributing to forehead wrinkles and deep frown lines.
Some individuals naturally have low-set eyebrows or a heavy brow, while others develop these concerns over time due to aging and gravity. In many cases, patients notice that they constantly look tired, serious, or even angry despite feeling perfectly well.
A Forehead Lift, also known as a Brow Lift, is designed to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance by elevating the forehead and brows to a natural position. At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, our surgeons focus on creating subtle, elegant rejuvenation that opens the eyes without producing an overly surprised or artificial appearance.
What Can a Forehead Lift Improve?
A Forehead Lift can effectively address several signs of aging affecting the upper face, including:
- Drooping eyebrows
- Heavy upper eyelids caused by brow descent
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Deep frown lines between the eyebrows
- A tired or stern facial expression
- Mild asymmetry of the eyebrows
- Loss of upper facial definition
By restoring the brows to a more youthful position, the eyes appear brighter, more open, and naturally refreshed.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, the surgical approach is carefully selected according to each patient’s facial anatomy, degree of brow descent, hairline position, and aesthetic goals.
Depending on the individual case, the procedure may be performed using small incisions hidden within the hairline or with advanced endoscopic techniques that minimize visible scarring while allowing precise repositioning of the forehead tissues.
The forehead and brow are gently elevated, excess tissue is adjusted when necessary, and the underlying support structures are secured to provide stable, long-lasting results. Every surgical plan is customized to preserve natural facial movement and harmony.
A Forehead Lift is frequently combined with procedures such as Upper Blepharoplasty, Ptosis Correction, Temple Lift, or a Facelift to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Anesthesia, Procedure Time & Recovery
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, a Forehead Lift is typically performed under Sleep Sedation with Local Anesthesia or General Anesthesia, depending on the surgical technique and whether additional procedures are being performed.
The procedure generally takes 1.5 to 3 hours.
Following surgery, patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness around the forehead and upper eyelids. Most swelling improves significantly within one to two weeks, and many patients feel comfortable returning to normal daily and social activities after approximately 10 to 14 days. Final results continue to refine over the following months as the tissues settle naturally.

Forehead Lift Techniques
At Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea, the most appropriate forehead lift technique is selected after carefully evaluating each patient’s forehead anatomy, degree of brow descent, skin quality, hairline position, and aesthetic goals. Our surgeons customize every procedure to achieve natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.
Endoscopic Forehead Lift
The Endoscopic Forehead Lift is a minimally invasive technique that uses several small incisions hidden within the hairline. Through these incisions, a tiny high-definition endoscopic camera and specialized surgical instruments are used to carefully release and reposition the forehead tissues and eyebrows.
Because the procedure is performed through small hidden incisions rather than one long incision, patients generally benefit from less tissue trauma, smaller scars, faster recovery, and a lower risk of numbness. This technique is particularly suitable for patients with mild to moderate brow drooping who are looking for a natural rejuvenation of the upper face.
Endotine Forehead Lift
The Endotine Forehead Lift is similar to the Endoscopic Forehead Lift but in addition it uses a small, bioabsorbable fixation device called an Endotine implant to temporarily support the elevated forehead tissues while they heal in their new position. The device helps maintain precise brow positioning during the early stages of recovery and gradually dissolves over several months as the tissues naturally stabilize.
The Endotine technique may provide additional support for selected patients and can contribute to predictable, symmetrical brow positioning during healing. Our surgeons will recommend this approach only when it is appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and surgical goals.
Which Technique Is Right for You?
There is no single forehead lift technique that is ideal for every patient. During your online consultation or in-clinic consultation, our surgeons will carefully assess your facial anatomy, brow position, forehead height, skin elasticity, and overall facial proportions before recommending the technique that is most suitable for achieving a natural, harmonious, and long-lasting result.
