Endoscopic Forehead Lift · Brow Lift

Endoscopic forehead lift in Busan, Korea — brighter eyes through 1 cm incisions.

What Is an Endoscopic Forehead Lift?

A brow lift performed through small hairline incisions using an endoscope.

Rather than simply pulling the forehead upward, treatment addresses adhesions beneath the forehead tissues, depressor muscles that contribute to brow descent, brow position and facial balance, and long-term support. Small incisions are placed behind the hairline, tissues are released, the brow is repositioned, and fixation is performed before closure.

Results

A refreshed upper face, angle by angle.

You may benefit if you experience

  • Low or heavy brows

A consultation determines your plan

  • Heavy upper lids may come from the brow, the eyelid, or both

A consultation and examination are required to determine whether a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or a combination is appropriate for you.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery varies by patient.

Swelling & Bruising

Temporary swelling and bruising may occur during healing.

Tightness

Tightness across the forehead is expected as tissues settle.

About Your Surgeon

Dr. Son Hee-dong,
plastic
surgeon.

A brow that is pulled up will come back down.

What holds it is releasing the adhesions and depressors that were pulling it down in the first place — then fixing it where it belongs.

Frequently Asked

Forehead Lift in Busan
questions.

What is an endoscopic forehead lift?
A minimally invasive brow-lifting procedure performed through small hairline incisions using an endoscope, designed to elevate the brows, soften forehead aging, and create a refreshed appearance.
Will scars be visible?
Incisions are generally concealed within the hair-bearing scalp, and their limited length supports reduced visible scarring.
How long is recovery?
Recovery varies according to the individual procedure and healing process. Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, and altered sensation may occur during healing.
Am I a candidate for an endoscopic forehead lift?
Patients may benefit if they experience low or heavy brows, forehead skin laxity, a tired or stern appearance, brow asymmetry, or early upper facial aging.
How is it different from a traditional brow lift?
This approach uses approximately 1 cm hidden incisions with Full HD endoscopic visualization, allowing the surgeon to see underlying structures while limiting incision length.
Can it be combined with eyelid surgery?
Combined procedures are considered depending on your anatomy and goals. Because heaviness can come from the brow, the eyelid, or both, the appropriate combination is determined during assessment.
When can I return to work?
This depends on your individual healing and the extent of the procedure. Follow the individualized postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon rather than a general timeline.
How long do results last?
Treatment addresses long-term support by releasing adhesions and depressor muscles and performing fixation. However, ageing continues and individual results vary.
Is the forehead simply pulled upward?
No. Rather than simply pulling the forehead upward, treatment addresses adhesions beneath the forehead tissues, depressor muscles that contribute to brow descent, brow position and facial balance, and long-term support.
Considering a Brow Lift in Busan?

Start with a
brow position assessment.

Heaviness around the eyes can come from the brow, the eyelid, or both. A consultation identifies which — and whether releasing adhesions and depressor muscles is the right way to lift your brow.

Individual results and recovery experiences vary. This page is provided for general educational purposes and does not constitute a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or guarantee of surgical results. A brow lift does not stop the ageing process, and results are not permanent. All surgical procedures involve potential risks, including bleeding, infection, asymmetry, scarring, altered or lost sensation, nerve injury, hair loss around incisions, brow position change or relapse, dissatisfaction with the outcome, and the possible need for additional surgery. The appropriate procedure and expected outcome can only be determined following an in-person examination and consultation with a qualified medical professional.
