An endoscopic forehead lift is a procedure that makes minimal incisions inside the hairline, uses an endoscope to make dissection, and lifts and fixes sagging forehead. Depending on the fixation method, it is divided into Endotine Forehead Lift and Bone Tunneling Forehead Lift.
Endotine Forehead Lift
An Endotine Forehead Lift is a procedure that uses an endoscope to safely dissect the sagging forehead tissues, then inserts a fixation device called Endotine to securely lift and fix the forehead.
Since Endotine provides firm fixation over a wide surface, it helps improve deep wrinkles in the upper face.
Endotine Forehead Lifting Surgical Procedure
STEP 1.
Minimal incisions of about 1cm are made inside the hairline, typically 4-5 points, depending on the patient.
STEP 2.
Using a Full HD Endoscope, the surgeon carefully dissects nerves, blood vessels and muscles with precision.
STEP 3.
The Endotine device is inserted into the dissected area to fix and hold the lifted forehead in place.
STEP 4.
The incision sites are carefully sutured to complete the procedure.
1. Wide dissection and strong Endotine fixation
he forehead and brow area from the eyebrows to upper forehead are widely dissected to maximize lifting effects.
Since the tissues are firmly secured with Endotine, it helps prevent sagging recurrence after lifting.
2. Effective for thick skin with deep wrinkles
For patients with thicker skin, fixation marks are less visible and the procedure can effectively improve deep forehead wrinkles due to its strong lifting power.

3. Long-lasting and stable lifting results
The lifted tissues are secured using an Endotine fixation device, which is slowly absorbed in the body over about one year, ensuring stable and long-term lifting effects.
4. Endotine provides firm fixation over a wide area
Endotine has a multi-tine structure that firmly anchors tissue over a wide surface, allowing for strong fixation and more noticeable improvement in forehead sagging.

Bone Tunneling Forehead Lift
A Bone Tunneling Forehead Lift is a procedure in which small incisions are made and an endoscope is used to dissect forehead tissues. Then, bio degradable medical sutures are used to firmly fix and lift the sagging forehead.
This method is suitable for patients with relatively thin skin and can also improve glabellar wrinkles (frown winkles).
Bone Tunneling Forehead Lift Surgical Procedures
STEP 1.
Small incisions of about 2cm are made inside the hairline, typically at 4-5 points, depending on the patient.
STEP 2.
Using a Full HD endoscope, the surgeon carefully identifies and dissects nerves, blood vessels and muscles.
STEP 3.
Absorbable sutures are used to pull up and securely fix the sagging forehead tissues.
STEP 4.
The incision sites are carefully sutured to complete the procedure.
1. Uses Bone Tunneling Technique
A small tunnel is created in the bone and sutures are passed through it to anchor the forehead tissue to the bone.
Since tunneling is done only on the bone surface, there is not risk of brain damage.
2. Corrects Brow Position and Angle by Fixing the Glabella
Sagging in the glabella and inner brows is lifted and fixed adjusting eyebrow position and angle for a brighter and more youthful appearance.

3. Minimal Foreign-Body Sensation After Surgery
Since the fixation sutures and knots are small, there is little to no foreign-body sensation.
The forehead and scalp are securely anchored, reducing the change of loosening due to external impact.
4. 3-Point Fixation Improves Glabellar Wrinkles
Using 3-point fixation, the procedure lifts even the glabella area, resulting in more precise improvement of forehead sagging and frown lines.
+ I am worried about the holes drilled in the bone.
Don't worry. Bones naturally regenerate, so the tiny holes made for the surgery will gradually fill in and heal naturally over time.
Effects and Key Features of Endoscopic Forehead Lift
1. Improves forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines and crow’s feet at the same time
Effectively improves deep forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines and crow’s feet and can also prevent both horizontal and vertical frown lines.
2. Corrects sagging brows and forehead for a brighter, more youthful look
Adjusts the position and angle of the forehead and drooping eyebrows and effectively improves severely drooping eye areas creating a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

3. Widen the space between the eyes and eyebrows for a more refreshed appearance.
By lifting sagging brows and forehead, the narrow space between the eyes and eyebrows is widened making the eyes look more open, brighter and refreshed.
4. Improves double-eyelid lines and eye shape affected by sagging skin
Corrects uneven or buried double-eyelid lines caused by sagging skin, and improves heavy-looking eyes into a lighter, brighter appearance.

5. Small incisions minimizes scarring and shorten recovery time
Since minimal incisions are made inside the hairline, there is no noticeable scarring, allowing for faster return to daily life.
6. Releases the corrugator muscle & facial retaining ligaments
The corrugator muscle and retaining ligaments, which can interfere with lifting, are dissected to allow more effective lifting of sagging tissues.
By reducing the downward pull on the brows, it also improves frown lines (glabellar wrinkles).

7. Prevents thick and unnatural double-eyelid lines
If the space between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow or the upper eyelid skin is thick, creating a double-eyelid fold without correcting this can make the eyes look heavy or the fold appear thick and unnatural.
In such cases, performing an endoscopic forehead lift first to widen the space between the brows and eyes, and then combining it with double-eyelid surgery, can result in a more natural and balanced eye appearance.

Forehead Lift
Through the establishment of various safety management systems, patients can undergo surgery more safely.
An anesthesiology specialist monitors the patient in real-time during surgery and performs double and triple checks through a central monitoring system.
The entire process of the surgery, including pre-, during, and post-surgical procedures, is managed in real-time with a full-time anesthesiologist.
For safer surgery, we have established an in-hospital examination system. This allows us to perform a comprehensive pre-operative examination.
Through the establishment of various safety management systems, we ensure that patients can undergo surgery safely and with peace of mind.
