Endoscopic forehead lift
An upper-face operation that addresses the position of the forehead and brows. It is different from treating eyelid skin alone and begins with examining how brow position affects the eye area.

How the approach works.
Clair describes small incisions behind the hairline and endoscopic visualisation while releasing, lifting and fixing tissue. The incision sites and fixation plan depend on the examination.
Understanding the anatomy
AI-generated educational illustrations, not patient photographs or treatment results. Simplified and not to scale; they do not show an individual treatment plan.
The hairline, forehead, eyebrows and upper eyelids are shown in a relaxed position.
A simplified section places the thin frontalis muscle beneath superficial tissue and above frontal bone.
The eyebrow lies above the upper eyelid crease; their positions vary between individuals.

Structures to discuss
AI-generated educational illustrations, not patient photographs or treatment results. Simplified and not to scale; they do not show an individual treatment plan.
The side view shows the forehead, nose, lips, chin and jaw outline without changing the model.
A surface view shows the upper eyelid crease and lid margins around an intact eye.
The levator muscle runs above the globe and continues toward the upper eyelid through its aponeurosis.
Recovery, risks & limits.
Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.
Bleeding, infection, visible scars and anaesthesia complications are possible.
Hairline changes, hair loss near incisions, altered sensation and asymmetry should be discussed.
Facial nerve injury, persistent pain and the possible need for revision are part of the risk assessment.
Your timeline is individual.
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.
If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.
Dr. JinHo Han
Representative surgeon · Plastic surgery specialist
A personal consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. Discuss your facial features, skin condition and treatment preferences before deciding on a plan.
Your questions, answered.
Can a brow problem look like heavy eyelids?
Yes, brow position can affect the upper-eye area. The consultation separates brow descent, eyelid skin and eye-opening function before choosing an approach.
How long should I stay in Korea?
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Can I choose the procedure before an examination?
You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.
How is the cost decided?
The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.
What should I disclose before treatment?
Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
