PTT users are hotly debating! Drooping, lifeless eyes and brows pressing down on the eyes – should I get double eyelid surgery or an Endoscopic Forehead Lift? [Doctor's Opinion]
Do you think only double eyelids experience drooping eyebrows and eyes due to aging? Wrong! Aging is a problem that affects people of all ages, genders, and whether they have single or double eyelids!
很多人過了30就會逐漸感覺到初老的來臨，只不過雙眼皮人士看起來似乎相對明顯，因為隨著時間過去，照鏡子就會看到雙眼皮的變化，例如眼皮變肥厚，眼皮褶變小了。而原本就是單眼皮的人則是眉壓眼更嚴重，眼神兇兇的，想要調整改善，問題就來了，到底是該做雙眼皮手術，還是有拉提效果的Endoscopic Forehead Lift？請看五官改造、拉皮權威醫師Dr. Wei-Cheng ChingWe'll break down three common myths about making the wrong choices:
Q.眼睛下垂無神、眉壓眼，應該做雙眼皮手術還是Endoscopic Forehead Lift？
Myth 1: Eyelid problems can certainly be solved by double eyelid surgery → (✘）
Because double eyelid surgery is so popular, it is often the first thing people think of when they need eye plastic surgery, especially when they encounter the problem of "droopy eyelids". Their instinct is to have double eyelid surgery to make minor adjustments to solve the problem.However, double eyelid surgery cannot solve all eye problems, and "drooping" is the fundamental problem that needs to be addressed.
When double eyelid surgery removes loose skin, it can actually create heavy double eyelids. Many cases where double eyelid surgery seems unsuccessful are not actually due to problems with the procedure itself, but rather to choosing the wrong surgery. Drooping eyelids caused by aging require a facelift to address the root cause of the drooping and sagging, lifting and tightening the tissue to achieve the desired natural, youthful appearance.
▲If the eyelids are severely droopy and loose, attempting to improve them with double eyelid surgery may actually result in heavy and unnatural eyelid folds.
Myth 2: The price difference between the two is large, so choose the cheaper double eyelid surgery first →(✘)
Available for search on the internetThe price of double eyelid surgery ranges from approximately 25,000 to 50,000 yuan, while the price of brow lift surgery ranges from 190,000 to 250,000 yuan (updated 2025).If you don't understand the advantages and lifting effect of brow lift surgery, the cost of tens of thousands of yuan may indeed be daunting. Therefore, you may choose the cheaper double eyelid surgery first. If double eyelid surgery can solve the problem of aging, it is definitely a high cost-performance option. But the key question is, can this option really solve your problem?
In fact, these two surgeries have completely different functions and cannot be compared in terms of price.The ultimate goal of surgery is to achieve the desired postoperative results.When it comes to combating periorbital aging and sagging, people mainly aim to look younger and have bright, expressive eyes. If surgery is performed but the desired effect is not achieved, it is a waste of money and effort, and there may be a need for a second surgery. Therefore, choosing the right surgical method from the beginning is the key.
On the other hand, it is worth discussing whether the market mechanism of comparing prices when buying and selling goods is applicable to medical procedures.
Every surgical procedure incurs costs to maintain medical quality. The price differences for the same procedure often reflect variations in medical quality, including the cost of surgical equipment, the professional skills and experience of the medical team, the quality of the medical institution, and its integrity. Choosing a procedure solely based on price not only increases the risk of surgical failure but may also compromise personal safety, a point that should not be overlooked.

Myth 3: Avoid misdiagnosis and seek professional advice. Understand your needs before choosing the appropriate procedure.→(O)
Do you need to correct a localized aesthetic issue with your eyelids, or is it due to drooping eyebrows and eyes caused by aging? It's recommended that you schedule a consultation with a professional doctor to understand your needs before considering surgery.
Because double eyelid surgery and brow lift surgery are completely different procedures in terms of function and method, many people will make their own judgments about their needs. However, eye plastic surgery is diverse and delicate, and there are some situations that can lead to misjudgment. Each doctor's approach will also be different, which is related to the doctor's professionalism and experience. To achieve the most natural and beautiful results, it is necessary for an experienced doctor to further customize the procedure in order to achieve the postoperative expectations that cannot be matched by performing local surgery alone.
例如臉部下垂，鬆垮的眼皮只是表徵，實際上是眼周組織整體下垂，需要將眼睛周圍的結構劃作一個區域（periorbital area）共同做手術的考量：額頭、眉間、眉毛、上眼皮、眼尾、下眼皮都屬於這個範圍，要徹底達到拉提效果，可透過Endoscopic Forehead Lift手術微創技術，將額頭、眼周、上下眼皮組織做整體的提升。

【什麼是Endoscopic Forehead Lift？】
