What age group is suitable for Endoscopic Forehead Lift, and what kind of rejuvenation effect can it achieve?

Hello everyone, today we'll talk about facial aging. As we age, the bones, muscles, fat, and skin of our face change. The delicate area around the eyes is particularly prone to showing signs of fatigue, aging, and drooping eyelids, making it one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Therefore, upper facial care is crucial. Endoscopic Forehead Lifts primarily treat and improve sagging and aging in the upper face. Before understanding the effects of a brow lift, let's understand the impact of aging on the upper face:

Signs of aging on the upper face – sagging forehead, forehead wrinkles, sagging around the eyes

After the pandemic, face masks seem to have become a standard accessory. When we wear face masks, we only expose our foreheads and eyes. This exposed area is what we call the "upper face". Because the skin around the eyes is thinner, it is particularly susceptible to aging and can easily reveal one's true age. Some people look energetic and youthful, while others look haggard and tired. What are some signs of aging?

 

●Forehead aging and sagging

When you are young, your forehead is relatively round and full. However, as you get older, the frontal bone will degenerate and shrink, and the fat tissue and collagen around the forehead and eyes will also be lost. Therefore, the forehead will not be as firm and full as when you were young, and it often looks sunken and uneven.

● When the distance between the eyebrows and eyes becomes closer, it creates a gloomy feeling of the eyebrows pressing down on the eyes.

The second key point of observation is...The position of the eyebrows, or the relative distance between the eyebrows and eyes.。

When young, the brow peak usually falls between the middle and outer third of the eyebrow, that is, on the brow bone or slightly above it. The distance between the eyebrow tail and the eye is relatively large, making the eyes look more prominent, bright, and energetic.

However, as we age, the muscles around the eyes pull the eyebrows downwards, including the corrugator supercilii, depressor supercilii, depressor intercostal muscles, and orbicularis oculi. The only muscle that resists the upward movement is the frontalis muscle in the middle of the forehead. There is no upward force to counteract this on the outer side. Therefore, the eyebrows of older people often drop more at the tail than in the middle, forming a V-shape, which is commonly known as V-shaped eyebrows.

In addition, the continuous contraction of the muscles around the eyes can also cause tension in the brow area, making one look heavy and unhappy. In addition, the skin and soft tissue around the eyes will become loose and lose elasticity, further amplifying the feeling of the eyebrows pressing down on the eyes. When the eyebrows droop to a certain extent, causing the eyelids to obstruct vision, we will also involuntarily contract the frontalis muscle to compensate by raising the eyebrows, which will deepen the forehead wrinkles over time.

Besides older people, we often see symptoms such as sagging forehead, drooping eyebrows, and eyebrows pressing down on the eyes in young people. Even if you are not unhappy, others will think you look fierce, in a bad mood, or heavy. These are mostly caused by innate bone structure and soft tissue.

 

The rejuvenating effect of Endoscopic Forehead Lift and its suitable target groups

What is a minimally invasive brow lift? A minimally invasive brow lift, also known as an Endoscopic Forehead Lift, uses endoscopic technology to precisely relax and lift the tissues around the forehead and eyes, allowing the forehead and eyebrow tissues to return to a better position. The lifting effect of this surgery is unmatched by ultrasound, radiofrequency, or thread lifting. With proper care, the lifting effect can last for 8-10 years.

▲With the assistance of endoscopic instruments, doctors have a clearer field of vision when performing complex brow lift surgery, and can more accurately locate the complex tissue structure of the face. In addition, there is the advantage of minimally invasive incision, so the postoperative recovery is fast and the scars are not obvious.

●What will the surgery change?

During the procedure, we will perform precise relaxation to lift the soft tissues around the forehead and eyes, returning them to a better position, making the forehead firmer and fuller.

Around the eyes, the upper eyelids will be pulled upwards, widening the narrow distance between the eyebrows and eyes, reducing the oppressive feeling from the eyebrows, and making the originally gloomy and fierce eyes look soft and bright.

For tight brows, precise surgical wrinkle removal can open up the brow area, improving frown lines and brow wrinkles, resulting in a smiling appearance that gives a comfortable and energetic feeling.

●Who is a suitable candidate for a brow lift?

They can be roughly divided into two groups:

The first category is people over 35 who are starting to show early signs of aging:

Especially for those over 40, signs of aging on the upper face become increasingly noticeable. For example, you might observe drooping eyebrows, a narrowing gap between your eyebrows and eyes, a tight brow, and more pronounced forehead and frown lines, making you look tired and aged. In such cases, it's advisable to consult a clinic to assess whether a brow lift is a suitable option. Of course, as we age, various signs of aging will naturally appear on the face. It's recommended to consult an experienced doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and to tailor a suitable treatment plan to address all aspects of aging.

The second category is the younger group:

Most people under 35 have naturally loose foreheads due to their bone structure and soft tissue, and their eyebrows are below the brow bone, which can give them a stern or angry look. You can do a simple simulation at home by gently pulling your forehead and eyebrows upwards with both hands to see if this feels right to you. This can also be used to assess whether Endoscopic Forehead Lift surgery is suitable for you.

▍A comprehensive understanding of the principles and surgical procedures of Endoscopic Forehead Lift surgery

For issues of facial aging, minimally invasive, scarless Endoscopic Forehead Lift surgery is an excellent treatment option. Through precise relaxation and lifting, we place the tissue in the appropriate position and then securely fix it. As for facial features, there's no need to worry about exaggerated changes. Many patients' feedback after the procedure mentions a natural, youthful effect. Because most people don't want others to know they've had a facelift, they worry about scars and an unnatural, stiff face after the procedure. However, the characteristic of Endoscopic Forehead Lift is its naturalness. Others won't know what you've done, but they'll still think you look younger, especially with brighter, more energetic eyes. That's the goal of our treatment.
