• You have deep, persistent horizontal lines across your forehead that bother you.

• You have frown lines (the "11s") between your eyebrows that make you look angry or stressed.

• Your eyebrows have begun to sag below the bony orbital rim, sometimes pushing down on your upper eyelids.

• You are in good overall health and do not have any pre-existing conditions that would complicate surgery or healing.

• You have realistic expectations about the results of a forehead lift in South Korea.

• You are a non-smoker, or you are willing to quit well in advance of the surgery.

• You are experiencing primarily loose skin on the eyelids (you may only need a blepharoplasty).

• You have active, chronic medical conditions that could significantly increase surgical risk.

• You have a very high, receding hairline (as a traditional lift might further elevate the hairline).

• You have unrealistic expectations about a complete change in your overall facial structure.

• Small Incisions: Three to five small incisions (less than an inch each) are made within the hairline, making the scars virtually undetectable once healed.

• Lifting and Repositioning: A thin, pen-like instrument (endoscope) and specialized tools are inserted to view and access the underlying forehead tissues and muscles.

• Fixation: The forehead tissues are carefully lifted, and the muscles that cause frowning are often partially modified. The tissue is then secured in a higher, more youthful position using temporary or dissolvable fixation devices.

• Initial Consultation & Planning: The surgeon assesses your facial structure, skin elasticity, and hairline, and discusses your aesthetic goals to create a customized surgical plan.

• Pre-operative Preparation: This involves necessary blood tests, a medical review, and detailed instructions on how to prepare, including avoiding certain medications.

• The Surgical Procedure: Performed under sedation or general anesthesia, the surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity and technique used.

• Post-operative Monitoring: You will spend a few hours in the clinic's recovery area. A compression garment or bandages may be applied to minimize swelling.

• Recovery: Most patients can return to light, non-strenuous activities within a week. Final results become apparent as swelling subsides over the following weeks to months. The surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing.

• Innovation and Refinement: Seoul surgeons are at the forefront of surgical innovation, constantly refining techniques for better, more natural results.

• Specialized Clinics: HUGO Plastic Surgery is one of many specialized centers focused entirely on aesthetic procedures, ensuring concentrated expertise.

• Discreet Recovery: The culture and infrastructure of Seoul are highly accommodating for patients undergoing cosmetic procedures, offering a discreet and comfortable recovery period.

• Value: High quality and expertise are accessible at a favorable price point compared to North America or other global destinations.

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): To check for general health and signs of infection.

• Blood Coagulation Tests: To ensure proper blood clotting ability before surgery.

• EKG (if required): For patients over a certain age or with specific medical history, to evaluate heart function.

• Recovery Time in Seoul: Plan to stay in Seoul for at least 7-10 days after your forehead lift in South Korea. This allows time for suture removal (if non-dissolvable) and proper initial follow-up care.

• Medical Records: Bring copies of your full medical history and a list of all current medications, vitamins, and supplements.

• Post-op Care: Arrange a safe and comfortable accommodation with minimal steps and easy access to the clinic for follow-up appointments.

• Manage Swelling: Keep your head elevated, even while sleeping, for the first week to help minimize swelling and bruising.

• Cold Compress: Apply cold compresses as directed by the surgeon to the forehead area, being careful not to apply pressure directly to the incision sites.

• Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from heavy lifting, bending, and vigorous exercise for at least 2-4 weeks, as this can increase blood pressure and bleeding.

• Scar Care: Follow the surgeon’s instructions for incision cleaning and scar management. The endoscopic incisions are small and typically heal discreetly within the hairline.

• Follow-up: Attend all scheduled check-ups at HUGO Plastic Surgery to ensure proper healing and track your progress.

Q: Will a forehead lift make me look surprised?

A: A well-performed forehead lift in South Korea, especially using the precise techniques at HUGO Plastic Surgery, aims for a refreshed and natural look, not a surprised or overly taut appearance. The goal is subtle elevation to its youthful position.

Q: How long does the swelling last after a forehead lift in South Korea?

A: Significant swelling typically peaks within the first 48 hours and subsides substantially within the first week. Residual minor swelling may take several weeks to fully resolve, but most patients feel comfortable resuming public activities within 10-14 days.

Q: What is the difference between a forehead lift and an eyelid lift?

A: An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) addresses excess skin and fat directly on the upper or lower eyelids. A forehead lift in South Korea raises the eyebrows and smooths the forehead skin, which can, in turn, reduce the appearance of excess skin above the eyes caused by a drooping brow.

Q: Are the results of a forehead lift permanent?

A: A forehead lift in South Korea provides long-lasting results, typically many years. While the procedure reverses the existing signs of aging, the natural aging process will continue, but from a more youthful starting point.

Q: How long do I need to stay in Seoul for the forehead lift package?

A: We recommend a minimum stay of 7-10 days in Seoul. This allows time for the initial post-operative healing, necessary follow-up checks, and safe clearance for international travel.
