Forehead Lift Surgery in Seoul
Forehead Lift Surgery is a surgical facial rejuvenation procedure designed to reduce forehead wrinkles, elevate sagging brows, and create a smoother, more youthful upper-face appearance. By repositioning underlying tissues rather than tightening skin alone, this surgery restores balance to the forehead and eye area while maintaining natural facial expression.

What is Forehead Lift Surgery ?
Forehead Lift Surgery addresses aging changes in the upper face, including horizontal forehead lines, brow drooping, and heaviness above the eyes. The procedure lifts and stabilizes the forehead and brow tissues to improve facial harmony and reduce a tired or angry appearance.
