Forehead Lift, Ptosis Correction, Under-Eye Fat Repositioning, and Elasticum Lifting: Before & After
Real before-and-after results for middle-aged rejuvenation surgery: forehead lift, ptosis correction, under-eye fat repositioning, and Elasticum lifting at WJ Wonjin Plastic Surgery.
Hello, this is WJ Wonjin Plastic Surgery : )
Today, we would like to share the before-and-after selfie results of middle-aged rejuvenation surgery,
featuring a forehead lift, ptosis correction, under-eye fat repositioning,
and Elasticum lifting for a natural, youthful transformation.
Q. What is a forehead lift?
A. When the forehead loses elasticity and sags,
it impacts the surrounding eye area as well,
often leading to changes in the overall look and shape of the eyes.
A forehead lift is a procedure where the forehead tissues
are widely dissected, elevated, and securely fixed.
This comprehensively improves forehead wrinkles, glabellar frown lines, crow's feet, and eyelid shape,
helping to create a brighter, more refreshed impression.
Q. What is under-eye fat repositioning?
A. Under-eye fat repositioning does not cut the external skin;
instead, it is performed via a transconjunctival incision inside the lower eyelid.
By redistributing excess fat into the hollow tear trough,
it improves dark circles and smoothens out under-eye hollows and bumps,
restoring a vital, refreshed appearance.
Q. How does under-eye fat differ from the aegyo-sal (love band)?
A. Sometimes, protruding under-eye fat is mistaken for the aegyo-sal,
but they are structurally different.
The aegyo-sal is the soft band of muscle that bulges right beneath the lower lashes when smiling,
whereas under-eye fat refers to fat pockets below the eyes that become hollow
or bulge prominently past normal contours.
Due to excess fat accumulation and aging,
the under-eye area can look puffy and sag.
Q. What is ptosis correction (eye shape correction)?
A. Ptosis correction typically aims to reveal about 80–90% of the pupil
by correcting droopy eyelids (blepharoptosis),
transforming tired, sleepy eyes into a clearer, more defined gaze.
Q. What is partial-incision ptosis correction?
A. It uses a minimal incision of only 5 to 6 mm,
offering the distinct advantage of minimal tissue damage.
Furthermore, because both the levator and Müller muscles—the muscles responsible for opening the eyes—are anchored together at the top and bottom,
it creates sharp, well-defined eyes with a very low risk of loosening.
Q. What is Elasticum lifting?
A. Using a specialized silicone band called Elasticum,
it lifts and secures sagging skin along the face and neck.
It restores the elasticity of stretched ligaments,
allowing for natural facial expressions and movements alongside revitalized firmness.
Q. What are the benefits of combining facial liposuction with thread lifting?
A. Facial liposuction removes unnecessary facial fat,
while thread lifting pulls up and firms sagging tissues.
This combination reduces recovery time
and maximizes the effect of creating a slender, sculpted V-line.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of a forehead lift?
A forehead lift smooths wrinkles across the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, while simultaneously improving heavy upper eyelids. By dissecting and lifting the forehead tissues upward to secure them, it refines sagging tissues around the eyes to restore a brighter, more vibrant look.
Does under-eye fat repositioning require an external skin incision?
No, the surgery does not cut the external skin; it is performed through an incision inside the conjunctiva. Excess fat is repositioned into the tear trough area, smoothing out uneven contours and improving dark circles for a revitalized look.
How is under-eye fat different from aegyo-sal?
They differ in anatomical structure and appearance. The aegyo-sal is a muscular bulge that naturally defines the area under the eyes when smiling. In contrast, under-eye fat refers to fat deposits that protrude or sag due to genetics or aging.
What are the key features of partial-incision ptosis correction?
It minimizes tissue trauma by using a small 5–6 mm incision. By simultaneously securing the levator and Müller muscles, it reduces the chance of unravelling and effectively turns tired, droopy eyes into crisp, well-opened eyes.
How does Elasticum lifting work?
It utilizes an elastic silicone band to support sagging skin and repair stretched ligaments. By anchoring sagging areas of the face and neck, it delivers firm lifting while preserving natural facial movements and facial expressions.
