The Short Answer
What is an endoscopic forehead lift?
An endoscopic forehead lift is a minimally invasive surgery for the whole upper face. Through a few small incisions hidden in the scalp, the surgeon uses a tiny camera to release the forehead tissues and the muscles that pull the brows down. The forehead and brows are then lifted and held in a higher position with internal fixation.
It is designed for deep horizontal forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, sagging brows and skin that hangs over the upper eyelids — the features that can make a face look tired or even angry. Compared with a traditional open forehead lift, it usually involves less swelling and a quicker recovery.
If your main concern is the brow position rather than the forehead, compare our endoscopic brow lift.

FAQ
Endoscopic forehead lift in Seoul: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a forehead lift and a brow lift?
A brow lift focuses on raising the eyebrows. A forehead lift treats the whole forehead as well, smoothing horizontal lines and frown lines while lifting the brows. The endoscopic technique can do both through small scalp incisions.
Will the scars be visible?
The incisions are small and hidden in the scalp, so they are usually concealed by hair once healed.
How long does recovery take?
Keep your head elevated for about 5 days and avoid strenuous activity for about 2 weeks. Swelling and tightness improve gradually, and results settle over the following months.
How long do the results last?
Results commonly last about 8–10 years. Natural ageing continues, so longevity varies with skin quality, genetics and lifestyle.
Can it be combined with eyelid surgery?
Yes. A combined eye and forehead rejuvenation can include upper eyelid correction or ptosis repair. Your surgeon will advise whether combining is suitable.
How long should I stay in Korea?
We usually recommend about 10–14 days so that stitch removal and a healing check can be done before your flight.
How much does an endoscopic forehead lift cost?
The standard endoscopic forehead lift is about ₩5–7 million. A temporal lift is about ₩3.5–5 million, and a combined eye and forehead lift about ₩7–9 million. Your final quote is confirmed after consultation.
Is it suitable for men?
Yes. The procedure suits both men and women. Your surgeon will plan a brow shape and height that suit your face.
Do you have English-speaking staff?
Yes. Our team supports patients in English, Chinese and Japanese. You can contact us on WhatsApp before your trip.
