Forehead & Brow Thread Lift in Gangnam, Seoul
A precise thread pattern lifts a heavy or drooping brow line, opening up the eye area for a more alert, refreshed look without touching the upper eyelid itself.
Opening Up the Eye Area Without Surgery
A heavy or drooping brow line can make the eyes appear smaller and give the face a tired or aged look, even when the eyelid itself hasn't changed. A forehead and brow thread lift uses precisely placed threads to gently lift the brow position, restoring a more open, alert appearance to the upper face.
Unlike upper eyelid surgery, this treatment doesn't touch the eyelid skin itself — it works by repositioning the brow above it, making it a good option for patients whose primary concern is brow height and position rather than excess eyelid skin.
The threads also stimulate collagen production in the forehead area, contributing to gradual skin quality improvement alongside the lifting effect.

Your Treatment & Recovery Timeline
Your doctor assesses your brow position and facial proportions to map a thread pattern that achieves a natural, balanced lift.
Local anesthesia is applied to the forehead area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
MFDS/FDA-cleared PDO threads are inserted along the mapped pattern and gently secured to lift the brow into position.
Mild swelling and bruising typically ease within 1–2 days, with full settling of the lifted position over the following week.
A follow-up visit confirms your results and reviews longevity expectations, typically 10–14 months for this treatment.

Forehead & Brow Thread Lift — FAQ
How long do the results last?
Most patients enjoy a visible lift for 10–14 months, with some collagen-related skin quality improvements lasting beyond the mechanical lift itself.
Is this the same as eyelid surgery?
No — this treatment lifts the brow itself and doesn't touch the upper eyelid skin. If excess eyelid skin is your primary concern, a surgical consultation may be more appropriate.
Will my brows look overly arched or unnatural?
Your doctor maps a thread pattern based on your natural facial proportions, aiming for a subtle, balanced lift rather than a dramatic or overly arched result.
Can this be combined with Botox?
Yes — many patients pair this with Botox for the forehead and brow area as part of a Combined Upper-Face Program for a fully refreshed look.
What does recovery involve?
Expect mild swelling and bruising for a day or two, with most patients returning to normal activities within a day or two of treatment.
