I’m sharing my review of a middle-aged man’s forehead lift, temporal lift, and under-eye fat repositioning surgery.I’m writing this in hopes it helps even a little to others who have the same concerns, since there aren’t many surgical cases for middle-aged men.After considering consultations at several hospitals and recommendations from acquaintances, I had surgery with Dr. Jang Jun-young at Apgujeong Aiting Plastic Surgery.Since this was my first cosmetic facial surgery, I was very worried before the operation, but perhaps thanks to the doctor’s skill or my own constitution, I had almost no bleeding, bruising, or pain. However, swelling started in earnest from the second day after surgery, and for about a week my face was quite swollen. There was almost no pain, but I avoided going out because of the swelling. I think this varies a lot from person to person, and I did see some people return to work in less than a week.From the second week, most of the facial swelling went down, and even when going out I only looked a little puffy. The intermittent pain in the forehead also mostly disappeared from that point, and sensation in the forehead recovered quite a bit. However, some numbness in the crown area is still present.In the third week, the overall swelling had almost resolved, and I felt that the under-eye fat was gradually settling into place. In general, many reviews say under-eye fat repositioning takes about 3 months to stabilize, but from the third week I clearly felt improvement.By the fourth week, when touching the Endotine area attached during the forehead lift, only a slight odd sensation remained. Forehead sensation had almost returned to normal, and most of the minor aches were gone. Under the eyes, whether this is part of the settling process or not, the fact that the appearance changes ever so slightly from day to day actually feels interesting.Now that I’m entering week 5, I’m writing my first review. The biggest purpose of this surgery was to make opening my eyes feel comfortable, and through the forehead lift that goal was achieved 100% to my satisfaction. At the end of the day, my eye fatigue feels less than half of what it used to.Also, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows increased, and as the sagging eyelids and outer corners of the eyes were lifted, my overall impression became much brighter. Everyone I met after a long time said I looked better, which made me even more satisfied.Personally, I would strongly recommend this to middle-aged men considering under-eye fat repositioning. The effect is truly dramatic, and people around me often said I look 10 years younger.As I wrap up this first review after surgery, I’d like to say that, personally, I’m very satisfied with the result. The confidence Dr. Jang showed during the consultation is something I now trust fully.I hope my review can be a small reference for middle-aged men considering this surgery, and I will share a second update again at week 10. Thank you.
