How long does swelling last after a forehead lift or brow lift in Korea?

In this patient's case, some swelling remained under her eyes and on her forehead at week three but improved daily, and by one month it was essentially gone. At three and a half months, no swelling remained at all. Swelling timelines vary from person to person.

When does scalp sensation return after a forehead lift?

This patient noted slight scalp numbness at week three, which is common at that stage of forehead lift recovery. By three and a half months, she said almost all sensation had returned to her hairline and forehead.

How long is recovery after alarplasty (nostril reduction)?

This patient's alarplasty had healed and largely settled by week three, and at one month only slight redness remained at the incision sites. Healing speed can vary depending on individual skin.

What should foreign patients look for when choosing a plastic surgery clinic in Korea?

It's worth checking whether the surgeon who consults with you will personally perform your surgery, and whether interpretation support is available from consultation through recovery. At VIEW Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, the consulting surgeon performs the operation directly with no ghost surgery, and interpretation support is offered for international patients. The scope of support may vary by patient, so please confirm during your consultation.

Plastic Surgery in Korea: My Experience at VIEW Plastic Surgery - VIEW Plastic Surgery Korea

This review features an actual patient of VIEW Plastic Surgery and is published with the patient’s consent.

1. What made you look into plastic surgery in Korea in the first place?

Korea has a reputation for very refined, natural-looking facial surgery. The surgeons there do these procedures every day, so I knew I’d be in experienced hands. What I wanted most was to look refreshed without looking ‘done.’

2. Why VIEW Plastic Surgery specifically?

Trust was the most important thing for me. I wanted to be sure that the doctor I consulted with would be the one actually performing my surgery, and VIEW made that very clear from the start. As a foreign patient, I was also worried about communication. But I had interpretation support from my consultation all the way through recovery, so I always understood what was happening and never felt lost.

3. What did you want to change?

I always looked tired, even when I wasn’t. I wanted a more lifted, bright and well-rested look, and I wanted a slightly softer, more refined nose.

4. How did you feel three weeks after surgery?

Overall, I felt so good about everything. I still had a little numbness in my scalp, which is totally expected at that stage, but my incisions were almost completely healed and my scalp line looked amazing. I still had some swelling under my eyes and a bit on my forehead, but it improved every day.

5. Could you already see results?

Yes, and they already looked fantastic. I looked so much more lifted, bright and well rested. That constant tired look was completely gone. I especially love the subtle ‘dolly eye’ effect from the brow and forehead lift. It opened up my eyes in the prettiest, most natural way. My alarplasty healed beautifully and had basically settled already.

6. What about one month after surgery?

Healing was almost 100% complete. The swelling was gone, and there was only slight redness at the incision sites. I love my lifted brows and my nose. They look absolutely natural.

7. And now, at three and a half months?

There’s no swelling left. The only thing I still notice is a slight feeling from the Endotine implants along my hairline, and that’s less noticeable every month as they dissolve. I have almost all the sensation back in my hairline and forehead, everything is healing beautifully, and I look so refreshed and awake.
