K-Art Volume Forehead Surgery where implants, fat injections, and fillers are not needed to create a natural voluminous forehead line.
Fillers, fat injections, and silicone are risky & short-lived each has their own side-effects, none are used in our Volume Forehead Surgery.
K-Art's unique method is to endoscopically move and reposition your eyebrow tissue (soft tissue) to the center of your forehead.
The benefit of using your own soft tissue: It is composed mostly of muscle that is safe to move and nearly permanent. With this method, re-absorption isn't possible. Fat and filler injections can dislodge and move to other parts of the face, creating problems later on. While silicone implants can erode the bone underneath it over time...
However, the appearance of a natural forehead contour is possible.
Independently developed surgical
methods and technology:
Volume forehead surgery, lifting, volume, eyebrow bone rasping,
eyehole bone rasping, endoscopic incision,
and over 80% of the eyebrow muscle can be excised.Minimum incisions
All these surgeries are possible with small incisions of 1 cm on the scalp,
by endoscopic surgery. 3 incisions for males
and 2 more incisions of 0.6 cm for women.Site of incisions
3-5 cm back from the hairline to the scalp side,
and three 1 cm incisions from the side of the hairline on the scalp.
Volume forehead plastic surgery includes 3 surgeries done
simultaneously to completely transform the forehead.
Volume
Improve the forehead contour with natural volume.Lifting
Remove horizontal wrinkles across the forehead and prevent future recurrence.
Correcting the position and angle eyebrows based on the patient's desired outcome.Corrugator Excision
prevention and removal of vertical wrinkles between
the eyebrows and wrinkles around the eyebrows.
80% of the muscle that create wrinkles between the eyebrows can be removed,
which immediately reverses forehead aging and helps to prevent new occurrences.
Endoscopic Surgery for Asymetrical or Tilted Brows
Endoscopic surgery can correct
eyebrow asymmetry and tilted eyebrows to some extent.
Art Volume Forehead Surgery
A new concept Art Volume Forehead Surgery that overcomes the limitations of conventional forehead surgery
New surgical concept that improves the forehead line with a natural volume
without injecting external substances such as fillers, fat, or implants (silicone, bone cement, etc.)
without injecting external substances such as fillers, fat, or implants (silicone, bone cement, etc.)
The protruded of the eyebrow bone causes bossing of brow area and grooved or flat forehead.
Many hospitals to this day use injections of fillers, fat, implants, few filing of the groove, etc.
While such method is simple, it has many side effects and often results in
unnatural-looking foreheads. Injected fat tends to become uneven or deformed during the
injection process or absorption process. They easily tend to migrate downward and get absorbed,
so they do not last long and can easily change shape. After a certain period, complications such as hematoma or
fluid accumulation may easily occur. They can erode the forehead
bone over time, leading to serious side effects.

Advantages of Art Volume Forehead Surgery
There are no side effects such as absorption, downward flow, or bone erosion
as with fillers, fat, or implants. Unlike the injection method of external substances,
the forehead line becomes very natural. Fillers or fat are often absorbed and deformed over time, so they are
frequently reinjected. Art Volume Forehead Surgery on the other hand is
almost permanent. It maintains the volume even as one ages. * Volume Forehead Surgery, alongside with procedures such as
lifting and Corrugator muscle resection, comprehensively
improves various problems of the forehead! The forehead not only has issues with contours such as brow bone bossing or a flat forehead, but also wrinkles.
K-ART performs volume forehead surgery along with corrugator muscle excision and lifting to comprehensively improve
various forehead issues.

Lift
Improves horizontal wrinkles and delays aging, lifts sagging eyebrows, adjusts the slope of the eyebrows to some extent,
and has a widening effect on a narrow forehead
Sufficient excision of the Corrugator muscle
If only a small amount of the Corrugator muscle, which is the muscle responsible for frowning, is removed
then frowning wrinkles usually recur after about a year. K-ART removes the Corrugator muscle sufficiently
to prevent the recurrence of wrinkles in the glabella area for a long time.
This prevents strong and negative facial expressions, improving the impression to be bright and young.
Eyebrow Bone Rasping
With the K-ART's endoscopic brow bone rasping
get forehead line improvement! Deep eye improvement! Softer Impression!
❶
Minimal scarring and fast recovery with the world’s smallest incision
Approximately 1cm in the scalp (Three ~1cm for men, two additional ~0.6cm for women)
Many hospitals perform brow bone reduction under general anesthesia.They make a long incision across the entire scalp from ear to ear (coronary incision),
cut off the eyebrow bone and reduce it, and reattach it with pins & screws.
Hair must be trimmed wide for such operation and the scalp incision leaves a
long scar, resulting in a large area with hair loss. K-ART performs endoscopic surgery with the world's smallest incision line,
minimizing scars and allowing for rapid recovery.
❷
Dr. Kim’s unique surgical methods that maximizethe effect of improving the grooved forehead line! As shown in the X-ray image, protruding eyebrow bones are usually very thin.
rasping alone has its limitations for those with thin eyebrow bones compared
to the degree of protrusion.
At K-ART, even individuals with thin eyebrow bones
can achieve enhanced reduction effects through
endoscopic surgery with the world's smallest incision lines.
The infracture method pushes frontal sinus wall inward
(into the hollow space that appear black in the X-Rays),
achieving further reduction of the protrusion.
This can only be done by K-ART. Dr. Kim performs forehead volume surgery (relocating soft tissue under the
eyebrow to the grooved area in the forehead) along with eyebrow bone reduction.
This not only achieves a reduction in the eyebrow bone but also
improves the entire forehead to a smooth and round natural volume forehead line.
Eyehole Bone Rasping
Deep eyes, stuffy looking eyes, and strong impression that
cannot be solved with eye plastic surgery, solve it with eyehole
bone rasping! Only at K-ART! Eyehole bone - protruding bone below the outer end of the eyebrow
cannot be solved with eye plastic surgery, solve it with eyehole
bone rasping! Only at K-ART! Eyehole bone - protruding bone below the outer end of the eyebrow
When the eyehole bone protrudes, the eyelids look stuffy, the eyes look small, and the eyes look deeper and uncomfortable.
In order to improve such eyes, one may repeatedly attempt surgeries such as epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty,
eyelid fat removal, and sub brow lift.
However, there are limitations in improvement as the eyehole bone itself cannot be enlarged.
Leaving the root cause, the protruding eyehole bone, and performing repeated surgeries on the eyelids
can make the eyes look more unnatural, and the amount of remaining skin of the eyelids can become insufficient,
causing significant problems.
In fact, among those who visited our clinic, many complained of discomfort due to dry eyes because they had insufficient
amount of skin on the eyelids and the eyes don’t close completely.

As the problem lies in the protruding eyehole bone,
it is resolved not by eye plastic surgery but by eyehole bone rasping!
More dramatic effects than eye plastic surgery! By shaving off and lowering protruding bone at the end of the eyelids,
you can achieve a dramatic effect of larger, and softer looking eyes.

Improve Deep Eyes with Eyehole Bone Shaving!
Shaded eyes, deep eyes giving a strong impression and aged look
Improve to brighter and softer impression through K-ART’s
eyebrow bone shaving and eyehole bone shaving! Improve deep eyes!
eyebrow bone shaving and eyehole bone shaving! Improve deep eyes!
In general, when the eyebrow bone and eyehole bone protrude, the gap
between the eyes and the eyebrows is narrow, making the eyes appear deep and shadowed.
This makes you look older and gives a strong impression.
To improve deep eyes, brow lifting (ptosis correction) is performed to create distance between the eyes and eyebrows.
Also, shaving and lowering the protruding eyebrow bone and eyehole bones improves deep eyes. Forehead surgery only at K-ART Improve deep eyes! Get beautiful volumous forehead line!

K-ART performs forehead volume surgery, eyebrow bone shaving, and eyehole bone shaving at the same time,
providing the benefit of both improving deep eyes and getting smooth and natural volume in the forehead without wrinkles.
The endoscopic surgery makes minimal incisions, three ~1cm incisions (two additional ~0.6cm for women),
resulting in quick recovery and minimizing scarring.
Revision Surgery
No more failures! The last forehead surgery of my life! Forehead revision surgery!
There are two types of people who seek revision surgery at K-Art
Those with complications from injections such as fillers, fat, and implants of silicone or bone cement
can fundamentally solve these problems that are caused
by the injection or insertion of foreign substances.
Since fat gets absorbed, it needs to be injected repeatedly. During this process,
fat doesn't be injected evenly or get absorbed uniformly,
leading to an uneven surface and requiring revision surgery
Similar to fat, fillers get absorbed and can also migrate downward,
making the forehead uneven and necessitating removal and revision surgery.
Silicone implant can shift its position or cause issues like nerve irritation,
and over time, blood or body fluids(seroma) often accumulate around it.
These symptoms typically occur suddenly 5 to 10 years after insertion.
Once blood or fluids start accumulating,
the intervals between occurrences become shorter and shorte.
This is dueto a kind of delayed rejection response.
And the edges become visible due to the capsular contracture.
However biggst issue is that the forehead bone continues to erode and sink
because of the implant, making removal necessary.
can fundamentally solve these problems that are caused
by the injection or insertion of foreign substances.
Those who did not get the desired results after getting surgery at another hospital
There is an increasing number of people who,
after undergoing eyebrow bone and eye hole bone reduction surgery at another hospital,
did not get the expected results because the wrong areas were cut or the surgery was ineffective,
leading them to seek revision surgery.
It is very unfortunate that the number of such cases has been increasing recently. There is an increasing number of people who underwent eyebrow bone and eye hole bone
reduction surgery at other hospitals but found the results ineffective or minimal.
Since other hospitals do not perform volume forehead surgery,
they often inject fat into the forehead simultaneously with eyebrow bone reduction to create volume.
However, this usually results in severe unevenness, causing more and more
people to seek revision surgery from Dr. Kim at K-Art. As a result, not only do you have to endure the hardship and cost of two surgeries,
but the previous surgery also makes the revision surgery much more difficult in achieving sufficient results.
After the initial surgery, adhesions from scarring can complicate volume surgery or corrugator muscle resection,
and the hardening of the bones makes eyebrow bone shaving or infracture surgery even more difficult.
This is very unfortunate.
Therefore, since revision surgery can double both the physical
and financial burden and also limit the effectiveness of the surgery,
it is important to take a more cautious approach
and make careful choices from the beginning to avoid taking the wrong path.

Forehead Reduction Surgery
Forehead reduction without sensory loss! Improve volume and forehead line!
Endoscopic forehead surgeries (eyebrow bone reduction, eyehole bone shaving,
volume forehead surgery, Corrugator muscle resection, etc.) can be performed alongside
with forehead reduction surgery. At K-ART Plastic Surgery, we can perform endoscopic forehead surgeries such as eyebrow bone reduction,
eye hole bone shaving, volume surgery, and forehead lift alongside with forehead reduction surgery.
Therefore, in addition to reducing the size of the forehead, there are comprehensive improvements on various forehead issues,
such as creating a smooth, volumous forehead line, improving deep eyes, and reducing wrinkles.

If you are concerned
about a wide forehead,
consider
forehead reduction surgery An excessively wide forehead and high hairline can significantly
deviate from the ideal facial proportions and make the face appear larger,
often leading people to cover their foreheads with hair.
However, there are limits to covering the forehead with hair.
To confidently show your forehead, you need to actually
reduce its width and create a round, voluminous shape.
There are two main types of surgery to lower the hairline.

There are two main types of surgery to lower the hairline.
1. Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is suitable for young people with a wrinkle-free, rounded forehead, or men with an M-shaped hairline.
The advantage of hair transplant is that it does not leave a scar along the hairline.
However, since the density of the transplanted hair usually differs from that of the existing hair,
it often needs to be repeated twice, which requires considerable amount of time and money.

However, since the density of the transplanted hair usually differs from that of the existing hair,

2. Forehead Reduction Surgery
Forehead reduction surgery involves excising the skin below the hairline to reduce the forehead.
A significant drawback of the traditional forehead reduction surgery is that it involves cutting through the entire
thickness of the forehead scalp, which severs sensory nerves.
This can result in prolonged loss of sensation or abnormal sensation in the scalp after surgery At K-ART Plastic Surgery, we preserve the fascial layer through which the nerves
pass and excise only the skin and subcutaneous tissue,
making it possible to reduce a wide forehead without sensory loss. At K-ART, Forehead reduction surgery is generally performed alongside an endoscopic forehead lift.
In such cases, not only is the scalp pulled downwards, but the skin excess increases as the eyebrows are lifted upwards.
Therefore, there is excess skin from both the top and bottom, significantly enhancing the reduction effect.

Important Points of Forehead Reduction Surgery!
Minimizing Scarring and Hair Loss! Given the nature of the surgery, the incision line is long,
making it crucial to minimize scarring and hair loss. At K-ART, we meticulously make incisions along the existing hairline
and perform precise suturing to minimize scarring and hair loss.
Furthermore the recovery is also faster.

Hair removal on scalp often fail to produce satisfactory results even with repeated attempts,
and successful hair removal does not improve the contour of the forehead.
Additionally, procedures like fat transplant to add volume may provide a plumping effect but come
with many side effects and do not actually widen the forehead.
Narrow foreheads often have ridges, a flat appearance, or a backward-sloping shape.
In such cases, enhancing volume is crucial to achieving a more pronounced forehead augmentation & expanding effect.
