Three foreheads, and where to look in each

Brow lift results
What the three pairs show
In Rewind's three forehead cases the brow sits higher in relation to the eye after surgery, more of the upper eyelid is visible, and the eyes read as more open. In one pair the horizontal forehead lines are visibly softer. Only the first case is a forehead lift performed alone; the other two combine it with further operations, and the caption under each pair lists every one of them.
Basis: Rewind's case archive for the forehead lift, framed from forehead to nose, with the list of procedures for each session taken from the case record.
Rewind does not publish a millimetre figure for how far the brow rises. The height is drawn at the design stage for each face, and that same design is what you would discuss at a consultation. If your concern is a tall forehead with the brow in place, the results to look at sit on the forehead reduction page, because that operation changes the hairline and leaves the brow where it is.
Case photographs
The pairs run in order of how much else was done. Case 01 is the forehead lift and nothing more, the cleanest view of what the brow operation changes by itself. Case 02 added forehead reduction, double-chin liposuction, platysma tightening and subplatysmal fat removal. Case 03 combined a partial facelift with the forehead lift and under-eye fat repositioning, which also affect the lower lid and the cheek.
BEFOREAFTER
BEFOREAFTER
BEFOREAFTEREach frame shows a Rewind patient photographed front-on at the clinic and published unretouched with written consent. Backdrop colour and make-up differ between visits in some pairs, so compare brow height against the eyelid and hairline position against the forehead. Individual results may vary. Possible effects of surgery here include bleeding, infection, bruising, swelling, brow asymmetry, altered scalp sensation and a hairline scar.
Reading the pairs
Brow photographs are easy to misread, because anyone can raise the brows for the camera. These four landmarks hold up better than an overall impression.
Where the change comes from
Every visible difference in the pairs traces back to a published step of the operation. Reading the steps makes it easier to tell what the brow lift did and what the combined operations added.
Rewind's first step is a one-to-one design drawn before the incision. The new brow position is agreed there, so the degree of lift differs between the three faces by intention.
Working from the hairline, the skin and fascial layer of the forehead and temple are freed down to the brow while a Full HD endoscope shows the nerves and vessels in that plane. The brow can only move if the dissection reaches it.
The freed layer is drawn upward. Because the brow travels with it, the eyelid skin above the eye rises too, and that accounts for the extra lid visible after surgery.
Surplus tissue is removed and the lifted layer is fixed with Endotine, a device with five tines on a small support. Rewind records that it is absorbed over about nine months, by which time the tissue has healed in place.
Early swelling and bruising mostly subside within one to two weeks. Photographs taken inside that window show a forehead that is still changing.

Why these photographs
A result photographed after three operations can look like the work of one. Rewind's captions are written to prevent that, and the clinic's single-surgeon structure means the same person designed, operated on and reviewed each case shown here.
Two of the three cases involved more than a forehead lift. Their captions list every procedure performed, so a reader can separate what the brow operation contributed from what the facelift, eyelid or neck work added.
The pairs appear as photographed at the clinic, unretouched, and each patient gave written consent for publication. Nothing has been adjusted to even out the backdrop or the make-up between visits.
Dr. Jonghwan Choi, board-certified plastic surgeon and medical director, operated on all three patients. He sees patients by appointment on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday between 10:00 and 19:00, and on Saturday between 10:00 and 16:00; Thursday and Sunday are closed days.
Where the cases were treated

All three patients were operated in Rewind's theatre on the fourth and fifth floors of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, Gangnam, and photographed at the clinic with a headband holding the hair clear of the forehead. The framing, from forehead to nose, keeps the brow, the eyelid and the forehead lines in view. Patients travelling from abroad are supported in their own language at every visit.
Board-certified plastic surgeon
Every case on this page was designed and operated on by Dr. Jonghwan Choi, who is certified in Korea as a plastic surgery specialist and has published ten peer-reviewed papers. Rewind treats international patients under KHIDI registration M-2025-01-08-09288.
Pricing
Each case maps onto the fee schedule differently. The forehead parts are listed below; the other procedures in cases 02 and 03 are planned and quoted on examination.
Figures are list prices excluding VAT, with the anaesthetic fee included. The neck contouring in case 02 and the facelift and eyelid work in case 03 are quoted as separate lines once the examination has confirmed them.
Suitability
When to judge
The captions on this page do not state how long after surgery each after photograph was taken, so treat them as results at a later review. The clinic's recovery record gives the milestones that matter when you judge your own.
Judging too early can mislead, because swelling changes how the forehead looks while it lasts. Brow asymmetry, altered sensation across the scalp and a visible line within the hairline are among the outcomes to raise at review. Severe pain or a fever calls for a prompt return to the clinic.
At Rewind, one board-certified plastic surgeon carries every case — from the first consultation to the final follow-up. Because a face is a story, and a story deserves a single author.

Scientific evidence
The first paper explains how standardised photography affects what a pair of clinical images can show. The second describes hairline lowering during an endoscopic forehead lift, the combination seen in case 02, and the third reviews forehead reduction in Asian patients. They describe the field, report no Rewind cases and cannot predict any single result.
