Forehead lift cost

How much does a forehead lift cost in Seoul at Rewind?

The figure, in one paragraph

Rewind Plastic Surgery lists its endoscopic forehead lift as one line on the fee schedule, and that line is the whole operation: the design, the hairline incision, the dissection down to the brow under a Full HD endoscope, the lift itself and the Endotine device that holds it. The anaesthetic fee is already included, and VAT is added on top. The clinic keeps no cheaper version of the operation without Endotine, so anyone comparing quotes is looking at one complete figure, shown in the pricing section further down this page.

Basis: Rewind's published fee schedule for upper-face surgery and the clinic's Korean-language page describing endoscopic forehead lifting with Endotine fixation.

A forehead lift quote assumes the brow has come down. If the forehead is tall and the brows sit where they always have, the price you need belongs to forehead reduction, which brings the hairline forward and is listed separately; when both apply, Rewind lists the pair as one combined plan. The rest of this page stays with the brow lift: what its figure contains, what changes it, and what it leaves out.

Cases

Case photographs

Two forehead cases and the price line each one falls under

Case photographs seldom tell you what the operation cost. These two come from Rewind's own archive, and because each caption lists every procedure carried out in that session, you can match a pair to a line on the fee schedule. The first is the forehead lift on its own, the operation this page prices. The second combined the lift with forehead reduction, double-chin liposuction, platysma tightening and subplatysmal fat removal, which would be quoted as several lines.

Both patients were treated at Rewind and photographed facing the camera at the clinic; the pictures are published unretouched and with written consent. The backdrop and the make-up are not the same on each visit, so judge the brow against the eyelid and the hairline. Individual results may vary, and a combined session changes more than a single operation does. Surgery in this area can bring bleeding, infection, bruising, swelling, uneven brow height, altered scalp sensation and a scar inside the hairline.

Inside the figure

What the forehead lift price at Rewind includes

Four things are folded into the listed forehead lift figure or sit directly beside it. Knowing which is which makes two quotes far easier to compare.

part 01
The operation from design to closure
A one-to-one design, the long incision along the hairline, dissection of the forehead and temple down to the brow, the lift of the skin and muscle layer, removal of surplus tissue and closure. All of it is one priced operation.
part 02
The Endotine device
The five-tine absorbable fixation that holds the lifted layer is inside the figure. Rewind records that the body absorbs it over roughly nine months, so no removal operation is planned or charged.
part 03
The anaesthetic fee
Rewind's listed surgical prices already include the anaesthetic fee. The type of anaesthesia is not stated in the clinic's published material, and it is explained at the consultation.
part 04
VAT, added on top
Listed figures exclude VAT, which is added when the fee is settled. Quotes are prepared in Korean won, so any conversion into another currency is an approximation.
Quote

Building the quote

How a forehead lift quote is put together at a Rewind consultation

The fee schedule is public, yet the line that applies to you depends on what the examination finds. Five steps turn a face into a figure.

01Examine

Brow height, lid weight and hairline are assessed before any forehead lift figure

Dr. Jonghwan Choi looks at where the brow sits, how much upper-lid skin it is pulling down and how tall the forehead is. Those three findings decide which operation, or which pair of operations, is actually being priced.

02Select

One forehead lift line, or the combined upper-face line

A descended brow alone points to the forehead lift figure. A descended brow on a tall forehead points to the combined lift-and-reduction figure. Hooding that sits in the lid skin, with the brow at a normal height, points to a different operation altogether.

03Separate

Anything beyond the forehead lift appears as its own item

Each operation on Rewind's schedule carries a figure of its own. If eyelid, neck or midface work is discussed at the same visit, it is added as a further line, so the forehead lift portion of a larger plan stays visible.

04Confirm

The forehead lift figure is confirmed in won, before VAT

The quote states the listed amount in Korean won, with VAT shown on top. The anaesthetic fee does not appear twice, because it already sits inside the operation's figure.

05Plan

Reviews and the length of stay are planned alongside the price

Rewind publishes no fixed number of days for patients travelling in. The dressing days, the reviews and the flight home are planned with the surgeon when the operation date is agreed.

Why here

Why Rewind prices the forehead lift as one complete operation

Two quotes for a brow lift can differ because they describe different things: one includes the fixation device, another adds it later, one covers the lift alone, another folds in hairline work. Rewind lays out its schedule so that those differences are visible.

01Device

Endotine belongs to the forehead lift and carries no separate charge

According to Rewind, the fixation device is approved by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and by the US FDA, and it is absorbed over about nine months. Because every forehead lift at the clinic is fixed this way, the device is built into the listed figure.

02Combination

The upper-face combination has a line of its own

When the brow needs raising and the hairline needs lowering, Rewind lists the combination as a single item. It can be weighed against doing only one of the two, since each part is also priced on its own.

03Continuity

The surgeon who quotes the forehead lift is the surgeon who operates

Dr. Jonghwan Choi, a board-certified plastic surgeon and the clinic's medical director, examines, designs, operates and runs each review. Consultations are held Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 19:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00, by appointment, and Rewind is registered with KHIDI to treat international patients.

Rewind occupies the fourth and fifth floors of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, Gangnam, and a forehead lift is handled there from consultation to the last review. The costs a traveller carries outside the fee, such as accommodation and flights, are not on the clinic's list, so the shape of your stay is worth fixing at the same consultation as the price. Interpreter-assisted consultation is arranged for patients who need it.

Included in the figure: the anaesthetic fee

Cost

Pricing

Forehead lift prices at Rewind, line by line

Four lines on the fee schedule matter to anyone pricing a brow lift in Seoul: the forehead lift itself, the lift combined with hairline lowering, hairline lowering alone, and the sub-brow lift that is often weighed against it.

Endoscopic forehead lift with Endotine fixationHairline incision, endoscopic dissection to the brow, absorbable fixation included
₩4,500,000
Forehead lift combined with forehead reductionBrow raised and hairline brought forward in one operation, listed as a single item
₩8,500,000
Forehead reduction on its ownHairline lowering, also fixed with Endotine, for a tall forehead with the brow in place
₩4,500,000
Sub-brow lift, shown for comparisonSkin excised just under the brow for lid hooding; a different operation with its own plan
₩2,900,000

All four are list prices excluding VAT, each with the anaesthetic fee inside it. The line that applies is the one the examination supports, and a second operation discussed at the same visit is priced as a line of its own.

Fit

Suitability

When the forehead lift figure is the right one to compare

The forehead lift line fits when

  • The brow has descended and is pressing the upper-lid skin down
  • Forehead and frown lines have set in along with the lower brow
  • The brows make the face look tired, gloomy or harsher than intended
  • The hairline sits at an ordinary height, so no forehead shortening is needed
  • A hairline incision, a day or two in a dressing and a couple of weeks of bruising are acceptable

Price a different line when

  • The forehead is tall while the brows are in position: forehead reduction is the operation to quote
  • The weight sits in the eyelid skin itself: compare the sub-brow lift or upper blepharoplasty
  • Previous hairline surgery, grafts or scalp conditions exist, which are disclosed first and may change the plan
  • A bleeding disorder, blood-thinning medication or poor wound healing is present
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding or an active infection in the area postpones the date
After

After the operation

What follows a forehead lift, and what it costs you in time

Rewind's price list carries no separate aftercare line for this operation. What recovery asks of you is mostly time, and the clinic's written instructions show where that time goes.

First one to two days
Compression dressing
The dressing stays on for one to two days, with the head kept raised to limit swelling. Plan to stay close to the clinic for this period.
Up to two weeks
Bruising and swelling settle
Rewind records that early bruising and swelling mostly go down within one to two weeks. The forehead muscles are rested during that time.
The following weeks
A quiet routine
Sauna, strong massage, alcohol, smoking, hair colouring and pulling against the lift are avoided for a period, and the incision is kept clean.
Five years and beyond
What the figure buys
The clinic records the result as usually lasting more than five years, depending on tissue elasticity and how much was lifted. Ageing itself continues.

Risks never appear on a price list, so they are set out here: bleeding, infection, swelling, bruising, uneven brow height, numbness or altered feeling across the scalp, temporary weakness when raising the forehead, and a scar within the hairline. Severe pain or a fever means returning to the clinic promptly.

Questions

Forehead lift cost: questions asked before booking

How much does a forehead or brow lift cost in Seoul at Rewind?
Rewind lists the endoscopic forehead lift with Endotine fixation at ₩4,500,000, excluding VAT. That single figure covers the operation from design to closure, the absorbable fixation device and the anaesthetic fee. VAT is added on top when the fee is settled, and any additional operation is priced separately.
Does an Endotine forehead lift cost more than a standard brow lift?
At Rewind the comparison does not arise, because every forehead lift on the list is fixed with Endotine and there is no cheaper version without it. The sub-brow lift is listed lower, at ₩2,900,000, but it removes skin beneath the brow and leaves the forehead where it is.
What does the combined forehead lift and forehead reduction plan cost?
The combination is listed as one item at ₩8,500,000, before VAT. It suits a brow that has descended on a forehead that is also tall. Whether both parts are needed is decided at the examination, and each part can also be booked on its own.
Is VAT included in the forehead lift price?
No. Rewind's surgical prices are listed excluding VAT, which is added at payment. The anaesthetic fee, by contrast, is already inside the listed figure. Quotes are given in Korean won, so a dollar amount you work out yourself is only an approximation.
Is Endotine charged separately when it is used in forehead reduction?
No. Forehead reduction on its own is also listed with Endotine fixation included, at ₩4,500,000 before VAT. On neither line does the device appear as a separate charge, and according to the clinic the body absorbs it over about nine months.
Will the quote change if other areas are treated in the same session?
Each operation on Rewind's schedule has its own figure, so a second procedure means a second line on the quote. Eyelid, neck or midface work discussed at the same visit is listed separately, which keeps the forehead lift portion of a larger plan easy to see.
Is there a consultation fee?
Rewind has issued notices about consultation charges, but their details are not part of the written material this page is based on. Ask when you book the appointment, so that the amount, if any, is known before you arrive at the clinic in Apgujeong.
How many days in Seoul should I budget for?
Rewind publishes no fixed length of stay. The compression dressing stays on for one to two days, and bruising and swelling mostly settle within one to two weeks. The review dates and a sensible flight home are agreed with the surgeon when the operation date is set.

Scientific evidence

Published research on combined upper-face surgery and treatment abroad

The first paper describes hairline lowering performed during an endoscopic forehead lift, the combination that has its own line on Rewind's schedule. The second examines safety reporting in outpatient surgical facilities, and the third reviews the evidence on patients who travel for treatment. None of them concerns Rewind's patients or prices, and none can predict an individual result.
