Key takeaways
Forehead lift case: her brows sat close to her eyes, which limited how wide her double eyelids could be, and she had forehead lines. After an assessment with Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao, she had a forehead lift through 4 incisions under 1 cm inside the hairline. Afterward there was mild pressure in her head and slight bruising around the eyes, and she couldn't wash her hair for five days. Two months later her forehead lines are gone and she no longer needs Botox.

"I'm Ling-Wei, I'm 28, and I'm currently between jobs. I had a forehead lift to improve the distance between my brows and eyes and my forehead lines. My brows have always sat close to my eyes, which limited my earlier double eyelid surgery; the crease could only be so wide, so I was never very happy with the result. My double eyelid doctor suggested a forehead lift to really fix these issues..."
The consultant explained the surgery in detail, and Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao is cheerful and easy to talk to
I've had quite a few surgeries, so I wasn't very nervous on the day. I'd also seen Dr. Kuo-Chun Liao's cases, and my impression of NAISS CLINIC was of a high-quality clinic, so I felt the chance of a bad outcome was small. I consulted other clinics too, but they didn't give me as much detailed information as NAISS, so I didn't consider them. My first impression of Dr. Liao was of a lively, cheerful, chatty person, and I think getting along with your doctor is a very important factor when choosing a clinic.

Can a facelift fix sagging and easily restore youthful skin?
A little pressure and ache during recovery, and recovery IV drips from NAISS CLINIC
When I woke up on surgery day I felt a little uncomfortable, because the incisions are in the scalp, so my head felt a bit of pressure and ache. I'm also prone to nausea from anesthesia, but otherwise I didn't feel anything particularly uncomfortable. During recovery there was a little bruising around my eyes, and I went back to the clinic for recovery IV drips and anti-inflammatory medication. You also can't wash your hair after surgery, and I wash my hair every day, so five days without washing my hair was the hardest part, hahahaha.
Incisions under 1 cm, hidden in the hair and hard to spot
The incisions are at 4 points along my hairline, and they've healed very well. The only thing is that as they scab, my hairline gets a bit itchy. You can hardly see them now, because each incision is under 1 cm and hidden in the hair; even if you part the hair you can't see them clearly. Just be careful not to brush too hard, so you don't pull the scalp backward.
Satisfaction 8, with more room to adjust my double eyelids
I'm 2 months post-op and my satisfaction is 8. I think I'll have double eyelid surgery again, because now that my forehead is lifted, my previous double eyelids feel a bit lacking, and I'll make them more symmetrical and defined. About half my friends didn't notice I'd had a forehead lift, because there are no visible scars and you can't tell from the outside. Those who did notice said my forehead looks smoother and my eyes look brighter.

Forehead lines gone, and bright, doll-like eyes
Since surgery my forehead lines are gone, so I don't need repeat Botox anymore. My forehead looks fuller, my eyes open wider and I look much more awake; people say I look like a doll. If you have forehead lines or close-set brows like me, I'd recommend a forehead lift; it can really help with these concerns~
