Glabellar furrows - what surgical options will improve this? (Photo)

Hi, I’m Dr. Park from Noonopi Plastic Surgery in Korea.
In my experience, an endoscopic brow lift alone is usually sufficient.
During the endoscopic brow lift, the corrugator muscles are excised internally, so there’s no need for an additional incision near the eyebrows—which could potentially leave visible scars.
I would not recommend fat grafting or implants in the glabellar area, as the skin in this region is quite thin and such additions can appear unnatural or bulky.

Thank you for your question. When neuromodulators and fillers don’t provide satisfactory results for deep glabellar furrows, surgical options like corrugator muscle excision can be highly effective, especially if your wrinkles are dynamic and muscle-driven.
Fat grafting is often preferred over synthetic implants due to its natural integration and lower risk of complications, though careful placement is key to avoid over-bulking. A direct browlift or glabellar skin excision may also be considered in select cases.
A personalized assessment is essential to determine the best approach based on skin thickness, muscle activity, and wrinkle depth. You’re on the right path by exploring these advanced options.
