Sub-brow Lift

Frustrated that drooping brows and eyelids have made your eyes look different than before?

Blocked view and reduced vision

Drooping lids cover part of the eye, creating a heavy, closed-in feeling

Irritated skin

Folds of skin overlap and trap sweat, causing inflammation and pain

Forehead wrinkles

To make up for the droop, you unconsciously lift your eyes with your forehead

Change in appearance

Drooping outer corners give you a gloomy look

“Shouldn't I just get double eyelid surgery?”

If you're worried about how double eyelid surgery might change your look, what you need is a sub-brow lift, which removes only the sagging skin without changing your eyelid line.

Can leaving drooping eyelids untreated speed up aging?

When drooping eyelids make you open your eyes with your forehead, deep wrinkles set in and the skin at the outer corners of your eyes becomes raw and irritated.

Before those wrinkles become more set, gently remove just the loose skin to regain comfortable vision and a more youthful look.

Blocked vision

The lids cover the iris, narrowing your upper field of vision.

Change in appearance

The outer corners droop, making you look gloomy and older.

Disappearing double eyelids

Your existing double eyelid line is covered and can no longer be seen.

Irritated outer corners

Folds of sagging skin touch, so sweat often builds up and the skin becomes raw or inflamed.

Eyelashes poking the eyes

The eyelid pushes the eyelashes down into the eye.

Forehead wrinkles

Heavy eyelids make you use your forehead muscles to open your eyes.

Chronic fatigue

Constant tension in the forehead and brow muscles leads to stiffness and migraines

Sub-brow lift

• This surgery is for when drooping eyelids and brows have narrowed the space between the eyes and eyebrows. It's similar to upper blepharoplasty, but the incision is made along the brow line and tissue is removed from just below the eyebrow.

How a sub-brow lift is performed

01. Precise one-on-one design

We analyze your double eyelid line, how much your eyelids droop, their shape and function, and more to plan your surgery.

02. Delicate tissue refinement

Following the surgical plan, only unnecessary skin and fat are removed. The tissue is then sutured to the periosteum to prevent drooping.

03. Detailed suturing

To minimize scarring, we suture with fine detail, following the shape of the eyebrow.

04. Your ideal eyes

Clear, defined, youthful eyes

When a sub-brow lift is needed

• Drooping eyelids block your vision
• You want to improve drooping and wrinkles without changing the shape of your eyes
• Drooping eyelids make you look older and tired
• Drooping eyelids hide your double eyelid line

Sub-brow lift

Which surgery is right for you?

Upper blepharoplasty

An incision along the double eyelid line removes skin and fat for clearer, more open-looking eyes

Sub-brow lift

An incision just below the eyebrow lifts the area while keeping your double eyelid line, so your look stays the same

Key points of our sub-brow lift

An incision that hides the scar

The incision follows the direction of the brow hairs, so the eyebrow keeps the incision mark from showing

Periosteal fixation to prevent recurrence

The muscle beneath the skin (orbicularis oculi) is firmly anchored to the periosteum for semi-permanent results

Designed around your eyebrow shape

A design that considers the eyebrow's shape, position, and even its angle after lifting

Suturing without scar worries

Delicate suturing along the grain of the skin and brow hairs for minimal scarring
