Sub-brow Lift
Without directly cutting or altering the eyelid, the skin around the eyebrow is incised to reveal your original eye shape for a naturally younger look
Sub-brow Lift
As aging begins, the skin around the eyes sags and wrinkles form, which causes functional discomfort.
When drooping eyelids narrow your field of vision, you use your forehead muscles to lift your eyelids, which creates forehead wrinkles.
It is similar to upper blepharoplasty, but because the incision is made at the eyebrow, the scar is barely visible after surgery.

Surgical Method
The patient's eyebrow position and eyelid condition are assessed to create a personalized surgical plan.
An incision is made in the skin just beneath the eyebrow, aligned with the eyebrow line as closely as possible to minimize scarring.
The skin and sagging tissue are then lifted and secured through the incision, and the remaining skin is trimmed and sutured.

Sub-brow Lift Q&A
-
Won't a sub-brow lift cause wrinkles on my forehead?A sub-brow lift does not pull the forehead. It lifts the eye area by removing the sagging skin just below the eyebrow. Because it does not touch the forehead muscles, there is almost no chance of forehead wrinkles forming. On the contrary, correcting the sagging eyelids helps improve wrinkles around the eyes and a tired look.
-
Can a sub-brow lift leave a noticeable scar?In a sub-brow lift, the incision is made just below the eyebrow, so it is hidden by the eyebrow line and relatively inconspicuous. However, a scar may remain in people who are prone to scarring or who have thin, sensitive skin. Post-surgical care, such as using scar ointment and sun protection, is important, and the scar can gradually fade over time.
-
Can a sub-brow lift improve forehead wrinkles as well as drooping eyelids?A sub-brow lift mainly improves drooping eyelids and does not directly improve forehead wrinkles themselves. However, if drooping eyelids have made you use your forehead often, you can expect the added benefit of softened forehead wrinkles as you use the forehead muscles less after surgery. If severe forehead wrinkles are your concern, combining it with Botox or a forehead lift may be more effective.
