FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about sub-brow lift.

What is sub-brow lift?

This operation makes an incision below the eyebrows and lifts sagging skin to address age-related sagging of the eyebrows and eyelids. It can restore the eye shape before the skin stretched, without double eyelid surgery.

Who may need sub-brow lift?

It suits people who want to preserve their existing double eyelid crease while correcting only sagging skin, whose drooping eyelids obstruct vision, whose eyelids droop as aging reduces skin elasticity, or whose loose eyelid skin causes irritation or eyelashes to poke the eyes.

How long does surgery take, and what anesthesia is used?

The operation takes about 30–40 minutes, uses sedation or local anesthesia, and allows discharge on the same day.

When are sutures removed after surgery?

Stitches are removed around 5–7 days after surgery.

Are sub-brow lift scars noticeable?

Because the incision follows the eyebrow border, the scar is barely noticeable.

Will my double eyelid crease remain after a sub-brow lift?

Yes. Because the procedure does not directly alter the eye shape, sagging skin alone can be corrected while preserving your existing double eyelid crease.

What are the steps in sub-brow lift?

A minimal incision is made below the eyebrow, the sagging eyelid skin is lifted upward, and it is firmly secured to the periosteum to prevent recurrent sagging before closure with fine sutures.

How long does recovery take?

Because the surgery does not directly involve the eye, swelling tends to be limited and recovery relatively quick. Daily activities can be resumed after stitch removal. Side effects such as bleeding and bruising may occur, and recovery time can vary with individual circumstances.

Can a sub-brow lift be combined with lower eyelid surgery or double eyelid surgery?

Yes. It is often combined with lower eyelid surgery or double eyelid surgery when you want to improve sagging eyelids, under-eye fat, and the double eyelid crease together. Learn about lower eyelid surgery Learn about double eyelid surgery

What are the benefits of a sub-brow lift?

Its main benefits are inconspicuous scars, a natural expression, preservation of the double eyelid crease, and a quick recovery.
