Subbrow Lift

Natural Improvement of Lateral Upper Eyelid Sagging

Improves sagging of the outer upper eyelid while naturally maintaining the existing eyelid crease

Subbrow Lift

A Subbrow Lift is a procedure that removes sagging skin beneath the eyebrows and lifts the outer upper eyelid skin that has drooped downward. It improves sagging of the upper eyelid skin, helping to create a more refreshed appearance. It is particularly effective for eyes with significant sagging at the outer upper eyelid. A Subbrow Lift is recommended for those who want to improve sagging of the upper eyelids without creating or altering the eyelid crease.

    After Surgery

If the outer part of the upper eyelid is sagging, Upper Blepharoplasty or Double Eyelid Surgery alone may not provide sufficient improvement.

A Subbrow Lift addresses the cause of the sagging by removing the skin that has lost elasticity in the outer upper eyelid area.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Removes excess sagging skin and fat
Changes the eyelid crease and eye shape

Upper Blepharoplasty
VS

Subbrow Lift

Lifts the sagging outer upper eyelid skin to improve the upper eyelids without changing the eye shape.

Subbrow Lift

Upper Blepharoplasty cannot improve sagging of the outer upper eyelid due to limitations in the extent of skin excision. For patients with significant sagging of the skin near the outer eyebrow, a Subbrow Lift, which effectively improves sagging of the outer upper eyelid skin, may be more appropriate. Depending on the overall degree of upper eyelid sagging, combining a Subbrow Lift with Upper Blepharoplasty or Double Eyelid Surgery may provide more effective improvement in the overall signs of aging around the eyes.

Subbrow Lift Solutions

A Subbrow Lift alone may provide sufficient improvement in some cases. However, if the overall upper eyelid sagging is severe or if the patient wants to change the eyelid crease, there may be limitations to what can be achieved with a Subbrow Lift alone. In such cases, AB provides a customized surgical plan based on the individual condition of the eyes.

Subbrow Lift / Lower Blepharoplasty

Postoperative complications such as bleeding, infection, or inflammation may occur, and the severity can vary depending on the individual. Postoperative photographs may differ from actual results due to variations in lighting, photography conditions, or makeup. Surgical outcomes vary from person to person; therefore, a thorough consultation is required to determine the most suitable treatment and expected results for each individual.

Frequently Asked Questions About Middle Age Eye Surgery

By removing dark circles, fat, and sagging skin, wrinkles can be reduced and the area under the eyes can be reshaped, helping create a more youthful appearance.
As the amount of fat decreases, hollowing or sagging may occur. Depending on the type of sagging, procedures such as Upper Blepharoplasty or a Subbrow Lift can effectively improve the sagging. By removing dark circles, fat, and sagging skin, wrinkles can be reduced and the area under the eyes can be reshaped, helping create a more youthful appearance.
Upper Blepharoplasty is performed by excising the upper eyelid skin and then removing fat and muscle. Lower Blepharoplasty is performed by making an incision just below the lower eyelashes and removing or repositioning fat and sagging skin.
The goal is to achieve aesthetic improvement together with functional improvement, while maintaining harmony with the overall facial features to create a natural and softer appearance.
Not necessarily. However, if you do not want a double eyelid crease, it is preferable to create an inner eyelid crease. When there is a significant amount of upper eyelid skin, simply removing the skin may not provide sufficient improvement, so an inner eyelid crease may be created. If you want a double eyelid crease, the height of the crease can be adjusted according to your preference. However, because the skin of middle aged patients is generally thicker, creating a high eyelid crease may result in an unnatural appearance. If you do not want a visible double eyelid crease, a nearly hidden inner eyelid crease can be created to enhance the surgical result.
To improve wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, a Subbrow Lift is required. Upper Blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes skin from the upper eyelid and lifts the sagging skin. Because wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes are located far from the area where skin is excised during Upper Blepharoplasty, it is difficult to improve these wrinkles with Upper Blepharoplasty alone. With a Subbrow Lift, the skin is lifted from beneath the eyebrow, which can also improve wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes.
No, it will not change significantly. The appearance will become softer and more relaxed. The purpose of Upper Blepharoplasty is to help the eyes open more comfortably. Because the existing eyelid crease is naturally corrected rather than creating an overly defined new crease, the change in appearance remains natural.
No. Ideally, surgery should restore the aegyo sal to the appearance it had when you were younger. Excessive removal of sagging lower eyelid skin and the orbicularis oculi muscle can result in a flat and expressionless appearance beneath the eyes. AB Middle Age Eye Surgery does not remove the orbicularis oculi muscle. Instead, additional fixation is performed to help restore the aegyo sal to its more youthful shape. Additional fixation of the orbicularis oculi muscle helps create volume beneath the eyes, while tightening the lower eyelid skin helps maintain a more youthful appearance for longer.
No. We focus on preventing lower eyelid retraction as much as possible. One of the representative complications of Lower Blepharoplasty is lower eyelid retraction, in which the lower eyelid is pulled downward and the eye appears everted. This can occur when too much skin or muscle is removed, or due to postoperative bleeding or scarring. AB Middle Age Eye Surgery minimizes skin and muscle removal and reinforces the outer corner of the eye to reduce the risk of lower eyelid retraction.
