Lift those sagging eyelids! Consider Upper Blepharoplasty~
Struggling with sagging eyelids? Learn the difference between Upper Blepharoplasty and Subbrow Lift, and find out why expert surgery is the key to a youthful look.
Lift those eyelids up~
Are you worried about sagging eyelids?
Some may experience sagging due to aging, while others in their 20s and 30s may be born with naturally heavy or drooping eyelids.
You might have tried high-end cosmetics or lifting procedures. But what should you do if your eyes continue to look droopy?
Ultimately, if you want long-lasting results, surgery is the answer!
There are two main options:
One is the Subbrow Lift, and the other is Upper Blepharoplasty.
The biggest difference between the two is...
Upper Blepharoplasty | Subbrow Lift |
Creates a double eyelid line | Maintains existing line |
The incision sites are also different.
Upper Blepharoplasty is on the eyelid
Subbrow Lift is right below the eyebrow
If you want to gain elasticity and see a visible change, Upper Blepharoplasty would be the better choice, right?
Let’s learn more about Upper Blepharoplasty~
It is not a surgery exclusively for the middle-aged!
We have young patients at our clinic who have achieved beautiful eyes through Upper Blepharoplasty.
In particular, young people with severe ptosis often undergo Upper Blepharoplasty.
To perform an incisional ptosis correction for severe cases, it must be done in conjunction with Upper Blepharoplasty!
So, what is the surgical method for Upper Blepharoplasty?
Since every individual has a different eye shape, fat distribution, and muscle structure, meticulous design is essential. Therefore, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience is more suitable for the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the biggest difference between upper blepharoplasty and sub-brow lift?
The main differences are the incision site and whether a double eyelid line is created. Upper blepharoplasty involves incising the eyelid to create a new double eyelid line, while a sub-brow lift involves incising just below the eyebrow to lift sagging skin while maintaining the existing line.
Is upper blepharoplasty only for middle-aged people?
No, it is not. Young people in their 20s and 30s can also undergo the surgery. Especially for young patients with naturally sagging eyelids or severe ptosis, upper blepharoplasty can be performed along with incisional ptosis correction to create clear and beautiful eyes.
What surgery is needed to correct severe ptosis?
Incisional ptosis correction and upper blepharoplasty should be performed together. In cases of severe ptosis, simply performing ptosis correction alone is not enough; upper blepharoplasty must be combined to effectively improve sagging eyelids and achieve a refreshed eye shape.
What are the criteria for choosing a hospital for upper blepharoplasty?
You should choose a place with a plastic surgeon who has extensive clinical experience. Since everyone has different eye shapes, fat, and muscle mass, meticulous customized design is essential, and it is good to check if they only recommend necessary surgeries.
