What is a Subbrow Lift? - Improving Sagging Eyes in Middle Age

‘Your children are independent now, it must be so nice to have them all grown up!’

On the other hand, you might feel just how much time has passed.

Especially when looking in the mirror, ‘sagging eyes’ can be a source of significant stress.

Don’t let it stress you out—consider a subbrow lift!

‘Is this a middle-age double eyelid surgery?’

If you ask that, my answer is ‘No!’

It is a procedure that improves eyelid sagging without creating or changing double eyelids.

‘A surgery that improves sagging eyes while creating a double eyelid? That is an Upper Blepharoplasty.’

The biggest difference between a subbrow lift and an upper blepharoplasty is whether the double eyelid line changes or not.

For those who want to improve sagging eyes while maintaining their current appearance as much as possible, a subbrow lift is more suitable.

However,

It is not recommended if the distance between your eyes and eyebrows is narrow.

A subbrow lift yields the best results when there is an appropriate gap between the eyes and the eyebrows.

Curious about the surgical method?

1. An incision is made directly under the eyebrow.

2. Sagging skin, muscle, and fat are removed.

3. The excised area is lifted and sutured.

What about people with eyebrow tattoos?

You might be curious about the surgical method for those with eyebrow tattoos.

For semi-permanent tattoos, the design is made right along the tattoo line; for natural eyebrows, it is designed closely underneath the brow.

Above all, the subbrow lift has a short recovery period of 1 to 2 weeks, allowing for a quick return to daily life.

Scars are also hidden by the eyebrows and are not very noticeable.

Gangnam Seoyeon minimizes scarring with 20 years of expertise and know-how.

As you can feel when touching your eyes, the skin around the eye area is thin and sensitive.

Therefore, the procedure must be performed delicately to ensure that blood vessels and nerves are not damaged.

That is why it is best to be operated on by a plastic surgery specialist with extensive experience. Dr. Choi Dong-il of Gangnam Seoyeon is confident in subbrow lifts, having handled numerous surgical cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sub-brow lift surgery a double eyelid surgery?

No, sub-brow lift surgery does not create new double eyelids; it only improves sagging eyelids. It is suitable for those who want to lift sagging skin while maintaining their existing double eyelid line and current eye shape as much as possible.

Is sub-brow lift surgery possible even if the space between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow?

No, it is not recommended if the space between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow. Sub-brow lift surgery requires a certain appropriate distance between the eyes and eyebrows to achieve natural and satisfactory results after the surgery.

Can I have surgery if I have semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos?

Yes, it is possible. If you have semi-permanent tattoos, the incision design is made right along the tattoo line. If you have natural eyebrows, the design is made right below the eyebrows, so you can have the surgery regardless of whether you have tattoos or not.

How long is the recovery period after sub-brow lift surgery?

It usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks. The recovery period is relatively short, allowing for a quick return to daily life. Additionally, the scar from the incision is hidden by the eyebrows, making it less noticeable.

What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty and sub-brow lift surgery?
