Open the Eyes, Smooth the Lid—Without Changing Your Natural Look

Sub Brow Lift (Subbrow Excision / Sub-browpexy) elevates and supports skin just beneath the eyebrow to reduce upper-lid heaviness, hooding, and lateral droop while preserving your eyelid crease. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, a female board-certified facial surgeon plans millimeter-level lifts for crisp, natural eye openness—not an over-pulled look.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Lateral or central eyelid hooding with intact crease
• Heavy skin under the brow causing makeup smudge or tired look
• Previous double-eyelid surgery with recurrent hooding
• Desire lift with hidden scar along the brow’s lower border
• Realistic expectations and healthy skin

Why Choose a Sub Brow Lift

• Targets excess skin directly where it forms (under the brow)
• Preserves your natural eyelid crease and eye shape
• Concealable scar camouflaged at the brow margin
• Can be combined with ptosis repair, brow-tail lift, or upper blepharoplasty

Surgical Technique

• Precise skin marking along the inferior brow line
• Elliptical skin excision ± conservative orbicularis trimming
• Browpexy (fixation) to periosteum for durable support (case-by-case)
• Fine layered closure to minimize scar visibility and brow hair disruption

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or local only, depending on plan
• Time: ~45–90 minutes (one or both sides)
• Dressings: fine tapes; no bulky bandages
• Discharge: same-day with detailed aftercare

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruise: 3–7 days (makeup usually after day 3–4 if cleared)
• Suture removal: 5–7 days
• Scar maturation: 6–12 weeks, fading along the brow line
• Social downtime: typically 3–7 days

Results You Can Expect

• Lighter upper lids with improved lash-to-brow distance
• Better lateral hooding reduction and eye openness
• More durable hat/hood-friendly lift than skin-only blepharoplasty alone
• Natural expression—no over-arched or surprised brow

Aftercare

• Cold compresses first 48 hours, head elevation for 1 week
• Clean incisions as instructed; SPF 50+ once healed
• Avoid heavy exercise, sauna, and brow waxing 2 weeks
• Silicone gel/taping or laser polish may be advised for scar finesse

Combination Options

• Ptosis repair for weak levator (true eyelid droop)
• Brow-tail thread or endoscopic lift for added lateral elevation
• Upper blepharoplasty for crease shaping or fat debulking
• Laser toning / LDM for post-op redness and texture refinement

Safety & Suitability

• Not for active skin disease or uncontrolled medical conditions
• Careful assessment for dry eye, brow position, and eyelid symmetry
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar care to reduce PIH risk
• Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon with meticulous hemostasis

FAQs

Will the scar be obvious?
It’s placed along the lower brow border and typically blends with brow hairs as it matures.

Does it change my eye shape?
It reduces skin hooding while preserving your crease and natural shape.

How long do results last?
Aging continues, but fixation/browpexy offers long-term support; maintenance options can be discussed.
