Subbrow lifting

A surgical procedure designed to correct drooping outer corners of the eyes, which can result in a sad or tired appearance. This condition is often caused by excess skin that sags over time, especially as we age. This technique can also be performed on individuals who already have double eyelids but desire a more defined crease and a more uplifted outer corner.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision along the lower edge of the eyebrow. The length of the incision will vary depending on the individual's needs and the extent of the correction required. By making the incision in this location, the scar can be well-hidden within the natural contours of the eyebrow. Our ophthalmologist will carefully assess each patient's unique needs to develop a customized surgical plan. Ensuring the results of the surgery are both natural-looking and tailored to the individual's specific goals

Am I a candidate?

Generally, sub-brow blepharoplasty is a suitable procedure for most people, especially those who are concerned about the following :

Excess skin on the eyelids
Uneven or hidden double eyelids
Individuals with existing double eyelids who desire a more defined crease
Those seeking a more upturned or "cat-eye" appearance

What can I expect?

Recovery Process: The incision made during subbrow lifting will be carefully concealed along the lower edge of your eyebrow. It's common to experience some swelling and bruising around the eyes, especially during the first 1-2 days after surgery. By following your doctor's post-operative instructions and taking any prescribed medications, these side effects will gradually subside. Over time, the scar will fade and become less noticeable. The final results of the surgery will become apparent within 3 to 6 months, depending on individual healing rates. Although the aging process is inevitable, subbrow lifting can provide long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Potential Complications: While complications are rare, especially when performed by an experienced ophthalmologist, potential risks include:
- Asymmetry between the two eyes
- Numbness around the incision site
- Bleeding
- Infection
- The need for revision surgery
