What Is Sub Brow Lift?

Sub Brow Lift is a procedure that removes excess upper eyelid skin by placing an incision along the lower edge of the eyebrow. By tightening and lifting the upper eyelid tissues, it helps reduce heaviness and improve the overall contour of the eye area. The technique is carefully planned to maintain natural eyebrow shape and minimize changes to the existing eyelid structure.

Why patients choose sub brow lift

  • Create a more open eye appearance

Improving Heavy Upper Eyelids with a Natural Brow-Based Approach at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

As the skin around the upper eyelids loses elasticity, excess skin can gradually weigh down the eyes and create a tired or heavy appearance. Sub Brow Lift is a specialized eyelid rejuvenation procedure that lifts sagging upper eyelid skin through an incision placed beneath the eyebrow, helping create a more open and refreshed eye appearance while maintaining natural facial harmony.

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each sub brow lift procedure is customized according to eyebrow shape, eyelid condition, skin elasticity, facial proportions, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on subtle, natural-looking improvements that enhance the eye area while preserving each patient's unique appearance for both local and international patients.
