Brow lift (sub-brow incision) — WOOA Plastic Surgery
A brow lift lifts sagging skin around the eyes through an incision just below the eyebrow. The clinic website describes it as a way to improve drooping eyelids and outer-corner sagging while keeping the double eyelid crease and eye shape, with both the skin and the orbicularis oculi muscle fixed. Per the clinic's surgery information: operation time 1 hour, short-acting sedation, no hospital stay required, stitch removal after 7 days, recovery period 7 days. The incision follows the line just below the eyebrow.

Who this is for
- Those who want to improve sagging around the eyes while keeping their crease
- Those who need to raise their forehead or eyebrows to open their eyes fully
- Those whose eyes still look heavy after double eyelid surgery
- Those with marked skin sagging toward the outer corner
How it is done
The plan is based on the individual degree of sagging and skin condition. A minimal incision is made along the line below the eyebrow, loose skin and unnecessary tissue under the brow are identified and removed, the drooping eyelid and orbicularis muscle are pulled up and fixed, and the incision is closed with fine sutures. The clinic states that where a brow lift alone is not enough, upper blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery is done at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
Will a brow lift change my double eyelid crease?
The clinic states that because the brow lift lifts sagging skin through an incision below the eyebrow, the crease and eye shape change very little. This can differ depending on individual condition.
Where is the scar?
Per the clinic website, the incision follows the line just below the eyebrow so that it sits along the brow line. How long the scar takes to settle and how visible it is differ between individuals.
Can it be combined with upper blepharoplasty?
The clinic states that after assessing the degree of sagging and skin condition, upper blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery is added where a brow lift alone would not be enough.
