Sub-brow lift
Sub-brow lift is a surgery that lifts your upper eyelids and improves heavy looking eyelids. This surgery is suitable for those who have thick saggy skin that covers their double eyelids. As we age, our eyebrows begin to droop, which results in an angry, worried, or tired appearance. This surgery can elevate and stabilize drooping eyelids. An incision is made below the eyebrow to pull and tighten the skin. This will improve sagging eyes to create a fresher image.
Process of sub-brow lift
- Height and shape are designed to fit your face
- Thin incision is made below the eyebrow
- Saggy skin and excess fat are removed
- Your previous double eyelids crease is revealed thus creating the most natural looking result
What is the difference between Upper blepharoplasty and Sub-brow lift?
Sub-brow lift
- Excess skin removal to reveal double eyelids
- Incision under the eyebrow
Upper blepharoplasty
- New double eyelids design
- Incision on upper eyelid
If you don’t have double eyelids crease or if you need to have new double eyelids crease designed to fit your face, then upper blepharoplasty will be suitable. If only excess skin needs to be removed to reveal your hidden double eyelids crease, then sub-brow lift will be adequate.
Who is eligible for sub-brow lift?
Surgery is performed under the eyebrow and along the eyebrow line. Saggy skin is removed to result in brighter looking eyes.
Sub-brow lift is recommended for

FAQ
How much does sub-brow lift cost in Korea?
Sub-brow lift in Korea can typically cost from ₩2,500,000 to ₩3,500,000.
Does sub-brow lift cause less swelling compared to other eye procedures?
Yes, sub-brow lift generally causes less swelling compared to other eye procedures, such as blepharoplasty and double eyelid surgery, because it specifically targets the area directly beneath the eyebrows.
What is the difference between a brow lift and a sub-brow lift?
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, involves lifting the entire brow and forehead area to reduce wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging eyebrows, with incisions made along the hairline or scalp. In contrast, a sub-brow lift focuses solely on the area beneath the eyebrows, addressing sagging skin or droopiness above the eyes without affecting the forehead. The incisions for a sub-brow lift are made just along the lower part of the eyebrows, not altering the position of the brows.
How long does a sub-brow lift last?
The results of a sub-brow lift typically last around 10 years. However, this duration can vary based on individual factors such as age and skin type. Natural aging may gradually diminish the effects over time.
Will I have visible scars?
The visibility of scars depends on individual skin type and eyebrow thickness. Those with thicker eyebrows or eyebrow tattoos are likely to have less noticeable scars compared to individuals with thinner eyebrow hair
Can I get a sub-brow lift if I have monolids?
Yes, individuals with single eyelids, or monolids, can undergo a sub-brow lift. It can also be combined with double eyelid surgery.
How does an upper blepharoplasty differ from a sub-brow lift?
An upper blepharoplasty creates a new double eyelid crease by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelid, with the incision made in the eyelid fold. In contrast, a sub-brow lift removes sagging skin and fat below the eyebrow to reveal the hidden double eyelid crease, with the incision made under the eyebrow. The sub-brow lift is ideal for those with drooping skin covering their existing double eyelids, while upper blepharoplasty is better suited for creating a new crease.
