Anti-aging Eye Surgery

Upper Blepharoplasty

When people notice sagging skin on the upper eyelid, they often presume that the cause is only skin sagging on the eyes. However, upper eyelid sagging can sometimes also be caused by sagging of the forehead or eyebrow. Therefore, it is important to accurately determine the cause of sagging upper eyelids and correct the issue.

For example, when the eyes seem aged due to a droopy forehead and eyebrows, if upper blepharoplasty is performed, the distance between the eyes and the eyebrows is shortened, giving a patient a frustrated or stern expression.

However, when this gets worse, the angle of the eyelashes turns downward, which can poke the eyeball, causing excess tears. Also, sagging skin on the upper eyelid can badly obstruct the field of view. In such cases, by removing excess skin and pulling up the eyelids, clear sight and elasticity on the upper eyelid can be restored.

CDU's Sub-brow Lift

By lifting sagging skin without making double folds, the eyes still look natural after surgery.

The incision is made delicately along the eyebrows, so the scar is almost invisible.

Vision becomes clearer and more comfortable, and eyelashes which poke the eyes due to sagging skin will improve.

Sub-brow Lift Q&A

When will the appearance become natural?

After a subbrow lift, the position of the eyebrows and skin becomes lower. By calculating this effect, the surgeon may over-correct the eyes during surgery. As the eyebrows lower, the appearance will become more natural.

I can’t close my eyes

Difficulty closing the eyes will improve as the eyebrow position settles. The recovery process takes about six months after surgery and the condition will gradually improve.

I have wrinkles around my eyebrows

Wrinkles may appear in the areas where the surgeon fixes the muscles and skin. This is only a temporary symptom. The wrinkles will disappear over the course of six months.

What if I am not a candidate for either surgery?​

When it comes to saggy eyebrows, upper blepharoplasty or a subbrow lift may not be appropriate. In this case, an endoscope forehead lift is recommended to improve skin sagging on the eyes.
