What is Sub-Brow Blepharoplasty?
Sub-Brow Blepharoplasty is a minor cosmetic surgery that removes extra skin and tissues right beneath the eyebrows. Over time, our skin naturally sags, especially above the eyes, which can lead to a tired or sleepy appearance. Sub-Brow Blepharoplasty then also tightens the skin under the eyebrows without cutting directly on the eyelid, yielding a natural result. The treatment is popular in Japan and among those who want a refreshed eye appearance without making their eyes look too different from the original.
How It Works
Sub-Brow Blepharoplasty works by making a small cut just under the eyebrows where any scars would be less visible. The loose or drooping skin and occasionally small amount of muscle or fat that is pushing the upper eyelids downwards will be removed by the doctor. By doing this, the upper eyelids will be lifted. The treatment helps to enhance the overall eye appearance, reduces heaviness, and improves peripheral vision in the case that it is blocked. The scars are easier to hide as the cut is small and normally placed under the eyebrows.

1. Consultation and examination will be conducted by the doctor.
2. The eyebrows area will be cleaned.
3. Local anesthesia will be applied to the eyebrows area.
4. Excess skin and fat or muscle will be removed from the area for effective lifting.
