Subbrow Lift Surgery
Subbrow lift Surgery Technique (Subbrow) – What is it? Subbrow technique or double eyelid surgery with the Subbrow technique helps correct the problem of excess eyelid skin that droops, which results in unclear peripheral vision or sagging eyelids, making the face look older and less confident. The surgical incision is relatively small, with the plastic surgeon administering anesthesia and making an incision along the lower eyelash line, then removing excess skin. The amount removed will be assessed by the doctor, who will then close the incision using a special technique to blend it with the eyelashes, making it look natural.
What is the “Subbrow Lift” Technique for Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, specifically the Subbrow Lift, involves removing excess skin from the upper eyelid and excising fat from the area being treated. In some cases, the fat may also be repositioned to smooth out the upper eyelid. This procedure is commonly referred to as an eyelid lift or Subbrow Lift and is designed to address issues such as sagging skin that affects the outer corners of the eyes, often resulting in a “hooded” appearance or what is commonly known as “drooping eyelids.” This condition can impair side vision and make the face appear prematurely aged, dull, and less confident.
The surgical incision is relatively small. The surgeon administers local anesthesia and makes a precise incision along the natural crease just below the eyebrow. Excess skin is then carefully removed, with the amount to be excised determined by the surgeon’s assessment. The incision is closed with a special technique, ensuring that the scar blends seamlessly with the eyebrow, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
