What to Know Before Midlife Eye Rejuvenation

Hello,

Sub-Brow Lift

A Clinic That Upholds the Principles of Plastic Surgery, 글로비성형외과의원
Upholding the basics is the most important principle in plastic surgery. Procedures should be planned with the patient's entire lifetime in mind. Both the process and the results must be safe. 글로비 always puts its patients first.
Consultation is an important step that leads to surgery. To help you feel satisfied with your surgical results, we promise personalized consultations with medical professionals who have extensive clinical experience.
Postoperative care can also be considered an extension of the surgery itself. We provide personalized care programs to help our patients recover quickly.

I went for a consultation because I was considering double-eyelid surgery,

but each clinic told me something different,

so I don't know what to believe.

More people than you might expect

come to us with these concerns.

Figuring out which information to trust

may feel even more difficult than deciding on surgery,

and I completely understand how you feel.

Today, I will go through one by one

the points that most often confuse people

who are considering a sub-brow lift.

Your Eyes Have Not Become Smaller—Your Skin Has Drooped

Sub-Brow Lift

Every time I look in the mirror,

my eyes look smaller than they used to.

I used to have visible double eyelids,

but now they are barely noticeable.

This is one of the things we hear most often in the consultation room.

However, in many such cases, the cause

is not actually the eyes themselves.

As we age, the skin of the forehead and eyebrows

gradually descends under the influence of gravity.

As the eyebrows descend, the skin above the eyelids

is pressed down along with them, concealing the double eyelids

and creating a look of heaviness around the eyes.

Let me give you an easy analogy.

It is like the bottom edge of a blind covering a window

becoming worn and ragged.

In this situation, no matter how much you clean the window glass

(even if you have double-eyelid surgery again),

your view will not become clearer.

That is because the cause is not the glass,

but the drooping edge of the blind.

A sub-brow lift removes the drooping eyelid skin neatly

along the boundary beneath the eyebrows

and lifts the area.

There is an important point you should check here.

If the cause is not drooping eyelid skin,

but rather that the “entire forehead and eyebrows”

have descended significantly, then a different approach,

such as a “forehead lift,” may be more suitable

than a sub-brow lift.

Recommending unnecessary surgery because of an incorrect assessment of the cause

is not the way 글로비 operates.

Accurately identifying the fundamental cause of the drooping—

that is the starting point of a proper consultation.

What Actually Happens One Month After Surgery?

How long does recovery take?

Please tell me honestly.

It is right to explain things as they are.

Swelling is usually at its worst on the third or fourth day after surgery.

There is no need to be overly alarmed when you look in the mirror during this period.

Once this period passes, the swelling begins to subside noticeably,

and after one week, many people can go out wearing sunglasses and light makeup.

Use cold compresses only until two days after surgery,

then switch to warm compresses,

which may help the bruising fade more quickly.

When sleeping, prop your head up about a hand-span higher than usual

to prevent blood from pooling around your head,

and during the first two weeks, it is safer to sleep on your back,

as lying on your side may cause more swelling on one side.

Until the stitches are removed, cleanse only by gently wiping with a wet towel

while avoiding the area around the eyes.

Even after the stitches are removed, be careful not to rub the area

in a vertical direction for one week.

Eye makeup is permitted from two weeks after surgery,

and when cleansing, avoid rubbing the eye area.

Gently patting and wiping with your fingertips

is preferable for reducing irritation to the incision line.

Many people postpone surgery because a long break from work or social activities

feels burdensome. However, because a sub-brow lift does not significantly affect the eyes themselves,

it generally causes less swelling and tends to involve a relatively faster recovery

than conventional double-eyelid surgery.

If surgery is performed without first identifying the exact cause,

the outcome may differ from what was expected.

Providing transparent information in advance about the precautions you need to know

and the possibility of side effects

is a principle that 글로비 upholds in every consultation.

If you would like to know the precise plan suited to the condition of your eyes,

or if you want to reduce trial and error amid the overwhelming amount of information,

please feel free to leave us an inquiry.

※ All plastic surgeries and procedures may involve side effects such as bleeding,

infection, inflammation, or scarring depending on the individual's constitution

and condition, so caution is required.
