Brow Lift to Reduce Scar Visibility While Making the Eyes Look Clearer

As we age, we can see the skin sag downward due to gravity.

We refer to these changes as aging.

Skin aging appears in various ways. One representative example is the reduction of collagen and elastin in the skin, which lowers elasticity and causes the skin to stretch and sag, as well as deep and shallow wrinkles to form throughout the face.

Skin sagging appears across the face, from the forehead to the chin.

In particular, sagging eyelids not only create an older-looking image, but can also make it difficult to secure a clear field of vision, which may affect eyesight.

So if eyelid sagging has started or has become severe and is causing concern, a procedure to improve eyelid sagging, such as a brow lift, may be necessary.

If you want to improve sagging, loose eyelids and achieve a clearer eye appearance, a brow lift can be recommended.

A brow lift improves sagging and wrinkles by making an incision along the line under the eyebrow on the sagging eyelid caused by loose skin and then pulling the skin upward.

Because it does not affect the existing double-eyelid line and instead makes an incision along the boundary under the eyebrow, brow lift scar visibility is low, and the eyes look clearer than before, creating a younger, more youthful image. It is one of the anti-aging procedures with high satisfaction.

A brow lift can increase satisfaction when performed on suitable candidates, but in some cases, such as people with a narrow distance between the eyes and eyebrows or those with insufficient excess eyelid skin, a brow lift may not be appropriate. If it is performed in such cases, various side effects and unnatural results may occur, so for an accurate diagnosis, consultation and evaluation with a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in brow lifts are necessary.

A brow lift is one of the anti-aging surgeries considered by many middle-aged people, but some also worry about brow lift scars. In particular, the eyes play an important role in the overall facial appearance and are a highly visible area, so scar exposure should be minimized.

At brow lift clinics, the medical team’s expertise is used to reduce scar visibility and perform the procedure delicately and precisely for a natural-looking eye appearance.

A brow lift is recommended for the following people.

People who find it difficult to open their eyes because eyelid sagging is severe People whose brows and eyelids have sagged, making the double eyelid line hidden and causing a stuffy appearance People who want correction while maintaining the existing double eyelid line People whose eyelids sag but do not want double-eyelid surgery People with thick eyelids for whom double eyelids do not suit well People who want a relatively simpler surgery than a forehead lift, etc.

If you are concerned about eyelid sagging, please receive a detailed consultation about a brow lift.

The difference between a brow lift and a forehead lift

The representative procedures chosen by people concerned about eyelid sagging are a brow lift and a forehead lift.

Because the purpose of the two procedures is similar, many people find it difficult to choose.

In the case of a forehead lift, the entire soft tissue of the upper face is pulled widely, helping improve wrinkles and sagging across the upper face. If you want to improve both the brows and eyelids at once, a forehead lift can be recommended.

A brow lift is a process of making an incision under the eyebrow and then closing it with sutures. The sagging eyelid is removed, and the muscle is incised and fixed.

If the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is wide and the lines between the brows and outer corners of the eyes are not severe, a brow lift may be more appropriate.

Specialized anti-aging and youthful-appearance clinics follow a one-on-one customized treatment principle for each patient. Before surgery, they carefully diagnose and assess the patient’s eye condition.

Accordingly, individualized design and plans are applied to improve satisfaction with the results.

Because the eyes and face can have lower satisfaction if the result does not look natural, careful and thorough assessment is very important.

At our clinic, we carefully evaluate functional aspects, balance, and the size and shape of the eyes to determine the appropriate plan.
