Why Eyelids Sag

The causes of drooping eyelids can be largely divided into two types.

  1. Sagging eyelid skin

  2. Sagging forehead skin

As eyelid skin sags due to aging, it becomes difficult to secure a clear field of vision and a feeling of heaviness develops. Not only the eyelid skin but also the forehead skin sags and stretches, causing the eyebrows to drop as well. The eyebrows are originally located just above the orbital bone, but as this area also sags, the position of the eyebrows drops downward too.

What Is Eyebrow Lift Surgery?

Eyebrow lift surgery is a procedure that raises sagging eyebrows back to their original position.

The eyebrow is incised along the eyebrow line, lifted upward, and then sutured.

How to Improve Drooping Eyelids

The surgeries needed to improve drooping eyelids can be broadly divided into upper eyelid surgery and eyebrow lift surgery.

Upper eyelid surgery, which removes sagging eyelid skin, is known as the most common procedure, but in some cases it may be a surgery that should be avoided. It would be great if upper eyelid surgery were enough in one procedure, but in reality there are more patients than expected who undergo it multiple times because of sagging.

Depending on the patient, the sagging skin cannot be removed as much as desired, and there are limits, so eyebrow lift surgery may be performed together.

An eyebrow lift is a procedure that pulls and secures the area above the eyebrow, and it is the simplest way to resolve drooping eyelids.

However, there is no single correct surgical method. It is important to choose the procedure that is most appropriate for the patient’s situation, taking the patient’s needs into account.

If There Is Not Enough Eyelid Skin

If there is not enough eyelid skin, the surgical method must be chosen carefully.

If you have previously had double eyelid surgery or similar procedures, it may be difficult to address drooping eyelids because of insufficient eyelid skin.

If the distance between the eyebrow and the eye is naturally short, upper eyelid surgery may make the eyebrow and eye appear even closer together, creating a cramped appearance.

The patient below is a case in which the distance between the eyebrow and the eye became shorter after repeated upper eyelid surgery.

If repeated upper eyelid surgery is performed without securing enough distance, the lack of skin can make further correction impossible.

A sufficient distance between the eyebrow and the eye should be maintained to look natural.

If the eyebrow and eye become too close, it does not look aesthetically pleasing.

Recovery Period and Cost of Eyebrow Lift Surgery

Sutures are removed 7 days after surgery. Even immediately after surgery, swelling and bruising are relatively minor, and daily life is possible right away.

After about 1 month, recovery becomes natural and stable.

Depending on the patient’s skin condition, the degree of scarring after surgery may vary, but eyebrow makeup is possible from 3 weeks after surgery.

Usually, eyebrow semi-permanent makeup or tattooing is possible after 3 months.

The cost of eyebrow lift surgery varies depending on the surgical method and extent, as well as whether it is a revision surgery.
