For a beautiful middle age
This is Objet Plastic Surgery.
Recently, there have been more inquiries
about brow lift procedures.
Together with Director Kim Hyun-jo,
we will take some time to learn
about it in detail.

What is a brow lift procedure?
It is a surgery that corrects sagging above the eyes
by removing the skin just below the eyebrows.
The eyelid skin is the thinnest near the eyelashes
and gradually becomes thicker as it goes up toward the eyebrows.
By removing the thicker skin just below the eyebrows,
the thinner eyelid skin can be preserved as much as possible.
As a result, post-surgery awkwardness is reduced,
and the incision scar is hidden along the lower edge of the eyebrows,
making it less noticeable.
In addition, because the procedure itself is simple,
it tends to cause less swelling
and offers faster recovery compared to upper blepharoplasty.

Advantages of a brow lift procedure
The advantage of a brow lift procedure is that
it can naturally address only the sagging skin
while keeping the shape of the eyelid area unchanged.
Therefore, it can be effective for those who want to
maintain their original eyes
while only correcting sagging under the eyes.

Limitations of a brow lift procedure
If there is ptosis,
a double eyelid line has loosened,
or there is asymmetry,
a brow lift is not suitable because it only
lifts sagging tissue.
In such cases,
it is necessary to correct ptosis
through upper blepharoplasty
and make the double eyelid lines symmetrical.

Second,
to hide the scar as much as possible,
when performing a brow lift,
skin is only removed within the range from the inner side to the outer side.
Because of this, if there are wrinkles on the bridge of the nose
outside the brow area, or if there is severe sagging on the outer brow area,
a brow lift alone is not easy to solve the problem.
When cutting the skin,
it is removed in a release-like shape,
but if this shape is exceeded too much,
the shape of the eyelid after surgery may be altered,
so the amount of skin that can be removed is limited.

Third, it is not suitable for people
who have hollowing just above the eyes
or have very thin skin.
If there is hollowing above the eyes,
removing the skin below the eyebrows may instead
bring up the thin skin and make the hollowing around the eyes worse.
For people with very thin skin,
fine wrinkles may appear after surgery,
making the shape look unnatural.

And fourth,
it is not suitable for people whose distance
between the eyes and the eyebrows is short.
Because the skin below the eyebrows is removed,
after surgery the eyes and eyebrows may become even closer together,
creating an awkward appearance.

Finally, there are patients whose eyebrows are sagging along with the eyes,
not just the eyes alone.
In such cases,
if a brow lift procedure is performed,
the eyebrows may sag down even more after surgery,
so it is not appropriate.
At such times, lifting the sagging eyebrows together through a forehead brow lift
is much more effective.

Who needs a brow lift procedure?
This surgery can be effective for the following people.
-
People who do not want it to look like they had surgery
-
People who want to naturally improve heavy eyelids
-
People who want to make their eye area look clearer because sagging skin is covering it
-
People who feel discomfort because sagging skin is blocking their vision
It can be considered a recommended procedure
for people with these kinds of concerns.
A brow lift procedure
can only improve sagging skin.
It is suitable for people who already have a clear double eyelid line,
or for people whose double eyelid fold is hidden and no longer visible
because the skin has sagged.
It is also suitable for people whose skin is relatively thick,
for whom upper blepharoplasty could result in an awkward and harsh-looking eye shape.

Because each patient’s case is different,
which surgery is appropriate should be decided
through consultation with a specialist.
However, the people who need a brow lift procedure are as described above.
The eyes, especially, are where we express our emotions on the face.
Therefore, if you undergo a surgery that does not suit you,
you may regret it for the rest of your life.
That is why eye plastic surgery is important to perform
after comprehensively analyzing your face and features.
