Subbrow Lift (Sub-Eyebrow Lift)
Lift hooded upper eyelids & a dropping brow tail — hidden sub-brow incision, long-lasting.
- What is Subbrow Lift (Sub?
- A subbrow lift (sub-eyebrow lift) surgically lifts heavy, hooded upper eyelids and a drooping brow tail by removing a strip of skin through an incision hidden just beneath the eyebrow. It opens up the eye and lifts the brow tail without creating or altering your natural eyelid crease — unlike double-eyelid surgery, which builds a fold.
Surgical procedures are booked through a consultation. The doctor assesses whether the procedure suits you, and the operating date is scheduled after that.
