ANSWER Sub-brow Lift
The sub-brow lift excises sagging skin along the line just under the eyebrow, pulling the lid upward. It improves sagging without creating a crease, keeping your natural eye shape — a good fit for thick eyelids or those who want to keep their monolid look.
When Sub-brow Lift is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
Keeping your natural eyes
You want sagging fixed without creating a double eyelid
Thick eyelids
You worry upper blepharoplasty would leave a heavy crease
Narrowed brow-to-eye distance
Sagging makes the eyelid area look heavy
A subtle midlife refresh
You want clearer eyes with no sign of surgery
CUSTOM DESIGN
Excision designed along the brow line
In a sub-brow lift, the incision must sit exactly at the lower brow border for the scar to hide in the brow. ANSWER analyzes your brow shape and sagging distribution to vary the excision width by segment, and plans a natural brow-to-eye distance after the lift.
- 1Incision designed along the lower brow border
- 2Excision width varied by sagging distribution
- 3Appropriate brow-to-eye ratio planned
ANSWER POINT
A finish that hides the scar in the brow
The crux of this surgery is suturing that lets the brow conceal the scar. ANSWER angles the incision to spare hair follicles and closes in layers to narrow the scar, leaving the eye shape untouched so traces of surgery stay hard to find after recovery.
- 1Follicle-sparing incision angle preserves brow density
- 2Layered closure aims for a fine scar
- 3Natural eye shape and crease preserved

Frequently Asked Questions
QWill the scar show outside the brow?
The incision follows the lower brow border, so after recovery it tends to hide under the brow. Brow tattooing or makeup can cover early traces, and we guide you on care.
QHow does it differ from upper blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty excises skin at the crease, which can create or alter a fold; the sub-brow lift pulls from under the brow, keeping your original eye shape. The thicker the eyelid, the greater the advantage of the sub-brow approach.
QHow long does the result last?
The excised skin does not return, but aging continues, so longevity depends on your rate of aging. Improvement can generally be expected to hold for years.
