With time, the upper eyelid and brow undergo changes in skin quality, tissue position, and volume that cause the eyelid crease to become less visible and the outer brow to feel heavy. Patients may experience a tired-looking gaze, difficulty keeping eye makeup in place, or, in more advanced stages, functional vision concerns due to drooping skin. A subbrow lift addresses the key transition area between the brow and eyelid and restores a more open, defined eyelid appearance while preserving the natural brow position. This approach can also create a soft, refreshed look by correcting small or slightly stuffy-looking eyes without creating a double eyelid
A subbrow lift begins with a comprehensive assessment of the upper eyelid–brow region, including skin laxity, muscle fullness, tissue descent, and brow position. Through a small incision along the lower brow—discreetly hidden in its natural contour—excess skin, and when necessary, underlying muscle and fat are removed. The tissue is then carefully repositioned and sutured to enhance eyelid definition while minimizing visible scarring.

A subbrow lift offers both functional and aesthetic benefits by addressing drooping upper eyelid skin and lateral hooding that can create a tired appearance or interfere with vision. By elevating sagging tissue at the outer corners of the eyes, the procedure restores a more defined, youthful eye contour while preserving the natural eyelid line.
