Eye Surgery

Subbrow Lift (Sub-Eyebrow Lift)

Lift hooded upper eyelids & a dropping brow tail — hidden sub-brow incision, permanent.

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.

Common questions
What is a subbrow lift?+
Surgery that lifts heavy upper-eyelid skin and a dropping brow tail by removing a strip of skin through an incision hidden under the eyebrow — opening up the eye without changing your natural eyelid crease.
How much does a subbrow lift cost?+
Price depends on how much skin needs removing and individual complexity. Please consult our eye-specialist surgeon for an assessment and a quote tailored to your case.
How long does a subbrow lift last?+
It is permanent, because excess eyelid skin is physically removed — unlike temporary injectable or thread brow lifts.
What are the disadvantages of a subbrow lift?+
There is a scar along the sub-brow line (concealed in the brow hairline and fades over time), a 1–2 week recovery, and it suits only certain eye shapes — the surgeon will advise whether it's right for you or another method is better.
Subbrow lift vs double-eyelid surgery — what's the difference?+
A subbrow lift raises hooded skin / the brow tail from above (under the brow) without making a crease; double-eyelid surgery creates an eyelid fold. The goals differ.
How long is recovery after a subbrow lift?+
Swelling and bruising last about 7–14 days; stitches come out at 5–7 days; light daily activity resumes within a few days.
Where should I get a subbrow lift done?+
Choose a surgeon who assesses your brow–eyelid anatomy before operating, so the incision position and amount of skin suit your face.
