Eyes

Upper blepharoplasty and sub-brow lift in Seoul, Korea

Upper blepharoplasty removes droopy, aging upper eyelid skin and restores muscle support for fresher, more open eyes. A sub-brow lift removes skin just below the eyebrow instead, for people who want to keep their existing crease or do not want a double eyelid. Both take 1–1.5 hours under IV sedation, with same-day discharge and stitches out after 1 week.

Frequently asked questions

Blepharoplasty or brow lift?

If the brow itself has dropped, a forehead lift may be needed. If only the eyelid skin is heavy, a blepharoplasty or sub-brow lift is enough. Your surgeon checks brow position at consultation.

Will I get a double eyelid?

Only if you want one. A sub-brow lift can refresh the eyes while keeping your natural lid.
