Prologue

A sub-brow lift makes an incision below the eyebrow and pulls up the sagging skin to improve wrinkles. It is similar to upper blepharoplasty, but because the incision is at the eyebrow, the scar is hard to see afterward and the result looks natural. It suits those with a wide distance between the eye and the brow, and because it corrects the drooping eyelid and the outer corner at the same time while keeping your existing eye shape and crease, many patients are very satisfied with it.

Cause

Why orbicularis correction is needed

The orbicularis oculi is the muscle that tightens and closes the eyelid when you shut your eyes, and it runs in a ring around the eye.
When aging reduces the elasticity of the orbicularis oculi muscle, the skin and fat around the eyes sag along with it.
For this reason, correcting the orbicularis oculi muscle is what allows naturally youthful eyes.

APEX Sub-Brow Lift Procedure

How is APEX sub-brow lift performed?

An incision just below the eyebrow allows sagging eyelid skin to be removed.
The sub-brow incision hides the scar so it is barely noticeable.
