Sub-brow Lift and Natural Adhesion (Revision Surgery)
A case study of a female patient in her 50s who achieved a refreshed look through a sub-brow lift and natural adhesion revision to correct sagging eyelids.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 50s
# Medical History: Natural adhesion surgery several decades ago
# Current Condition
- The double eyelid appears pressed down due to thin, sagging skin.
* Consultation
# The double eyelid line is currently hidden because of sagging skin on the upper eyelid.
# In such cases, caution is required when performing ‘upper blepharoplasty alone’ (a method of removing sagging skin while creating a double eyelid). This is because it can make the puffiness of the brow area more prominent and result in a harsh-looking double eyelid.
# The plan was to lift the sagging skin from beneath the eyebrow and create a light, refreshed double eyelid line through natural adhesion revision surgery.
* Surgical Plan
# Sub-brow Lift
# Natural Adhesion (Revision)
* Surgical Process and Progress
# Sub-brow Lift
- Every effort was made to address the skin sagging as much as possible.
- It is important not just to excise the skin, but to perform periosteal fixation to prevent re-sagging and ensure long-lasting results.
# Natural Adhesion
- By raising the line slightly higher than before, we achieved a more refreshed and crisp double eyelid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of surgery is sub-brow lift?
Sub-brow lift is a surgery that lifts and removes sagging upper eyelid skin from under the eyebrow. It is important not only to excise the skin but also to fix the periosteum to prevent re-sagging, thereby prolonging the effect.
Why is it not advisable to only perform upper blepharoplasty for sagging eyelids?
If only upper blepharoplasty is performed on sagging eyelids, the puffiness of the eyelids may become more prominent, and a fierce-looking double eyelid may be created, so caution is needed.
In what cases is natural adhesion revision surgery considered?
Natural adhesion revision surgery may be considered if the double eyelid line appears pressed after a previous natural adhesion surgery, or if a fresher and lighter line is desired. In this case, the line was raised higher than before to create a fresh look.
What is the key to preventing sagging after a sub-brow lift?
The key to preventing sagging after a sub-brow lift is not just excising the skin, but also fixing the periosteum to prevent re-sagging, thereby prolonging the surgical effect.
What side effects can occur after surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These side effects can vary from person to person, so caution is needed.
Who should I consult for surgery?
It is advisable to consult with a plastic surgeon for consultation and surgery. It is important to have a thorough consultation with an experienced specialist to create a plan that suits you.
