• Natural results: Conservative lift vectors to avoid an over-elevated or “surprised” look.
• Safety first: Pre-op screening, sterile OR standards, and structured aftercare.
• International-friendly: Clear English communication, photo/online pre-consults, and transparent quotes.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Lateral “tail” of the brow droops, causing outer-eyelid hooding
• You lift your brows to see better or apply makeup
• Desire brighter, less tired eyes without changing your basic expression
• Considering brow lift + upper blepharoplasty/ptosis repair for optimal lid show

Techniques We Offer

• Endoscopic Brow (Forehead) Lift
  Small hidden scalp incisions, internal fixation; best for global forehead/brow descent and deep forehead lines.
• Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift
  Short-scar “mini lift” targeting the outer third of the brow to reduce lateral hooding; quick recovery.
• Direct Brow Lift
  Incision just above the brow; powerful lift and symmetry correction (often suited to mature skin or revision needs).
• Sub-Brow Lift (Subbrow Excision)
  Targets redundant upper-lid/brow skin in selected anatomic patterns; useful in Asian eyelid aesthetics.

Brow Lift vs. Upper Blepharoplasty

• Brow lift elevates the brow position and reduces lateral hooding.
• Upper blepharoplasty removes excess upper-lid skin/fat and shapes the crease.
• Many patients benefit from a combined plan to achieve open, natural eyes without over-resection.

Your Treatment Journey

1. Consultation & Simulation – Measurements, photos, and discussion of lift vector, crease height, and scar strategy.
2. Pre-Op Clearance – Health review, medications, and instructions (no smoking; adjust blood thinners as directed).
3. Surgery Day – Marking, anesthesia, precise lift and fixation; discharge the same day in most cases.
4. Aftercare & Checks – Cooling, sleeping with head elevated; stitch removal ~5–7 days; follow-ups for swelling care.

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

• Days 1–3: Swelling/tightness, mild bruising; cool compresses as advised
• Days 4–7: Stitches removed (method-dependent); makeup can usually resume after clearance
• Week 2: Most bruising resolves; return to public/social settings
• Weeks 3–4: Residual swelling fades; results refine
• Months 3–6: Final position and scar maturation

Aftercare Tips

• Sleep with head elevated for 1–2 weeks
• Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and alcohol for at least 2 weeks
• Follow scar care (ointment/silicone/UV protection) exactly as instructed
• Report unusual pain, increasing redness, or asymmetry promptly

Risks & Considerations

Temporary numbness, swelling/bruising, asymmetry, visible scarring (technique-dependent), hair shedding near small scalp incisions (usually temporary), and rare nerve injury. Your surgeon will review personal risk and prevention measures.

Pricing (Guide)

• Temporal (Lateral) Brow Lift: typically ₩2.0M–₩4.0M
• Endoscopic Brow/Forehead Lift: typically ₩3.5M–₩6.5M

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Will a brow lift change my expression?
Our goal is a refreshed, natural look—subtle elevation that reduces heaviness without a “surprised” appearance.

Q2. Can it be done with eyelid surgery?
Yes. Brow lift is often paired with upper blepharoplasty or ptosis repair for optimal lid show and crease definition.

Q3. Will I have visible scars?
Endoscopic/temporal lifts hide scars in the hairline. Direct/sub-brow approaches place the scar at or just above the brow; meticulous closure and scar care minimize visibility.

Q4. How long do results last?
Results typically last many years, but aging continues. Good skincare, sun protection, and healthy habits help longevity.

Q5. When can I fly back home?
Many international patients stay 7–10 days for stitch removal and early aftercare before flying; your plan may vary.
