What is a hidden scar under the eyebrow? Who is it suitable for?
Drooping eyelids or sagging outer corners of the eyes can occur with increasing age, causing the eyelid crease to droop and resulting in a hidden eyelid crease. Besides affecting aesthetics, some people may experience daily life issues such as vision obstruction or eyelashes irritating the eye and causing corneal ulcers. In addition to double eyelid surgery, a sub-brow lift technique, where the incision is hidden under the eyebrow, is another option for those who want to correct drooping eyelids or sagging outer corners of the eyes.
What is a subbrow lift technique for concealing scars under the eyebrows?
This procedure involves removing excess eyelid skin from the area beneath the eyebrow to correct drooping eyelids. The incision is made close to the lower edge of the eyebrow, making it virtually invisible after the procedure as it blends seamlessly with the eyebrow hairs. This technique requires the surgery to be performed by a skilled surgeon to ensure precise and meticulous suturing. In addition to correcting drooping eyelids, it also lifts the outer corners of the eyes, making the eyes appear brighter and more youthful.
At Sky Clinic, the doctor uses a needle-less, hidden suture technique, a special surgical technique. The advantages of this technique are a smoother scar, less swelling and bruising, and no recovery time needed.
The technique of concealing scars under the eyebrow: Who is it suitable for?
People with a short distance between their upper eyelids and eyebrows have low brow ridges.
Double eyelid surgery may not be the best solution because it reduces the space between the eyebrows and the upper eyelid and cannot remove excess skin that extends above the brow bone. Therefore, in some cases, a technique to hide the scar under the eyebrow may be a more suitable option.
People who have a lot of flesh or fat around their eyebrows.
People with excess tissue or fat in the eyebrow area may have puffy eyelids, or when smiling, the eyelid skin may sag at the outer corners of the eyes, making the outer corners of the eyes appear droopy. A hidden incision under the eyebrow can remove this excess skin and fat.
People who want to retain their original eyelid crease but have problems with drooping eyelids.
The under-eyebrow scar concealment technique can correct drooping eyelids and outer corners of the eyes while preserving the patient's original double eyelid crease. After removing excess skin, the result is a clearer and more natural-looking double eyelid crease. This technique is also suitable for cases where double eyelid surgery has already been performed, but the eyelids have become droopy with age, allowing the patient to correct the sagging while maintaining the original crease.
People with drooping eyelids
People with drooping eyelids will have a clear crease at the inner and middle of the eye, but excess eyelid skin will cover the crease at the outer corner, making the eyes appear hidden or invisible. This can make the eyes look sad and older. The technique of hiding the incision under the eyebrow can precisely correct this drooping eyelid problem.
People with excess and drooping eyelids.
People with excess eyelid skin or drooping eyelids can combine a hidden incision under the eyebrow with double eyelid surgery. This allows for the removal of more excess eyelid skin.
