Sub-Brow Liftsubbrow lift
Wide gap between your eyes and brows, and worried about drooping eyelids? The sub-brow lift: a discreet solution for drooping eyelids
NANA Plastic Surgery's Sub-Brow Lift
When is a sub-brow lift needed? There are two main ways to improve drooping eyelids: upper blepharoplasty and the sub-brow lift. For those with a wide gap between the eye and the brow, the sub-brow lift can be the answer. Because it delivers a natural lifting effect while preserving the existing shape of your eyes, it is well suited to those who already have double eyelids or who do not need double eyelid surgery at the same time.
NANA Plastic Surgery's Sub-Brow Lift
A discreet solution for drooping eyelids The sub-brow lift improves eyelid drooping while raising the sagging skin tissue upward, delivering wrinkle improvement together with a definite skin-lifting effect. NANA Plastic Surgery's sub-brow lift removes a measured amount of tissue directly beneath the brow to raise the sagging skin above the eyelid and carefully tightens the skin, so the results are long-lasting and even deep wrinkles can be resolved, helping you regain a younger, more vibrant look.
NANA Plastic Surgery's Sub-Brow Lift
When the eyelids droop due to loss of skin elasticity, part of the skin that has lost elasticity is excised and the muscle within the eyelid is fixed, improving drooping eyelids into bright, well-defined eyes.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
How can I fix drooping eyelids without double eyelid surgery?
Youthful eye surgery for middle age is often performed
together with double eyelid surgery to address eyelid drooping.
However, if you already have double eyelids, or want to keep monolids
(keep your existing eye shape)
and resolve only the eyelid drooping,
we recommend the sub-brow lift.

NANA's guide to
precautions after eye surgery
01
Washing, showering & makeup
You may wash your hair or shower from the day after surgery, but be careful not to let water touch the wound.Straining your eyes may cause pooled blood to come out, so please take care. Eye makeup and contact lenses are possible after 4 weeks. To prevent the double eyelid from loosening or changing shape, avoid eye makeup for one month, and contact lenses, which can irritate the conjunctiva, may be worn after one month.
02
Progress
Conjunctival swelling or redness may occur after surgery.Conjunctival swelling (the conjunctiva appearing white and puffy) or redness may occur after surgery. These symptoms are absorbed naturally over 2–4 weeks and are common after surgery, so there is no need to worry. A temporary increase in tearing or eye discharge is also a common post-surgical reaction that improves over time.
03
Swelling management
Swelling subsides over 3–6 months after surgery.It is common for the two sides to swell differently or subside at different rates, appearing asymmetrical. Any visible asymmetry from swelling improves over time until the swelling has fully subsided.
Apply warm/cold compresses at the appropriate times after surgery.Cold compresses are recommended for the first 3 days after surgery, while the face is swelling; they help prevent bleeding and reduce swelling. From day 4 after surgery, warm compresses are recommended for effective management of swelling and bruising.
04
Wound care
Care for the wound with eye ointment and eye drops.Apply a thin layer of eye ointment to the surgical site morning and evening using a clean cotton swab. If you have been prescribed eye drops, apply them to the conjunctiva 2–3 times a day. Small white milia the size of a grain may form along the incision line after surgery, but they disappear naturally over time. If they have not disappeared after 3 months, they can be easily removed at the clinic depending on their condition.
05
Alcohol & smoking
Refrain from alcohol and smoking for 1 month after surgery.Alcohol and smoking adversely affect bleeding, wound healing, and infection, so we recommend abstaining for 1 month after surgery.
06
Sleeping position
Please check the recommended sleeping positions for 3 months after surgery.For the first week after surgery, avoid bending your neck while sleeping and keep your upper body elevated so your head is above your heart, which helps swelling subside faster. Also, do not lie on your side or face down; sleep facing the ceiling.
