What is Drooping Eyebrow Surgery?
Drooping Eyebrow Surgery, also known as Eyebrow Incision, is performed by cutting off excess skin along the lower edge of the eyebrows. This way, sagging of the upper eyelid can be tightened without changing the original look, whether it is the double or single eyelid.
Scars from this procedure are not noticeable since they are hidden behind the eyebrows. Minor swelling may also occur up to 2 weeks, depending on the individual.
How It Works
The incision under the eyebrows is performed by a method called the hair follicle oblique cutting method. The incision will be made diagonally downward from the eyebrows. This way, the hair roots won't be damaged and eyebrows can grow back after surgery. As the eyebrows grow, the scars will fade and become less noticeable.
For heavier sagginess due to aging, ROOF excision is necessary to excise the retroorbicularis oculi fat (ROOF). The procedure is usually effective for the ones with thick redundant tissues obscuring the lateral half of the orbital rim.
Procedure for Drooping Eyebrow Surgery
1. The skin right under the eyebrows will be examined
2. Anesthesia will be administered
3. An incision will be made within the eyebrow area to remove excess skin and muscle will be tightened
4. ROOF excision will be performed for those with heavy sagginess
5. The incision area will be closed with a suture
6. Suture is to be removed 7 days after the procedure
Advantages and Limitations of Drooping Eyebrow Surgery
<Advantages>
· Removes excess skin under the eyebrows

Drooping Eyebrow Surgery Post Care
· No makeup should be done around the eyes until the next day

FAQ
Q1: Can I continue wearing contact lens and glasses after the procedure?
A1: On the day of the treatment, please bring your glasses or sunglasses to avoid irritating the eyes. You can only continue wearing your contact lens after the treated area has healed, that is when it feels comfortable and can close well. Generally, you can start wearing lenses again about 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure.
Q2: Will this affect the appearance of my eyes?
A2: No, this procedure does not interfere with the shape and size of your eyes.
Q3: Will there be any effects on my vision?
A3: The surgery does affect your vision, but it may cause eye dryness since the eyes may not close fully during the recovery period. Please use the lubricating ointment when necessary and follow the doctor's post-care tips to get faster healing.
Q4: Will the swelling after the surgery affect my daily life?
A4: Swelling and internal bleeding may happen for about a week, and then they will gradually subside. Please take plenty of rest during recovery.
