APEX Sub-Brow Lift An incision along the eyebrow reduces concerns about scarring while improving your eyes into a clearer, more defined shape. Defined, naturally youthful eyes! Sub-brow lift is a surgical method that improves wrinkles by making an incision below the eyebrow and pulling up the sagging skin. It is similar to upper blepharoplasty, but because the incision is at the eyebrow, the scar is hard to see after surgery and the result looks natural. It suits those with a large distance between the eye and the eyebrow, and because it corrects sagging eyelids and drooping outer corners at the same time while keeping your existing eye shape and double eyelid, many patients are highly satisfied. Less concern about scarring, and sagging eyes made clear and defined! So that your eyes become naturally more defined without changing your impression! The APEX sub-brow lift adds naturalness to a well-defined double eyelid line, giving you a beautiful double eyelid that suits your own face. The short operating time and minimal swelling also allow a quick return to daily life.

It suits those with a wide distance between the eye and the brow, and because it corrects the drooping eyelid and the outer corner at the same time while keeping your existing eye shape and crease, many patients are very satisfied with it.

Cause

Why orbicularis correction is needed

The orbicularis oculi is the muscle that tightens and closes the eyelid when you shut your eyes, and it runs in a ring around the eye.
When aging reduces the elasticity of the orbicularis oculi muscle, the skin and fat around the eyes sag along with it.
For this reason, correcting the orbicularis oculi muscle is what allows naturally youthful eyes.
