Eyebrow lift surgery improves drooping eyebrows and crisscrossed forehead wrinkles, restoring a youthful appearance above the eyes and enhancing overall vitality. Eyebrow lift and trimming surgery effectively addresses these concerns.
Eyebrow lift and trimming surgery surgically refines eyebrow shape, removes failed eyebrow tattoos, and corrects scars left after tattoo removal. This procedure ensures a seamless, scar-free outcome.
I. Eyebrow Reshaping Surgery involves excising portions of the eyebrow and surrounding skin; in severe cases, the entire eyebrow is removed. The rise of this procedure correlates with a past trend: eyebrow tattooing.Back then, regardless of age, natural brow shape, or density, tattooed brows were considered fashionable. Naturally, this trend also left many with regrets. The uneven quality of tattooing techniques resulted in many people ending up with "dragon-like brows," "earthworm brows," "silkworm brows," or "faded brows."Eyebrow reduction surgery can improve these issues to varying degrees. Consequently, many individuals opt for partial eyebrow reduction. This procedure also provides a direct eyebrow lift effect, rejuvenating the facial appearance. In this sense, it achieves two goals at once.Direct eyebrow lifting to rejuvenate the eye area has long been popular in the West. This involves excising a strip of skin along the upper brow margin and suturing the eyebrow upward to lift the tail. Indirect eyebrow lifting, however, achieves the same result through a small incision at the hairline. This method lifts the eyebrow without leaving any visible scarring in the brow area, making it particularly suitable for Asian patients.
II. Total Eyebrow Removal Surgery is primarily indicated for cases where repeated eyebrow tattoo removal has caused scarring across the entire brow area, resulting in sparse eyebrows. Post-tattooing discoloration (typically light brown or dark blue) often manifests as thick, dark lines resembling caterpillars lying across the orbital rim. This discoloration persists even after laser or other removal methods.Complete eyebrow excision is necessary. To achieve a scarless outcome, precise incision placement is crucial, ensuring any minor scarring is concealed within the future tattoo or makeup application area. Depending on the degree of upper eyelid and lateral canthus skin laxity, excess skin from the upper eyelid and temporal region is appropriately excised.Currently, excision is performed to the superficial subcutaneous layer of the brow area, avoiding damage to the deep supraorbital nerve and vascular bundles to prevent long-term numbness in the scalp and forehead. Additionally, suturing employs imported absorbable sutures under the skin, with dermal suturing. The incision surface is closed using suture-free adhesive tape, resulting in extremely inconspicuous postoperative scarring. This represents the most ideal eyebrow reduction surgical method and technique.Eyebrow makeup can be applied 8 days post-surgery, with permanent eyebrow tattooing recommended 1-3 months after the procedure.
III. Subbrow Resection is suitable for individuals with overly high eyebrow tattoos or lax upper eyelid skin. An incision approximately 1mm below the eyebrow margin is made. The incision design and range of excess skin removal are determined based on the desired eyebrow lowering and the degree of upper eyelid skin laxity. Different skin excision patterns are designed for the inner, middle, and outer areas of the lax upper eyelid skin.After excising excess skin, subcutaneous and dermal layers are sutured with imported absorbable sutures, while the skin surface employs suture-free adhesive technology. This technique is suitable for individuals with upper eyelid skin laxity and normal eyebrow structure/shape but overly low eyebrow placement. The incision is designed 1mm above the eyebrow margin. The shape, size of skin excision above the eyebrow, and partial eyebrow removal are determined based on skin laxity and eyebrow descent.
IV. Supra-brow Resection Suitable for individuals with upper eyelid skin laxity and normal eyebrow structure/shape, but with eyebrows positioned too low. The incision is designed 1mm above the eyebrow margin. The shape, size of skin to be removed above the eyebrow, and partial eyebrow removal are determined based on the degree of skin laxity and eyebrow ptosis.
V. Central Brow Cross Resection is suitable for drooping outer brows, downward-shifted outer canthi, and laxity in the lateral upper eyelid skin—sometimes presenting as triangular eyes. It is also indicated for individuals with scars or pigmentation in the outer brow region, provided the inner brow and central brow maintain normal position and shape.This procedure involves scarless lateral brow excision and removal of excess lateral upper eyelid skin. It corrects upper eyelid laxity, elevates the outer canthus, eliminates temporal wrinkles, rejuvenates the eye area and face, and improves brow shape—effectively achieving dual benefits with a single surgery.
