Subbrow Eyelid Lift

---

The subbrow eyelid lift is a specialized upper eyelid rejuvenation procedure performed by skilled plastic surgeons like Dr. Aicee Bernal in Manila. This procedure effectively removes excess skin just beneath the eyebrows, achieving an upper eyelid lift without altering the natural crease or creating a double eyelid. It’s particularly ideal for patients — especially those of Asian descent — seeking facial rejuvenation to correct upper eyelid hooding while preserving their monolid or natural eyelid contour. In addition to surgical options, many patients also explore various non-surgical treatments to enhance their overall appearance.

Sagging upper eyelid skin, also known as dermatochalasis, can lead to hooded eyes or heavy lids. This condition may obstruct vision due to excess eyelid skin, contributing to a tired or aged appearance. For those seeking facial rejuvenation without the need for traditional double eyelid surgery, consulting with a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Aicee Bernal in Manila can provide options for non-surgical treatments.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Aicee Bernal has extensive experience in eyelid procedures. She performs subbrow lifts with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking results that preserve your ethnic features. Located in Manila, Dr. Aicee Bernal tailors the lift to suit your unique facial structure and skin type, avoiding excessive correction and ensuring minimal visible scarring by placing incisions just beneath the eyebrow. In addition to her surgical expertise, she also offers various non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation and breast reconstruction, providing comprehensive options for her patients.

Procedure Time: 1–1.5 hours

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia

Incision Location: Hidden just below the eyebrow

Downtime: 5–7 days of swelling and bruising, which is common after cosmetic surgery procedures.

Scarring: Minimal and fades over time, especially with skilled techniques from a qualified plastic surgeon like Dr. Aicee Bernal.

Results: Visible in 1–2 weeks; full results in 6-12 months, similar to outcomes seen in facial rejuvenation treatments offered in Manila, including both surgical and non-surgical treatments.

Q: How is this different from upper blepharoplasty? A: A subbrow lift, often performed by a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Aicee Bernal in Manila, removes excess skin from just under the brow, rather than along the eyelid crease. It’s ideal for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation who don’t want to create or change their double eyelid, or for those with thick eyelid skin or those who have previously undergone a blepharoplasty. 

Q: Will the incision be visible? A: No — the incision is placed directly under the eyebrow, where it’s well hidden and usually heals to be nearly invisible. 

Q: Is this a good option for older patients? A: Yes! It’s an excellent choice for older patients with heavy eyelids who desire a fresher look without altering their eyelid fold, and it can complement various cosmetic surgery options, including breast reconstruction and non-surgical treatments.
