Lift heavy upper lids by removing skin just beneath the brow, with the scar hidden in the brow line.


A sub-brow lift removes a strip of skin from directly beneath the eyebrow to lift heavy upper-lid skin and gently raise the brow position. The scar is hidden along the lower edge of the brow hair, where it is well concealed.
It suits patients whose upper-lid heaviness is partly driven by a low or heavy lateral brow, where standard eyelid surgery alone would not fully correct the hooding. It restores a more open upper eye and a subtle brow lift in one step.
It is a focused, less invasive alternative to a full brow lift for the right candidate. It does not raise the central forehead or treat the lower lids. All surgery carries risks, and results vary.
It does not raise the central brow or smooth forehead lines, which need a brow lift, and it does not treat the lower lids. It leaves a fine scar along the brow.
You will receive instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, and fasting. The brow and lids are assessed together to confirm a sub-brow lift suits your pattern of heaviness.
A precise strip of skin is removed just beneath the eyebrow and the edges are closed with fine sutures, lifting the heavy upper lid and gently raising the brow. The scar sits along the brow hair.
Swelling and bruising settle over one to two weeks. Sutures are removed within about a week. The fine scar along the brow fades over the following months.
A more open upper eye and a subtly lifted brow are achievable, with the scar hidden at the brow. It cannot raise the central forehead, cannot treat the lower lids, and leaves a fine scar that fades over time.
A sub-brow lift is generally safe, but all surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
Scar visibility depends on healing and brow hair, so candidacy is assessed individually. Smoking impairs healing.
Brow and eyelid surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose precise planning places the scar discreetly and balances brow and lid together.
Dr. Amoroso plans facial surgery around harmony and proportion, not a pulled or operated look. The aim is a refreshed version of your own face, where the change reads as good health rather than surgery.
His background in reconstructive microsurgery brings a detailed command of facial anatomy, the nerves, the deeper support layers, and the way tissues age. That precision underpins both safety and natural, lasting results.
