Patient: Doctor, my eyebrows are really low… can I get a lift above the brows?
Doctor: You mean a supra-brow lift? Yes, it’s an option in cases with very low-set brows.
Patient: Will it help open up my eyes and reduce the heaviness?
Doctor: Absolutely. It can elevate the brows and relieve the upper eyelid heaviness.
Patient: Is it better than an endoscopic brow lift for this case?
Doctor: For very low brows, especially in older patients or those with excess skin, supra-brow lift may be more effective.
Patient: Where would the incision be placed?
Doctor: Right above the eyebrows, following the natural brow line.
Patient: Will the scar be visible?
Doctor: There will be a scar, but with good technique and healing, it’s usually subtle and blends well.
Patient: Can it be done under local anesthesia?
Doctor: Yes, in many cases we can perform it safely under local anesthesia.
Patient: How long is the recovery?
Doctor: Swelling and bruising usually last about 1–2 weeks. Sutures are removed in 5–7 days.
Patient: Can it change the shape of my eyebrows?
Doctor: Slightly, depending on how much lift you need. We aim to preserve the natural arch.
Patient: What about numbness in the area?
Doctor: Temporary numbness is possible, especially right above the incision.
Patient: Is this common for Asian patients?
Doctor: Yes, especially in those with low-set brows and hooded eyelids.
Patient: How long does the result last?
Doctor: Typically, results last 5–10 years, depending on your skin and aging.
Patient: Is this surgery often combined with upper eyelid surgery?
Doctor: Yes, especially when there is both low brows and excess upper eyelid skin.
Patient: How soon can I return to work?
Doctor: Most people return to work within a week, depending on bruising.
Patient: Can I see some before-and-after photos?
Doctor: Of course. I’ll show you some examples similar to your case.
Patient: Great. I’m interested in moving forward.
