I was deliberating between revision eye surgery and a brow lift. Since the area around my eyes might keep sagging as I age anyway, I decided to try a lift this time. While researching a sub-brow lift, I learned for the first time that each clinic differs slightly in the range they lift and the way they design it. I also had sagging toward the outer corners, but the inner corners looked heavy and closed-in too, so lifting only the back seemed like it would feel incomplete. The clinic I consulted explained that they do not pull only the back of the brows; they assess the degree of sagging at the front, middle, and back separately and design an evenly distributed lift overall. I kept saying that I absolutely did not want a harsher look, and they said they would not simply lift everything high but adjust it naturally based on my original brow position and eyelid condition. I also have some asymmetry, so they said methods such as a buried-suture double eyelid could be considered together if needed, and we discussed that as well. If you are researching a sub-brow lift, do not look only at how much they lift; it would be good to ask which range they assess, from front to back. Symmetry is most important to me, so I asked them to check anything necessary together, whether buried sutures or something else T_T Since I had made up my mind, I booked the surgery and had it right away. Wow... I was genuinely much more satisfied than expected lol. I have had various cosmetic procedures, so I was prepared for some scarring, but the incision bothered me much less than I had worried it would, which was surprising. From my consultation at [Clinic A], I felt they were extremely meticulous about the design and symmetry. My biggest concern was that the inner-corner area looked heavy and pressed down, but once that was corrected, my eyes looked much less closed-in. It did not look as if only one side had been pulled dramatically; because the front, middle, and back flowed together overall, the left-right balance was close to what I wanted. I do not look like a completely different person, but the area around my eyes feels lighter and more refined. I used to think a lift was a procedure people should have only when they were much older, but after doing it myself, I am more satisfied than expected. If sagging bothers me again later, I think I will consult again based on my condition at that time lol. Anyway, I am extremely satisfied right now...
