Eyebrow Lift (Direct & Endoscopic) in Seoul, Korea
An eyebrow lift raises a dropped brow to a higher, more youthful position, relieving eyelid hooding, blocked vision and forehead strain at the same time. It suits eyes where the gap between eye and brow is small and an upper blepharoplasty could make the look harsh.

How Eyebrow Lift (Direct & Endoscopic) works
A direct brow lift removes skin above the brow, with the scar hidden along the upper brow hairs. An endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions in the scalp and lifts the brow from above, fixing it to the bone.
The choice depends on how far the brow needs to move, your hairline and scar preference. Both keep your double eyelid line unchanged.
Our approach to Eyebrow Lift (Direct & Endoscopic)

Direct or endoscopic, chosen for your brow and hairline.
