How is a sub-brow lift different from upper eyelid surgery?
Where the skin is taken from. Rewind's upper-lid operation opens along the crease line and removes skin, fat and slack muscle before the septum is secured. The sub-brow operation takes skin out beneath the brow and fixes it to periosteum, leaving the crease and the lash line as they are.
How noticeable is the line at the brow edge afterwards?
The incision is fine and sits at the lower edge of the brow, where the hair and the shadow of the brow help to cover it. It is still a surgical line: it matures over months, wants sun protection, and how quietly it settles differs between individuals.
Does the operation change my existing double-eyelid crease?
It does not, and the clinic gives that as its reason for offering the operation at all. The crease stays where it is, the lash line is never opened, and the skin above the lid is shortened from the brow side. Patients attached to their current fold are the usual candidates.
Is a sub-brow lift only suitable for middle-aged patients?
No. Rewind answers this one directly: the operation is not restricted to middle-aged patients and can be carried out at any age, depending on the condition of the lid. What decides it is how much loose skin sits above the lid, and where that skin came from.
How many years does the correction usually last?
Rewind records five years and more, with the figure depending on individual tissue elasticity and on how much was done. Descent carries on afterwards as part of ageing, so that number describes the working life of the correction while the face keeps changing around it.
Can it stop my lashes from poking into the eye?
That complaint is one of the clinic's listed indications: a lid drooped far enough to push the lashes down. Taking out the skin band above the lid removes the weight bearing on them. Whether it fully answers your symptom is judged at the examination, with the lid margin checked directly.
Does a sub-brow lift raise the eyebrow itself?
It works on the skin beneath the brow; the height of the brow is a separate question. Where the brow and the forehead have descended together, Rewind assesses the upper third for an endoscopic forehead lift with Endotine fixation, which is a different operation with its own listing.
Will a thick, heavy upper lid look lighter afterwards?
The clinic names improvement of a drooping lid and a thick upper lid among the aims, within the limit of what can be removed without overcorrection. How much of that thickness is skin and how much is fat or muscle is read at the chair, and the reading sets the expectation.
Which habits set the first month back?
Rewind asks that the operated area is not pulled strongly for about a month, and that alcohol, smoking and saunas are set aside for a period. The fixation to periosteum is taking hold during that window, and anything that increases swelling works against it.
Which details are only settled with the surgeon?
The anaesthesia and the length of the operation: Rewind publishes neither for this procedure, so both are agreed with the surgeon alongside the design. What the clinic does publish is the three operative steps, the month of restrictions afterwards and the durability it records, and those are the parts this page can source.
Is it usual to plan two eye operations in one session?
Eye operations are often planned in one session at Rewind, and each keeps its own listing and its own price. Whether combining them suits your case depends on how much swelling you are prepared to carry at once, and that is settled at the examination.
What if the lifting muscle is the real cause?
Then skin surgery is the wrong tool, and the answer is eyelid muscle correction, which Rewind lists on its own. Skin taken from under the brow lightens what presses on the lid; it does not change how strongly the lid lifts. The two are separated at the examination before a plan is written.
