Hooded Eyes and an Unclear Eyelid Crease, Correcting Them With Endoscopic Brow Lift

Do you have to get up early and spend longer on your make-up than other people, because you need to apply double eyelid tape every day and make both creases match? On some days your make-up still does not sit well and your eyes look sleepy and tired, all because of hooded eyes that hide your eyelid crease.

Many people think double eyelid surgery, which creates a second fold in the upper lid, is the only way to fix this. In fact, the problem may not come from the eyelid crease alone. It may be caused by a low brow or drooping upper eyelid skin pressing down on your existing crease, so the crease is hard to see.

If this concerns you and you are looking for a suitable option, endoscopic brow and forehead lift at S45 Clinic is one approach that can help your existing crease show more clearly, cut down your make-up routine and give you a fresher look while you still look like yourself. The incisions are not made on the face itself, and recovery is relatively short.

Why Is Using Double Eyelid Tape Every Day Not a Long-Term Solution?

If you have hooded eyes, using tape may be an easy option in the short term. But over the long term, pulling the eyelid skin again and again may have unexpected effects, such as:

• irritation and inflammation of the eyelid skin
• drooping upper eyelid skin earlier than usual, because the skin is pulled and taped every day
• embarrassment if the tape comes off during the day, or visible edges when you close your eyes
• a longer make-up routine

Why Do Hooded Eyes and Drooping Upper Eyelid Skin Make You Look Stern and Older Than Your Age?

Hooded eyes together with drooping upper eyelid skin do not only affect how your eyes look. They also affect your whole face and how other people see you, for example:

• Sad, tired-looking eyes: you look sleepy and tired, even when you have had enough rest.
• An unintentionally stern face: a low brow pressing down makes the face look tense all the time.
• Looking older than your age: upper eyelid skin that droops over the eyes is one of the signs of skin ageing.
• A less approachable look: a space between the brow and the eye that is too narrow may make you look expressionless, aloof or hard to approach.

Warning Signs That You May Need a Brow Lift Rather Than Surgery to Create a Second Eyelid Fold

Double eyelid surgery, which creates a second fold in the lid, may often not solve the problem if the cause lies in the level of the brow and the skin above the eye. Check these signs to see whether this applies to you:

• Hooded eyes: you already have an eyelid crease, but the skin above it droops down and hides it.
• A drooping outer corner and drooping upper eyelid skin: the skin at the outer corner of the eye droops, making your eyes look sad and your face look older than your age.
• A narrow space between the brow and the eye: this makes you look stern, aloof or hard to approach.
• Raising your brows all the time: to make your eyes look bigger, which leads to lines on the forehead.

Endoscopic brow lift helps widen the space between the brow and the eye, which can help your eyelid crease look clearer and your eyes look rounder, bigger and brighter.

Choosing the Right Material for Endoscopic Brow Lift

The choice of material for brow lift is another important factor in getting a balanced result. The surgeon assesses your skin condition and how much your skin has sagged. S45 Clinic offers 3 types of material:

Suture (A Medical Material That Does Not Dissolve)

Suitable for people aged 25 to 35 who are starting to have mild to moderate sagging. It helps lift and tighten specific areas. Results may last about 5 to 8 years, depending on each person.

Endofict (A Medical Material That Dissolves)

Suitable for people aged 30 to 45. It is a small anchor with tiny barbs that helps spread the pulling force over a wider area and lift sagging skin and muscle. Results may last about 5 to 10 years, depending on each person.

Endotine (A Material That Dissolves)

Suitable for all skin types, especially people with thick skin aged 35 to 65. Endotine is a medical device designed to hold the skin and spread the pulling force over a wide area. The material dissolves by itself within 6 to 12 months. Results may last about 10 to 15 years, depending on each person.

Feel More Confident With Endoscopic Brow Lift at S45 Clinic

If you have hooded eyes or an unclear eyelid crease and rely on eyelid tape every day to create a second fold, a “brow lift” can help open up the area around your eyes so it looks clearer.

In this case, the brow lift was done together with a midface lift to make the facial structure more balanced, using an endoscopic technique with a high-resolution view. This helps the surgeon see scar tissue, blood vessels and nerves clearly at every step. The result was not only a clearer eyelid crease but also a fresher-looking face, including:

• small incisions hidden along the hairline, so the scars are usually hard to see
• a lower chance of swelling and bruising in some cases, with a relatively short recovery for many people
• less drooping upper eyelid skin and less hooding over the crease
• a raised brow and a lifted midface, for a fresher-looking face
