Treatment Overview
A Mini Brow Lift is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery designed to subtly elevate the eyebrows and refresh the upper face. Using small hidden incisions along the hairline or temples, the procedure reduces mild sagging and softens forehead lines without the need for a full brow lift. In Korea, advanced microsurgical tools and techniques ensure natural results, minimal scarring, and faster recovery, making it a popular choice for patients in their 30s and 40s.
Purpose & Benefits
- Elevates mildly drooping brows for a refreshed look
- Reduces early signs of forehead wrinkles and frown lines
- Enhances eye openness and brightness
- Provides natural-looking results without drastic changes
- Leaves minimal or hidden scars
- Shorter recovery period compared to traditional brow lifts
Ideal Candidates
- Patients with mild brow sagging or early forehead aging
- Younger individuals (30s–40s) not requiring a full brow lift
- Those seeking subtle enhancement rather than dramatic change

Possible Risks & Complications
Although rare, possible risks include:
- Temporary swelling or bruising around the temples
- Mild asymmetry of brows
- Temporary tightness or numbness in the forehead
- Small risk of scarring or infection

Surgical Techniques Used
