Eyebrow Lifting: Techniques and Advice

The Importance of Eyebrows in Eye Aesthetics

Analyzing the shape of an eyebrow, we can divide it into three parts: the head, located medially to the nose, the central part or body, and the lateral part or tail of the eyebrow. Generally, lifting the head of the eyebrow is rarely necessary, as this can create an expression of disbelief or astonishment. Eyebrow lifts much more frequently concern the tail, and sometimes the body, of the eyebrow. On Caucasian faces with good proportions and normal orbital cavities, the outer or lateral part of the eyebrows should always be above the orbital rim, with some sex-based differences. According to Western aesthetic standards, it should be approximately half a centimeter higher in women and 2 to 3 mm higher in men.

Eyebrow Lift to Raise Them

The classic eyebrow lift raises the eyebrows by precisely planning their future position and shape.

It is performed on two different patient categories:

• Individuals whose sagging is due to aging;
• Individuals with constitutionally lowered eyebrows, especially on the sides, or asymmetrical eyebrow position;

An eyebrow lift can also correct excess upper eyelid skin, which forms a kind of "tendon", particularly in the lateral sectors, and "stretch" lateral eye wrinkles (crow's feet).

The result is a more open and bright, less aged and sad look, without altering the eye shape.

For an eyebrow lift, the cosmetic surgeon must carefully analyze the eye morphology and any facial asymmetries. They must also carefully listen to the patient's motivations and psychological aspects, gently guiding them through the procedure, always proposing the safest and most suitable aesthetic solution, without obvious signs.

Eyebrow Lifting: Medical and Surgical Techniques

Classic Eyebrow Lift

Several techniques exist for eyebrow lifts. The simplest and most effective is the classic eyebrow lift, performed on an outpatient basis. In just a few minutes, it provides a noticeable lift by removing a small strip of skin above the eyebrow. The scar is located just above the eyebrow edge, easily concealed by hair or makeup.

Fox Eyes or Temporal Lift

Other surgical techniques to lift the outer eyebrow include the frontal temporal lift, which involves incisions in the scalp to disconnect and anchor tissues, resulting in a higher incidence of edema (swelling) and hematomas. A forehead lift, most often performed during blepharoplasty, stabilizes the eyebrows by fixing them to the orbital rim.

Tension Threads to Lift Eyebrows

The innovative eyebrow lifting technique using tension threads rejuvenates the look by lifting the lateral eyebrow (tail) without altering its natural shape or expression. This method effectively lifts the eyebrow and temporal region through a very small (2mm) incision above the hairline (completely hidden), avoiding the scars of classic eyebrow lift surgery, temporal lift, and blepharoplasty.

This procedure's success depends on two factors:

• The tension thread does not cut tissues and creates a natural suspensory ligament;
• The suspension at the eyelid level, under the eyebrow, is stable and permanent for many years;

The procedure lifts the eyebrow and eye sides without altering their natural shape or expression. After the procedure, threads are fixed to deep structures via very small incisions to ensure effective support, creating a three-dimensional effect.

Eyebrow Lifting: Postoperative Care and Advice

Eyebrow lifting is a relatively simple, same-day surgical procedure allowing an immediate return to daily activities. Performed by an experienced surgeon, it yields satisfactory and natural results. Contrary to popular belief, scars are very fine and hidden within natural skin folds, just above the eyebrow edge, easily concealed by eyebrow hairs or makeup. You can resume activities immediately after the procedure; small stitches are removed after 7 days.

This intervention offers many advantages:

• Minimally invasive;
• Low risk of complications;
• Long-lasting results;
• Possibility to shape the eyebrows optimally;

In addition to surgical procedures, patients can opt for a non-surgical alternative: neuromodulator treatment. However, while surgical lifting provides permanent results, neuromodulators offer a temporary, slight lift of the eyebrow tail, lasting approximately 4 to 6 months.

Due to its safety and ease, this facial area lift is very popular. The ultimate goal is to harmonize the face and eliminate the sad, tired look associated with drooping eyebrows.
