Eyebrow Lifting

Eyebrow lifting is a surgical or non-surgical procedure aimed at restoring a younger, more vibrant, and aesthetically pleasing appearance to sagging or drooping eyebrows. Aesthetic concerns such as forehead sagging, lowered brow lines, and tired looks can be addressed through eyebrow lifting. This procedure positively changes a person’s facial expression, resulting in a more energetic appearance.

Why is Eyebrow Lifting Performed?

Due to aging, the effects of gravity, facial expressions, and genetic factors, eyebrows may sag over time. This can especially create pressure on the eyelids, making a person appear constantly tired or sad. Eyebrow lifting may be performed for the following purposes:

  • Lifting drooping eyebrows to provide a younger appearance

  • Eliminating the tired expression around the eyes

  • Correcting asymmetrical eyebrow structure

  • Relieving pressure on the eyelid

  • Achieving a more lifted and attractive facial expression aesthetically

Eyebrow Lifting Methods

Eyebrow lifting can be performed using both surgical and non-surgical techniques. The choice of method is determined based on the individual’s needs and expectations.

1. Endoscopic Eyebrow Lifting (Surgical)

Small incisions are made in the forehead area, and intervention is performed from the inside using a camera system called an endoscope. The eyebrows are pulled upwards, and the forehead muscles are tightened. Advantages include more permanent results and minimal scarring.

2. Classic Eyebrow Lifting (Open Surgery)

An incision is made in the scalp area of the forehead, excess skin is removed, and the eyebrows are lifted. This is preferred for more advanced sagging.

3. Thread Eyebrow Lifting (Non-surgical)

This technique, especially used for minimal sagging, involves lifting the eyebrows using special threads placed under the skin. Recovery is quick after the procedure.

4. Eyebrow Lifting with Botulinum Toxin (Botox)

Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles around the eyebrows, slightly lifting them by changing muscle balance. It is a temporary method, usually lasting 4-6 months.

Post-Eyebrow Lifting Process

After surgical eyebrow lifting procedures, mild swelling and bruising may occur for a few days. With non-surgical methods, individuals can immediately return to their daily lives. Although results vary depending on the person’s age, skin structure, and chosen method, generally successful and satisfactory results are achieved.
