The Westernization of the face, particularly the eyebrows, is an increasingly common request in aesthetic medicine.
The Westernization of eyebrows in Asian individuals, through hyaluronic acid and Botox injections, is a non-invasive and personalized alternative to reshape this area.
Eyebrows play a central role in facial beauty and overall harmony. In individuals of Asian descent, the brow ridge is generally straighter and less pronounced than in Europeans.
Hyaluronic acid injections help to lift and redefine the eyebrows, giving them a more arched shape, subtly inspired by Western beauty standards, while maintaining facial harmony and respecting the patient’s identity.
Non-surgical westernization of the Asian eyebrow is an innovative aesthetic technique that reshapes the eyebrow to achieve a more open and structured look, without the need for invasive procedures. Thanks to non-surgical treatments such as hyaluronic acid and Botox injections, it is now possible to obtain a natural, harmonious result that is fully tailored to the facial anatomy.

L’occidentalisation des sourcils consiste à créer une forme de sourcil plus arquée, souvent perçue comme plus sophistiquée et expressive. Contrairement aux sourcils naturellement droits et plats, fréquents chez asiatiques, des sourcils plus arqués et bombés attirent l’attention vers les yeux et adoucissent les traits. Les injections d’acide hyaluronique permettent de remodeler les sourcils de façon non invasive, offrant un résultat temporaire et personnalisable, ce qui permet d’essayer différents styles (de sourcil) car le résultat n’est pas permanent.
This procedure is ideal for Asian patients who wish to subtly enhance the shape of their eyebrows for a more Westernized aesthetic, while maintaining a natural and balanced look.
It is particularly suited for patients who :
• Want to reshape their eyebrows without surgery. Injections provide visible, natural results without requiring an invasive procedure.
• Seek a lifting effect for a more open gaze. Hyaluronic acid injections into the brow ridge naturally elevate the eyebrows, creating a brighter and more youthful look.
• Prefer an adjustable and temporary solution. Unlike surgical procedures, hyaluronic acid injections offer a reversible and customizable result, allowing patients to refine their look over time.
Botox est une technique efficace pour ouvrir le regard et contribuer à l’occidentalisation du sourcil. En bloquant les muscles responsables de l’abaissement du sourcil les injections de Botox créent un effet “liftant” subtil qui relève légèrement les sourcils et agrandit visuellement les yeux. Ce relèvement donne une apparence plus reposé et détendue et rapproche ainsi le visage des standards esthétiques occidentaux. L’injection est minutieusement dosée afin d’obtenir un résultat naturel et harmonieux et éviter l’aspect figé. Les effets du Botox apparaissent généralement dans les 3 à 7 jours après la séance et durent entre 4 et 6 mois. Ce traitement est souvent combiné à l’injection d’acide hyaluronique pour la projection du sourcil, offrant une solution complète pour un regard ouvert et un sourcil rehaussé et harmonieux.
Hyaluronic acid injections in the eyebrow area offer several advantages:
• Personalized reshaping. Hyaluronic acid allows for sculpting a more arched or slightly elevated and subtly curved eyebrow shape, depending on the patient’s preferences.
• Lifting effect. By injecting into key points along the brow ridge, a subtle lifting effect is achieved, resulting in a more open and expressive gaze.
• Natural results. When correctly injected, hyaluronic acid blends seamlessly into the skin and facial structure, ensuring a harmonious appearance.
• Non-surgical procedure. Unlike surgical techniques, injections provide immediate reshaping without social downtime.
An initial consultation is essential to understand the patient’s expectations and assess facial morphology. The evaluation takes into account the natural eyebrow shape, brow ridge structure, and overall facial expression.
After disinfection, Dr. Romano performs the hyaluronic acid injection using a cannula (a blunt-tip needle).
The injection points are chosen based on the desired effect. Typically, the injection is administered just beneath the brow ridge to create a natural lifting effect and enhance the curve of the eyebrows. The product is placed deeply, directly at the bone level.
A small amount of hyaluronic acid is injected at a time to avoid excess volume, ensuring a subtle and natural result. The procedure is virtually painless and quick, offering maximum comfort to the patient.
After the injections, Dr. Romano massages and adjusts the product placement as needed, ensuring that the shape and height of the eyebrows perfectly harmonize with the rest of the face.
Before undergoing hyaluronic acid injections for eyebrow projection, it is recommended to follow certain precautions to ensure optimal results and minimize risks.
A few days before the session, it is advisable to avoid anticoagulant medications (after medical consultation and according to the prescribing doctor's instructions), anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as dietary supplements containing vitamin E or ginkgo biloba, as these may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. It is also recommended to avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours before the treatment, as it can also affect blood coagulation.
After the injection, it is important not to touch or massage the treated area for the first 24 hours to prevent displacing the product. It is also advised to avoid exposure to excessive heat sources, such as saunas, steam rooms, or direct sunlight, for 48 hours following the procedure. Finally, intense physical activity should be avoided for the same period to prevent inflammation and unintended product migration.
Hyaluronic acid injections are generally well tolerated, but like any aesthetic procedure, they can cause some temporary side effects. The most common include mild redness, slight swelling, and small bruises at the injection site. These symptoms typically disappear within a few days.
As this is a technically complex injection, it is essential to seek treatment from an experienced doctor. Otherwise, complications may arise, including allergic reactions, irregular product distribution, product visibility, necrosis, unsatisfactory results, and facial disharmony.
Hyaluronic acid injections provide immediate and harmonious results.
• Subtly arched and lifted brows. The brow ridge becomes slightly more pronounced, creating a more refined and elongated look.
• Lifted and expressive gaze. By elevating the eyebrows, the eyes appear more open, giving a livelier and more youthful appearance.
• Enhanced facial balance. A well-defined eyebrow curve can harmonize facial features and add a soft, elegant touch.
These results are temporary, lasting between 6 and 12 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and the quality of the injected product. The injections can be renewed every 6 to 12 months.
Les patientes asiatiques recherchent souvent des sourcils plus projetés et bombés pour ouvrir le regard, équilibrer les traits du visage et apporter plus de volume. Un sourcil plus arqué et structuré peut également adoucir les traits, donner une expression plus dynamique et affiner le haut du visage, tout en respectant l’harmonie naturelle.
La forme du sourcil joue un rôle essentiel dans l’équilibre du visage. Un sourcil trop plat peut accentuer la rondeur du visage, tandis qu’un sourcil légèrement arqué et bien défini contribue à élargir le regard, affiner les traits et structurer le visage. L’objectif est de créer un équilibre entre le front, les yeux et les pommettes.
Asian eyebrows tend to be straighter, flatter, and lower, giving a soft appearance but sometimes lacking structure. In contrast, Western eyebrows are often more arched, fuller, and higher, creating a lifted and more defined look. However, each facial morphology is unique, and trends are shifting toward more natural, personalized results.
Several non-invasive techniques can enhance eyebrow definition :
• Botox injections to gently lift the tail of the brow and open the gaze.
• Microblading or semi-permanent makeup to reshape the brow and enhance structure.
• Hyaluronic acid injections to reposition the brow, add volume, and lift the eye area naturally.
