The eyebrow is a key element of facial expression. Its position, shape, and arch can rejuvenate and enhance the look. A brow that sits too low can weigh down the gaze and create a stern appearance. A brow that is too high can give a surprised or vacant look. A brow lacking curvature does not highlight the eyes and exposes the bony rim, making the gaze appear older and more tired.
The non-surgical brow lift is a revolutionary approach to rejuvenating the gaze without undergoing invasive surgery.
Injections of hyaluronic acid and Botox offer a solution to correct drooping brows and redefine their natural arch.
These techniques subtly and naturally lift the brows, with long-lasting results.
The non-surgical brow lift is a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery. Botox lifts the brow by blocking the muscles responsible for pulling it down. Hyaluronic acid injections restore the lost volume and support that naturally diminish over time.
Eyebrow drooping, also known as brow ptosis, may be caused by several factors.
How brows change with age There are three main changes that occur with aging :
Change in shape : structural changes and the loss of tissue support alter the natural shape, making brows appear flatter or more curved.
The shape, position, and arch of the eyebrow should harmonize with the face. There are aesthetic standards and proportional guidelines to follow.
BY GENDER
Women : the brow is arched, the tail lifted, and positioned higher than in men.
Men : the brow sits at the bony ridge, is straighter and thicker.
DISTANCES AND PROPORTIONS
While there is no “ideal” eyebrow, a morphologic framework defines classical standards with three lines and four measurements :
The head of the brow aligns with the line from the nostril to the inner corner of the eye
The highest point of the brow lies along the line from the nostril to the center of the iris
The tail of the brow follows the line from the nostril to the outer corner of the eye
Distance between the eyelid crease and the bottom of the brow : 15–16 mm
Distance between the brow and the center of the pupil : 25 mm
Distance between the brow and the hairline : around 50 mm
Distance between the brow and the orbital rim : about 10 mm
EYEBROW AGING STAGES
Different stages of brow aging exist.
Stage 0 : well-arched brow
Stage 1 : moderately arched brow
Stage 2 : slightly arched brow
Stage 3 : flat brow, tired appearance
Stage 4 : flat brow, very tired appearance
A temporal or forehead lift are two aesthetic medicine techniques used to rejuvenate the eyes while maintaining natural and expressive facial features.
In some cases, cosmetic surgery may be the only effective solution.
Objective
The temporal lift targets the sagging and drooping of tissues in the temples and the outer part of the eyebrows.
Techniques
Injections of hyaluronic acid in the temples — and, if necessary, at the tail of the eyebrow — are used to restore lost volume.
Botox injections at the crow’s feet area complete the procedure.
Results
Patients observe a subtle yet significant lifting effect at the eyebrow tail and increased brightness in the temple area due to restored volume.
The gaze is rejuvenated and facial proportions rebalanced.
Objective
The forehead lift raises the eyebrows in their entirety and improves forehead wrinkles.
Techniques
Botox injections are commonly used to relax the frontalis muscle, which is responsible for horizontal forehead wrinkles.
Properly performed Botox lifts the brows and provides a natural, expressive result.
Results
Patients notice a significant reduction in forehead wrinkles, a more open look, and a rested appearance.
To lift the eyebrows naturally without cosmetic surgery, effective and non-invasive solutions exist.
Two techniques are used : hyaluronic acid injections and Botox injections.
Depending on the desired result, the injection technique will vary.
It is possible to lift the entire brow and open the gaze, or to lift only the brow tail for a cat-eye effect.
Hyaluronic acid injections restore lost volume in the temples and brow area, thereby supporting and lifting these anatomical structures.
This procedure must be performed by an experienced physician. A poorly executed injection can cause brow drooping and surface irregularities.
Dr. Romano performs the injections using a cannula.
She selects the type of hyaluronic acid (especially its firmness and viscosity) according to the patient's anatomy. The injection site also depends on local anatomy.
The treatment is therefore fully personalized.
Dr. Romano favors deep injections — placing the product against the bone — and may combine it with a more superficial injection depending on the indication.
Filling the upper eyelid, hollow temples, and dark circles often completes the overall eye rejuvenation.
The technique of Botox injections relies on the natural muscular balance of the brow.
The lowering muscles (the muscles responsible for crow's feet and frown lines) are blocked and the only lifting muscle, the forehead muscle (the muscle responsible for horizontal forehead wrinkles), is left to act.
This will make it possible to raise your eyebrows naturally and rejuvenate the eyes.
A thorough assessment before treatment is essential, as in some cases this procedure is not indicated. Ptotic foreheads, significant skin laxity, or fatty tissue descent should be treated surgically.
The result is the restoration of the brow’s arch, position, and proportions.
The face appears refreshed and rejuvenated, with a more open and alert look.
The results are fast and long-lasting. The procedure is safe and well-tolerated, and patients can resume daily activities immediately.
These results make the non-surgical brow lift a preferred option for those who wish to rejuvenate their face without surgery.
Botox results appear 7 days after injection and last 5 to 6 months.
Hyaluronic acid results are immediate and last around one year.

Patient feedback on non-surgical brow lifts, whether with Botox or hyaluronic acid, is often very positive.
This technique is a safe, effective, and low-maintenance option for a rejuvenated and more harmonious face.
Patients are pleased with the fast, natural-looking results and the absence of downtime — a treatment that can easily be done during a lunch break.
Hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin to restore lost volume and moisturise the area. This gives the eyebrows a fuller, lifted appearance.
Good candidates for this procedure are people who wish to correct sagging or asymmetrical eyebrows, but prefer to avoid surgery. A consultation with a doctor will determine whether this technique is suitable.
Potential side-effects are generally minimal and transitory: redness, slight swelling, bruising. They generally disappear within a few days. It is important to choose a qualified professional to minimise the risks.
Yes, the eyebrow lift without surgery can be combined with other aesthetic procedures such as wrinkle-filling injections, treatment of dark circles and, more generally, any type of injection.
Botox is used to relax the muscles responsible for sagging eyebrows. By temporarily inhibiting these muscles, botox achieves a natural lifting effect and improves the position of the eyebrows without surgery.
The results of an eyebrow lift using hyaluronic acid and botox injections generally last between 4 and 12 months, depending on individual metabolism and the amount of product used. Regular maintenance sessions are therefore necessary.
The non-surgical eyebrow lift is a non-invasive solution where the patient can return to his or her activities immediately, unlike traditional cosmetic surgery which requires a period of convalescence. The results of a non-surgical brow lift are also more subtle and natural.
Before treatment, you should avoid taking any food supplements or medicines that could increase the risk of bleeding, such as anti-inflammatory drugs. Any medical problems or potential allergies should also be discussed with the doctor.
