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 eyebrow lift without surgery is a revolutionary approach to rejuvenate the eyes without resorting to an invasive procedure.
The injections of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin* are a solution to correct drooping eyebrows and redefine their natural arch.
These techniques make it possible to lift the eyebrows in a subtle and natural way. The results are long-lasting.
The eyebrow lift without surgery represents a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery.
The botulinum toxin* used to lift the eyebrows works by blocking the muscles responsible for the drooping of this part of the face.
The injections of hyaluronic acid in the eyebrows restore the volume and support lost over time.
Eyebrow drooping, also known as brow ptosis, may be caused by several factors.
With age three changes modify the eyebrow.
The change in shape : due to structural changes and the loss of tissue support, the natural shape of the eyebrows can change over time. The eyebrow becomes 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.
Depending on gender
In women, the eyebrow is arched, and the tail is lifted. The female eyebrow is positioned higher than the male one.
In men, the eyebrow is located at the level of the bony rim, it is horizontal and thicker.
Distances and proportions
The ideal eyebrow does not exist, however a morphological scheme defines the classic criteria according to three lines and four distances.
The head of the eyebrow is located at the level of the line that connects the wing of the nose to the inner canthus (inner corner) of the eye.
The highest point of the eyebrow is located at the level of the line that connects the wing of the nose to the center of the iris.
The tail of the eyebrow is located at the level of the line that connects the wing of the nose to the outer canthus of the eye.
The distance between the upper eyelid fold and the lower edge of the eyebrow is 15 to 16mm.
The distance between the eyebrow and the middle of the pupil is 25mm.
The distance between the eyebrow and the hairline is about 50mm.
The distance between the eyebrow and the superior orbital rim is about 10mm.
Aging of the eyebrow
There are different stages of severity in eyebrow aging.
Stage 0 : well-arched eyebrow.
Stage 1 : moderately arched eyebrow.
Stage 2 : slightly arched eyebrow.
Stage 3 : flat appearance of the eyebrow, tired look.
Stage 4 : flat appearance of the eyebrow, very tired look.
The temporal lift and the frontal lift are two possible techniques in aesthetic-oriented medicine to rejuvenate the eyes while preserving authentic and lively expressions.
In some cases, resorting to aesthetic surgery is the only solution.
Objective
The temporal lift aims to correct the laxity and sagging of the tissues in the temple area and the outer part of the eyebrows.
Techniques
Injections of hyaluronic acid in the temple area, and possibly in the tail of the eyebrow, are performed to restore the lost volume.
Injections of botulinum toxin* in the crow’s feet area complete the procedure.
Results
Patients notice a subtle but significant lifting effect at the tail of the eyebrow and an increase in brightness in the temple area, which is filled.
The gaze is rejuvenated, the face rebalanced.
Objective
The frontal lift raises the eyebrows in their entirety and improves forehead wrinkles.
Techniques
Injections of botulinum toxin are commonly used to relax the forehead muscles responsible for forehead wrinkles.
A properly performed injection of botulinum toxin* lifts the eyebrows and gives a natural and lively result.
Results
Patients notice a significant reduction in forehead wrinkles, an opening of the gaze and a more rested appearance.
To lift the eyebrows naturally without resorting to aesthetic surgery, effective and non-invasive solutions exist.
For this, two techniques are used : injections of hyaluronic acid and injections of botulinum toxin*.
Depending on the desired result the injections will be performed differently.
It is possible to lift the entire eyebrow and open the gaze or to lift only the tail of the eyebrow for a “doe-eye” effect.
(*) Botulinum toxin is indicated for the temporary improvement of the appearance of moderate to severe vertical lines between the eyebrows, visible when frowning maximally (frown lines) and/or moderate to severe lateral lines (crow’s feet) visible during a maximal smile, when they cause significant psychological distress in adult patients.
The eyebrow lift is not an indication for botulinum toxin, but treating crow’s feet and frown lines creates an eyebrow lifting effect.
Injections of hyaluronic acid restore the lost volume in the temples and eyebrows, which allows these anatomical structures to be supported and lifted.
This procedure must be performed by an experienced doctor. In fact, a failed injection causes drooping of the eyebrow and surface irregularities.
Dr. Romano performs the injection with a cannula.
The doctor chooses the type of hyaluronic acid (notably its firmness and viscosity) according to the patient’s anatomy. The injected area also depends on the local anatomy.
The treatment is therefore personalized.
Dr. Romano favors deep injection, with the product placed against the bone, and sometimes combines it with a more superficial injection, depending on the indication.
Filling the upper eyelid, the hollow temples and the dark circles often completes the eye area treatment.
The principle of botulinum toxin* is to use the existing physiological muscle balance at the level of the eyebrow.
The depressor muscles (these are the muscles responsible for crow’s feet and frown lines) are blocked and the only elevator muscle, the frontal muscle (this is the muscle responsible for the horizontal forehead lines), is left to act.
It will thus be possible to naturally lift the eyebrows and achieve a rejuvenation of the gaze.
The analysis made before the treatment is essential for the result, because in certain situations this procedure is not indicated : a ptotic forehead, excessive skin laxity and fatty ptosis must be treated surgically.
The result is a restoration of the curvature, the position and the proportions of the eyebrow. The face appears rested and rejuvenated, the gaze opened.
The eyebrow lift revitalizes the face in a non-invasive and effective way.
The results obtained are :
The results are fast and long-lasting, the procedure is safe and well tolerated : patients resume their daily activities immediately.
These results make the medical eyebrow lift treatment a preferred option for people who want to rejuvenate their face without surgery.
The result of botulinum toxin injections is visible seven days after the injection, and its duration is five to six months.
The result of hyaluronic acid injections is immediate and lasts one year.
In Geneva, the price of an eyebrow lift by injection varies according to the method used. The treatment with botulinum toxin is offered at the rate of 450 CHF. If hyaluronic acid is indicated, the price is 650 CHF per syringe. These aesthetic procedures are performed in a medical office, under strict safety conditions, and the costs may vary depending on the personalized treatment plan defined during the consultation.
Patient reviews of the non-surgical eyebrow lift, using injections of botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid, are often very positive.
This technique is a safe, effective and minimally restrictive option for a rejuvenated and more harmonious face.
Patients are satisfied with the rapid, natural results and the absence of social downtime. This treatment can be performed during the 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 temporary : redness, slight swelling, bruising. They usually disappear within a few days. It is important to choose an experienced doctor to minimize the risks.
Yes, the non-surgical eyebrow lift can be combined with other aesthetic procedures such as wrinkle-filling injections, dark circle treatment and more generally with any type of injection.
Botulinum toxin is used to relax the muscles responsible for the drooping of the eyebrows. By temporarily inhibiting these muscles, the botulinum toxin creates a natural lifting effect and improves the position of the eyebrows without surgery.
The results of the eyebrow lift with hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin injections can generally last between 4 and 12 months, depending on individual metabolism and the amount of product used. Regular maintenance sessions are therefore to be expected.
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 the treatment, you should avoid taking dietary supplements or medications that could increase the risk of bleeding, such as anti-inflammatories. You should also discuss any medical condition or potential allergy with the doctor.
