If our eyes are the mirror of the soul, our eyebrows are the frame of that mirror. The position, shape and arch of the eyebrows determine the most basic expression of our face. Raised and arched eyebrows give us a younger, more dynamic and more positive energy, while eyebrows that fall and flatten over time make us feel tired, sad or irritable, even if we have had our sleep.
can cause an expression.
Eyebrow Lift with Medical Aesthetics: Non-Surgical, Natural and Dynamic Results
Although traditionally eyebrow lift is known as a surgical operation, modern medical aesthetics offers highly effective and natural solutions to this problem without using a scalpel and without the need for a healing process. One of these solutions is based on the delicate balances of facial anatomy. With Botox Eyebrow Lift is coming. As Dr. Melis Ulger, Istanbul, Kadikoy‘I would like to share with you all the details of this elegant and non-surgical technique that revitalizes your gaze.
Why Do Our Eyebrows Fall? The Anatomy Behind a Tired Expression
The downward displacement of our eyebrows over time is not simply a simple case of sagging skin. It is the result of the complex and dynamic balance of muscles in our face changing over the years. There are muscle groups in our face that work in opposite directions:
- Lifting (Elevator) Muscles: The only large muscle that raises our eyebrows upwards is the “frontalis” muscle in our forehead.
- Downward Pulling (Depressor) Muscles: The muscles that pull our eyebrows downwards and inwards are much stronger and more numerous. The most important members of this group are the outer part of the “orbicularis oculi” muscle, which wraps around our eyes like a ring, and the “glabella complex” (frowning muscles) located between our eyebrows.
At a young age there is a balance between these muscles. With age, however, the muscles that pull down usually become more dominant. In addition, as the skin loses collagen and elastin and the fat pads in the forehead area melt away, the eyebrows cannot resist gravity and gradually fall downwards. This leads to a feeling of heaviness in the eyelids and a deflated expression.
The "Gold Standard" of Non-Surgical Brow Lift: Botox
The secret to raising the eyebrows without a surgical incision lies in restoring this muscle balance. Botox, is the most effective and reliable tool we use to restore this balance.
How Does Botox Work? Restoring Balance
Contrary to what many people think, botox eyebrow lifting is not done by injecting into the eyebrow or the muscle that pulls it up. This can have the opposite effect and cause the eyebrows to fall even further. In the modern and correct technique, we apply botox to specific points of the muscles that pull the eyebrows down. In particular, a few tiny injections into the outer part of the circular muscle around the eye (orbicularis oculi) that pulls down the tail of the eyebrow gently weakens the strength of this muscle. When the downward traction force is reduced, the upward pulling frontalis muscle remains unrivaled and naturally lifts the eyebrow upwards by between 1 and 3 millimeters. This is a subtle lifting effect that is achieved without freezing your expression, simply by tipping the balance between the muscles in your favor.
Muscles Dance: Pulling Up and Pulling Down Muscles
You can think of it like a game of seesaw. On one side there is a single muscle (frontalis) that pulls the eyebrows up and on the other side there are strong muscles (orbicularis oculi, etc.) that pull them down. Over time, the pulling side starts to outweigh the pulling side and the eyebrows fall. The aim of a non-surgical brow lift is to restore the balance of this seesaw.
Strategic Support for Eyebrows with Filling Applications
In some cases, to further strengthen and support the lifting effect achieved with Botox dermal fillers We can also benefit from applications. With age, not only muscle balance, but also bone and fat tissue are lost. Especially the loss of volume in the temporal region or the bone line just below the eyebrow causes the eyebrow to lose its structural support and appear lower. Injecting a very small amount of hyaluronic acid-based filler into these strategic points acts as a “hanger” or “cushion” for the eyebrow, making it look more lifted and complementing the effect of Botox. This combined approach is part of holistic facial rejuvenation.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Non-Surgical Brow Lift?
- Those with mild or moderate drooping of the eyebrows.
- Those who feel a heaviness in their eyelids and are looking for a more “open” look.
- Those who complain that their facial expression always looks tired or sad.
- Those who desire a more curved and dynamic eyebrow shape.
- Those who want to avoid the risks of a surgical operation and the recovery process.
Surgical methods may be more appropriate for people with very severe eyebrow ptosis and eyelid drooping. A doctor's examination is essential to make this distinction.
