Eyebrow Aesthetics

Eyebrows are very important structures on the human face. They directly affect and direct our looks, facial expressions and facial expressions. Different eyebrow shapes can give the face angry, tired, happy, sad and confused expressions. Drooping eyebrows can also cause some droopy eyelids, making our face look older than it actually is.

When asked what the ideal eyebrow shape is, according to the descriptions made in classic books on facial aesthetics, the inner border ends at the line drawn above the edge of the nose wing, the outer border ends at the line passing through the edge of the nose wing and the outer corner of the eye, and the highest point is between the pupil and the eye. An eyebrow that is somewhere between its outer corner is an ideal eyebrow, that is, eyebrows that look like a crescent with an upturned middle. However, I think this cannot be an ideal description for everyone, because beauty has no standard.

What are the eyebrow lifting (eyebrow aesthetics) methods?
On some faces, the more raised the eyebrows are, the more beautiful they look, while on some, eyebrows that rise slightly to the sides and lie flat, and sometimes eyebrows that are excessively plucked from the sides and only 2/3 of the inner part are left beautiful. Techniques used to lift the eyebrow and shape it into the desired shape; Methods such as eyebrow plucking, permanent make-up or tattoo, Botox application, eyebrow lift with sling, and eyebrow lift with surgery.

botox
If applied correctly, the desired result can be achieved by lifting the outer parts of the eyebrows. Botox is a substance that temporarily disables facial expression muscles. For this reason, it is also used in wrinkle treatment. Its application is simple. It is applied painlessly after ice is applied to the injection area for a while to reduce pain. Effect 3-4. It starts to show in days 7-10. The effect becomes apparent within days, sometimes another injection for touch-up purposes may be required on the 10th day. Its effect is temporary. It needs to be repeated every 5-6 months. After the application, you may experience spot-like bruising and swelling on your face, which will disappear in a short time. Applying ice immediately after the application prevents swelling and bruising. You can return to your work and daily life immediately after Botox application.

Lifting eyebrows with a hanger
It is a very simple and quick method to apply. It can be done with local anesthesia. The eyebrows are lifted as much as possible by passing non-melting threads with the help of needles through 2-3 mm incisions made through the hair and above the eyebrows. Its effect lasts between 8 months and 1 year. You can return to work on the same day. Recently, special ropes have been produced for making hangers. With these two-way stretching threads, it is possible to lift eyebrows more effectively and for a longer period of time (approximately 2 years).

eyebrow lift with surgery
It is a method that is generally applied alone in patients in the young and middle age group, if only the edges of the eyebrows are desired to be lifted without any sagging in the eyebrows. In the older age group, it can be combined with face lift surgeries and eyelid aesthetics. Surgical eyebrow lifting is a method that produces permanent results. However, as the forehead will sag over time, there will be some drooping in the eyebrows.

Eyebrow lift surgery alone can also be performed with local anesthesia. There are different methods. One of the classical methods is to remove the necessary amount of skin from the upper border of the eyebrows with incisions made in accordance with the eyebrow shape and re-stitch the remaining skin to the eyebrow border. It is a quick and simple method that can be preferred in older ages and can be performed with local anesthesia. In another method, a few cm incision is made through the scalp in the temple area. After the skin area up to the eyebrow is freed from the underlying tissues, the excess skin is removed and stitched back together.

In this method, the scar is hidden in the scalp. The most popular technique in recent years is the endoscopic forehead lift and eyebrow lift method, which can be done together with forehead lift or just for eyebrow lift. A long, thin tube connected to a video camera called an endoscope is used. The endoscope is placed into 3-5 small incisions made on the scalp.

Thus, the surgeon can work by seeing inside the forehead through the endoscope. He performs the surgery by inserting surgical instruments through other holes.

The endoscope technique ensures that the incisions are very small in size. Excesses and muscles that cause wrinkles on the forehead are corrected by viewing the camera on the screen. Hanging threads are placed on the eyebrows. Compared to the classical method, the incisions in the hair are very small, the surgery time is shorter, and the recovery time and return to normal life are very short.
