The Best Eyebrow Lift Injections With Filler

Sagging eyebrows may contribute to the appearance of heavy eyelids, something that many patients do not realize until they examine old photographs of themselves. For those who wish to lift their brows, there are many surgical and non-surgical options available.

Often as we age, the brow and eye area are the first to show physical signs of ageing. This could be through drooping, fine lines and wrinkles, or hooding of the eye area. Sometimes even younger people may have heavy or droopy looking brows, hooded eyes or suffer from brow asymmetry. 

What is a non-surgical brow lift?

A non-surgical brow lift typically entails a personalized combination of cosmetic procedures, including dermal fillers, botulinum toxin, and laser treatments, to provide rejuvenation to the upper face and brow area without the need for invasive plastic surgery. 

As we age, the body consistently produces less collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are skin proteins that contribute to elasticity and firmness. The development of loose, excess skin, volume loss, and wrinkles typically accompanies the depletion of collagen and elastin. 

In the brow area, this might result in sagging skin in the upper eyelids, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. A non-surgical brow lift involves utilizing cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers, Thermage® for skin tightening, and botulinum toxin injections to reduce signs of aging in the upper face without cosmetic surgery or downtime. 

These non-surgical treatments can be complementary and are often combined by Dr. Green to lift the brow and address multiple aspects of the skin aging process effectively.

What happens during the brow lift treatment itself?

The face will be cleaned with alcohol. Ice will be applied to the area briefly before treatment.

The injector will inject  around the eyes and brows, with muscle relaxing injections: commonly injecting in the muscles which pull the  eyebrows down eg orbicularis oculi and procerus. Then pressure with gauze will be applied.With dermal filler, the place to inject will depend on the anatomy of the brows currently. The outer brow may be injected or the inner brow where it meets the root of the nose may be injected. 

What are the differences between a surgical brow lift and a non-surgical brow lift?

Whilst a non-surgical brow lift is quick, easy, and relatively harmless, the effects are also not permanent. This means that additional treatment may be necessary to achieve an optimal outcome. 

The good news is that this additional maintenance is also speedy and straightforward, so a surgical procedure is still avoidable further down the line. 

There is also virtually no scarring. Studies have shown little risk of a non-surgical eyebrow lift developing complications at any stage of the procedure.

Non-surgical brow lifts are, however, not necessarily an ideal solution for more mature individuals further into the ageing process. 

Heavier wrinkles and more severe creases will generally require a surgical lift to achieve the desired aesthetic, and since a non-invasive brow lift isn’t a permanent solution; it is usually more effective amongst the younger generation.

Understanding the brow and its concerns

The eyebrow and forehead undergo noticeable changes as we age. One primary concern is the development of forehead wrinkles, affecting both the forehead skin and muscles.

These horizontal forehead wrinkles serve as telltale signs of aging. Another issue lies within the eyebrows, where the skin’s elasticity weakens, causing them to sag. Understanding these concerns can play a significant role in finding suitable anti-aging treatments.

Why Do Eyebrows Drop Down as We Age?

The loss of fatty tissue, bone collagen, and elastin is a natural part of the ageing process. Older skin doesn’t spring back like it does when you’re younger, and facial tissue begins to sag. 

This is particularly noticeable around the eyebrows. As the upper third of the face begins to drop down, lines and wrinkles form, and the drooping of the outer brow can give the impression of a sad facial expression. 

A non-surgical eyebrow lift restores lost volume and stimulates collagen production to help fight signs of ageing and restore your youthful glow.

Lift with dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are used in the area above the eyebrow, known as the temporal ridge area. Small amounts are injected causing a vector of lift to the tail end of the brow. The results are instant. Given the delicate area treated, a soft cannula is used to inject the dermal filler instead of a needle. A moderate but appreciable natural lift is achieved.

Recovery and after care

There is little to no downtime associated with this procedure. You should be able to return to work immediately, but you should avoid makeup and strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. You may experience some minor bruising and swelling for a few days after the procedure.
