Eyebrow Lift

Eyebrow lift and forehead lift

Normally, there are transverse lines on the forehead that vary in depth from person to person. These lines become vertical between the eyebrows. The forehead skin as well as the facial skin, loosen and droop and existing lines deepen with the progression of age. The eyebrows fall down, sag and a tired-looking expression appears in the person’s face. Poor nutrition, smoking, irregular lifestyle, stress, air pollution, inadequate or no skin care, gravity effect and mimics facilitate this aesthetically uncomfortable result.

Who is the ideal candidate for eyebrow lift?

Eyebrow lifting is usually applied to male and female patients over 40 years of age who have no other health problems. Forehead stretching reduces the lines on the forehead. The eyebrows sagging towards the eye are raised and brought to where they should be and the person is provided a vivid look. If there is excessive sagging and the skin removal is required, then the classic forehead stretching method is applied.

Why do eyebrows sag?

With the effects of aging over time, loosening in tissues and muscles that cannot resist gravity occur. The loss of tightness of tissues and muscles reduces tension in the eyebrow region, causing sags.

Factors such as unhealthy diet, smoking, irregular lifestyle and stress also increase this negative effect of aging and gravity.
