Eyebrow ptosis, or eyebrow sagging, refers to the drooping or sagging of the eyebrows. This can happen mostly due to age, as the forehead muscles become weaker with time. Hence, this leads to the aging and sagging of eyebrows. In some people, this condition is also genetic, and they may naturally have droopy eyebrows. Ultimately, saggy eyebrows can give our face a permanently tired or angry look. Continue reading to learn which procedures can help with eyebrow sagging correction.
👁️ How Sagging Brows Impact Facial Aesthetics
- Sagging eyebrows can make one look aged and a lot older than they are.
- They can make one appear sleepy and exhausted.
- Droopy brows can diminish the arch in the eyebrows, making them appear flat and negatively impacting one’s facial aesthetics.
- They can also make one’s eyes more hooded, causing the eyes to look smaller.
- In severe cases, it can weigh down the lids and obstruct vision as well.
- All these can have a negative psychological impact, weakening one’s self-esteem.
⚕️ Common Causes of Eyebrow Drooping
Here are some of the most common causes of a droopy eyebrow:
Natural aging and skin laxity
The muscles in our eyebrows and forehead lose elasticity, and the skin’s collagen diminishes with age. This becomes one of the main causes of droopy eyebrows. Sun damage can further speed up the aging process of the skin.
Repetitive facial expressions
Some of us are very expressive with our faces. We either always frown or keep our eyebrows raised when we talk. These repeated facial expressions can weaken the muscles, cause frown lines, and even stretch the skin, which can make the eyebrows droop.
Genetics and bone structure
For some of us, genetics plays a huge role. Brow ptosis can be hereditary, which means one can be born with this condition. Furthermore, aging can also cause changes to our bone structure. The brow bone begins to recede, causing a loss of support to the muscles, leading to saggy eyebrows.
Previous upper eyelid surgeries
A Blepharoplasty or upper eyelid surgery may cause brow ptosis if excess fat or skin is eliminated, pulling the brows lower. In addition, if the muscle supporting the brows gets any damage during the procedure, this can also make the brows descend.
👁️✨ When Is a Brow Lift the Right Option?
If you have moderate to severe eyebrow sagging and are wondering about how to fix your droopy eyebrows, an eyebrow lift surgery is an effective treatment. It will provide the necessary support to the eyebrows, keeping them lifted and making one look energized and awake.
The ideal candidate for a surgical brow lift is someone who is healthy, has realistic expectations of the surgical outcomes, and has the issue of droop eyebrows.
Difference between surgical and non-surgical lifts
The surgical brow lift is a cosmetic procedure where surgery is used to give lift to the eyebrows and to help with hooded eyes. Anesthesia is used during this procedure, and the incision is made within the hairline to better conceal it. The surgeon then adjusts the tissue, muscle, etc, to give the brows a lift and removes excess skin. Next, the surgeon adjusts the skin and closes the incision.
There may be some swelling and bruising initially, but all this slowly subsides as weeks pass.
On the other hand, the non-surgical brow lifts offer the same lifting and rejuvenation to the eyebrows but without surgery. Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are used to treat droopy brows. A surgical brow lift is meant to last forever, but age can definitely affect its longevity. A non-surgical brow lift, however, can last up to 18 months.
🩺 Eyebrow Lift Turkey: Brow Lift Surgery Explained
There are three types of brow lift techniques including the endoscopic, coronal, and temporal brow lift techniques. Below, we explain each one:
Endoscopic brow lift
This technique uses endoscopes, and the incision for it is tiny and placed on the scalp. It has very little scarring and gives the most natural results.
Coronal brow lift
The incision for the coronal brow lift goes from one ear to another, resembling a headband, and is concealed in the hairline of the patient. Furthermore, the surgeon then manipulates the tissue under the skin to smooth the forehead and lift the eyebrows.
Temporal (lateral) brow lift
The Temporal brow lift targets the outer part of the eyebrows, which is near the temples. Hence why it’s called the Temporal brow lift. The incisions for this procedure are also made in the hairline. Then the surgeon smoothens the wrinkle and tightens the muscles to give some lift to the brows.
The healing time for these brow lifts is about 2 weeks, when the patient can expect the majority of the swelling and bruising to subside. After the first 2 weeks, the patient can return to their routine activities, but it is still advised to avoid doing anything too strenuous.
