What is brow lift?

Brow lift, is the name we give to the surgical procedure to restore our drooping and falling eyebrows and upper eyelids to their former place over the years.

How many types of brow lifts are there?

You may be wondering how suspension or raising your eyebrows is possible. Let me tell you that we know that our eyebrows are slightly raised as a side effect of the Botox procedure.

brow lift with rope suspensions is also one of the non-surgical brow lift procedures. It is helpful to know that the impact of these procedures is short-lived, and the extent of eyebrow elevation is limited. So, they are not as effective as surgical brow lift.

I would like to tell you about endoscopic brow lift, where we suspend the eyebrows endoscopically, that is, with the help of a camera, and its effect lasts for years.

In Whom Is The Endoscopic brow lift Used?

The effects of time are most visible in our facial region. Especially if you look at your photos taken at different times, you can better understand what I mean.

With aging, genetic factors, loss of volume around our eyes, gravity, and sometimes the effects of a stressful lifestyle, eyebrows begin to drop slightly.

With the downward shift of the eyebrow, excess tissue accumulates around the eyes, especially on the upper eyelid, and your eyelid droops, along with your drooping eyebrow.

When all this comes together , our face looks tired and older than their age. People around us talk about constant tiredness in our faces; the answer is hidden around our eyebrows and eyes.

Can you do an brow lift alone?

Technically, brow lift can be done alone, but consider that aging is not a condition that affects only one organ. Our eyelids often accompany drooping eyebrows, so we usually perform eyebrow lift surgery along with upper eyelid aesthetics.

brow lift, but when?

When I schedule this surgery in the eye area only, I prefer my patients' ages range from young to middle-aged.

This is because most patients in the young generation have not had enough aging in the other parts of their faces. I perform endoscopic brow lift and a face and neck lift if my patient is in the advanced age group.

Where and how much may the eyebrow be lifted?

Perhaps the biggest shortcoming in this matter is the correct eyebrow position and height in my clients and colleagues due to the different information (lack of knowledge or misconceptions).

Women Eyebrow Height

I want to tell you about a ratio, the number 1.618.., found by an old mathematician named Fibonacci, which you get every time you divide two consecutive numbers in the number sequence he found. You know this number as the golden ratio. This ratio in repeating patterns seems harmonious to us.

Let us see what this ratio means for the height of the female eyebrow.

The ratio of the length of a woman's eyebrow to the critical line, to the distance between her lower and upper lashes when she looks forward, is this golden ratio. In case we achieve this ratio, your eye area looks feminine, young, and vibrant. Again, the ratio of the first 2/3 part of your brow arch, where it tends up, to the last 1/3 part, where it tends down, should also be the golden ratio.

You see, this repeating pattern, which always looks aesthetic and harmonious to us in nature, tells us what the height of our eyebrows and refractive areas should be.

Male Eyebrow Height

And this is where the story gets rearranged. In male eyebrows, this ratio is still the same. Still, in reverse, the ratio of the distance between the lower and upper lash line to the lash line of the eyebrow is 1.618. Because this looks aesthetically low in the male eyebrow.

How high should the eyebrow NOT be?

Now you know the answer. Our eyebrows should not reach the forehead like MR.SPOCK from the movie STAR TREK and the eyebrow arches should not be extended to make you look confused rather than sexy. Your eyebrows should not lead to a feminine result if you are a man.

You see, the natural patterns and proportions that nature has created for us and for ourselves are our best guides that will make you look more feminine if you are a woman and more masculine if you are a man.

Continue to follow nature...

What Is The Procedure Before The Surgery?

First of all, there are preparations before the surgery. My clinic will guide you by giving you all the instructions on this subject.

You should stop taking aspirin, which had a blood-thinning effect , painkillers or herbal products with blood-thinning properties a week ago.

You should definitely not smoke or drink alcohol one week before the surgery.

How Does The Operation Proceed?

With the help of a special camera, small incisions are made in the scalp and released using a unique technique over the frontal bone and the temporal muscle.

After certain symmetry and distance checks, this eyebrow tissue hanging on fixed points is adjusted to its new place. At this point, I want to mention that the stitches hanging your eyebrows work only the first week. After that, our own tissue has adapted to the new place, so the result will stick for years (I wanted to write this as a note for those who want to hang the eyebrow rope so that such applications are not made with such a technique).

So protect your eyebrow, the connection, as you are in your young state.

As I explained above, I perform endoscopic brow lift surgery to hang the eyebrows and stretch the upper eyelid and face. But only the eyebrows are low, but the surgery can be done alone for people who do not have enough droop on the eyelids.

What Happens After The Surgery?

After the surgery, we will admit you to the hospital for one night. There may be small swelling, edema around your eyes. The application of ice helps to reduce this edema and swelling more quickly. You will continue ice application for 2-3 days following your surgery.

I will remove the stitches in the scalp and upper eyelid area one week later, and you, with the attention of course, will return to your social life.

How long does it last?

You can use the effectiveness of this procedure for years. But there is one thing you should not forget: In the coming years, there may be a slight relaxation as we get older.

Will It Leave A Scar?

Endoscopic brow lift is performed with incisions through the scalp. Since the incisions are made in the scalp, there are no scars in this regard. In this respect, it is a surgery that I recommend and love to do.

Last message for the reader

In this article, in which I explain how and when for whom brow lift surgery is appropriate, the most important part should be based on specific mathematical proportions. Saying "the more suspension the better" leads us to unnatural results that we never want, whether male or female.
