As we age gravity causes the eyebrows (brow) to move downwards. We compensate for this by contracting the muscle which raises the eyebrows. Contraction of this muscle causes wrinkle lines across the forehead. Eventually the muscle relaxes and the eyebrows become lower. This typically makes you look slightly sad and tired. It can also increase the fold on the upper eyelid making it difficult to apply makeup.
Brow lift treatments are aimed at elevating the eyebrows. This widens the eyes and makes you look less tired. After surgery people are often asked if they have been on holiday as they look refreshed. The effects are subtle and most people will not be able to pinpoint the exact change in you but will notice that you look fresher.
The eyebrow in females should be gently arched with its’ highest point lying 2/3rds of the way out from the centre. In men the eyebrows are usually flatter and raising them is not usually appropriate as this can make them look slightly surprised.
Brow lifts can be performed with an operation. This procedure is normally carried out by keyhole surgery. Small incisions are made within the hairline and the tissue is gently separated allowing the eyebrows to rise. Most people recover quickly from the procedure and are back at work within 10 days.
More recently injection techniques have been used to lift the eyebrows. Selectively weakening the muscles which pull down the eyebrows will result in them rising. The muscles which pull down the inner part of the eyebrows cause frowning in the centre of the forehead. The muscles which pull down the outer part of the eyebrows cause the crows-feet smile lines which occur on the temple on the side of the eye.
Injections to weaken these muscles can be performed as an outpatient procedure at the Gatehouse Clinic in Northampton. Many people have the treatment during work breaks or at the end of the day. The effects are not immediate with most people noticing a gradual decrease in the frown and crows feet wrinkles a week following treatment. This effect last between 4-6 months and will need to be repeated. Usually after a 3 treatments in a year the muscles relax more permanently and the effect last for longer and longer.
It is important to remember that every bodies face is different and it is often worth having a consultation to assess which treatment is most suitable for you. This starts with a complementary skin analysis and discussion of the treatments available. The Gatehouse Clinic combines the experience of specialist Plastic Surgeons, Nurses and specially trained beauty therapist to ensue you receive the best possible treatment and advice.
