Part of the classic female face are eyebrows whose outer third arch upward and swing outward. To complete the ideal picture, there is also a slight, rounded projection of the fleshy areas directly beneath this region which both support the flare of the eyebroww above and lift the skin above the upper eyelids to give them youthful exposure.
With time (some people obviously much earlier than others), loss of volume (fatty tissue) in this region and the sinking of the areas directly above the upper lid and below the outer third of the eyebrow, leads to an unwanted downward turning of the outer eyebrows and in extreme case to a billowing of the redundant skin onto the upper lids.
A tiny droplet of Botox or Dysport placed directly under the outer one third of the eyebrows can relax the downward pull of the muscles in the region with the result that the eyebrows are freed to once again flare upward and outward. When this treatment alone proves not enough, a small amount of a filler substance, such as Restylane or Juvederm, instilled in an oval fashion within the fleshy skin immediately below the brows, can serve to both restore the youthful outward projection of this area and support the upward flare of the outer third of the eyebrow.
Frequently combined as one procedure, the entire treatment may take about five minutes per brow. The results are usually quite gratifying and most people can return to work or social activities immediately following treatment.
