Question

I am 47 years old. Busy, active, healthy lifestyle. Would like to look as youthful as possible - would a brow lift help me look younger than my age? I recently got Jueveau for “11s” and to help lift the tails of my brows a touch. Open to surgery, but also interested in effective alternatives to surgery if they will achieve desired results. Or are my brows (etc) good where there are? Thank you for your time. I really appreciate the professional feedback. : )

Hi OmManiPadmeHum,

Without seeing more of your face, i'd say that you may want to consider a fractional laser to even your facial skin texture.  Browlifts are a consideration, but I don't feel that they would make much difference in the quest for looking younger.  A lift could help soften your appearance, however.  Your brows are straight which tend to be associated as being masculine.  An arched brow will change the way you appear.

Not really rejuvenation, but certainly changing how you look.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Hugo

To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The best approach for you would be to do a limited outer brow suspension. A board certified plastic surgeon can do an accurate diagnosis on the relationship of your eyelid and eyebrows. It is extremely important to apply the correct aesthetic proportions to the upper part of the face to get the best aesthetic outcome. We use the Naturabrow ™️ procedure which uses a small incision to reposition the brow in a minimally invasive way. This is done in a simple one hour outpatient procedure with minimally noticeable scars based on our experience with this technique in the past 10 years.

Many would say that your brows look just fine right now. If, however, you still would like an additional lift to further achieve the most desirable, feminine, upward and outward flare of the outer third of the eyebrows, then the addition of a filler would be the next nonsurgical step. This is a common treatment in the hands of an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and typically takes no more than five minutes to perform. Make sure to ask to see your physician's personal B&As before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

Based on the one limited photograph, he do not appear to need a brow lift. You'd probably end up looking too surprised. A brow lift procedure is only performed on patients with very low eyebrows
