Is it normal to do an eyebrow lift where only the outer ends of the eyebrows are lifted for a nicer shape in the eyebrow?

Question

So I dont really have anything wrong with my eyebrows but I would like to have eyebrows shaped more like Jessica albas eyebrows. I have seen an eyebrow lift on celebrity Nancy Ajram that is exactly the shape that I would like. But when I Google eyebrow lifts it seems that usually the whole eyebrow is lifted. Is it normal to do eyebrow lifts where only the outer ends of the eyebrows are lifted for a nicer shaped eyebrow? If so how much would a procedure like this cost? Thanks in advance.

Augmenting the outside portion of the brow with fat grafts creates youthful fullness and impression of the lift. Addition of Botox may help. The exact procedure needs to be selected based on clinical analysis and desire of the patient.

A brow lift addressing only the outer brows is called a temporal lift.  The incisions are hidden inside the hairline so they are not visible.  It can be done in the office setting under local anesthesia which keeps the price down.

In youth, in women, the ideal eyebrow typically demonstrates an upward flare of the outer third of the eyebrow. With the passage of time, however, or in some cases on a genetic basis, the outer third is more horizontal (like that seen in men) or may even point downward. To elevate the outer third, a small amount of Botox (or other neuromodulator, such as Xeomin or Dysport) may be instilled at the tail of the eyebrow to relax the downwardly pulling muscle in the region. In addition, volume replacement above and below the outer third of the eyebrow can create enough deep support to recreate the more youthful slight projection of the brow below the outer third of the eyebrow itself and to supplement the Botox and to help "pull" the sagging portion upward. The latter procedure has sometimes been referred to as The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Browlift. The exact cost would depend upon such factors as whether a neuromodulator is needed and how much and which type of volumizing filler is required to get the job done.For more information on nonsurgical rejuvenation of the eyebrows, check out the archives of Realself.com and be sure to see a physician experienced in nonsurgical browlifts and don't forget to ask to see his/her befores and afters.

In spite of what you read, the usual brow lift raises the outer eyebrow. Except on rare occasions, the medial eyebrow should stay relatively stationary. If the medial brow is pulled down by the procures muscle, then the muscle needs to be resected to place the medial brow at its proper position. It is gravity and time that pulls the lateral brow down. Correction of a congenital or otherwise low lateral brow is done like that from aging. See a plastic surgeon with significant experience in facial rejuvenation.

Hi, without a photo of your face, there's no way to assess the eyebrow position.  Browlifts are indicated when the eyebrows are relatively low in position.  The brows are then elevated to a more aesthetically ideal position with the highest lift occurring laterally (to the outsides of the eyebrows).  Hope this helps.
