The position of eyebrows and eyebrow arch has a huge impact on the overall facial expression. As I get older, the skin on my forehead and eyebrows gradually loosens, my eyebrows are drooping, my upper eyelids are stacked, and my eyes look tired and even serious.
At this time, many people will choose to brow lift to improve facial expressions, make the eyes wider and the spirit more energetic. So, how long does a browser lift last?
This article will analyze it in detail for you from different eyebrow lifting methods, effect maintenance time, influencing factors, postoperative care and suitable populations.
What is eyebrow lift
Brow Lift is a medical beauty or surgical method that improves sagging eyebrows, raises the eyebrow arch, and smooths the forehead wrinkles. Its purpose is not only to make the eyebrows higher, but also to improve forehead lines, brighten the eyes, relieve the sagging of the upper eyelids, and make the overall face look younger. Depending on the size of the trauma and maintenance time, eyebrow lift can be divided into the following types:
Surgical eyebrow lift
Surgical eyebrow lift is currently the most thorough and longest-lasting method to improve eyebrow sagging. It is suitable for people with severe eyebrow sagging and loose upper eyelids. Common ways include:
Endoscope eyebrow lift: Through a small incision on the forehead hairline, the endoscopic instrument is used to operate subcutaneously, and the frontal muscle and eyebrow arch tissue are lifted and fixed as a whole, leaving almost no obvious scars, and the effect is natural after recovery.
Traditional open incision eyebrow lifting: Make a longer incision in the hairline or scalp to remove excess skin and suspend the frontal muscles. It is suitable for people with obvious loose forehead skin, and the lifting effect is significant and long-lasting.
Direct eyebrow cutting/eye lifting technique: Remove excess skin directly from the upper edge of the eyebrow, and lift the eyebrow position by suturing, the trauma is relatively controllable, suitable for people with drooping eyebrows but not loose forehead skin.
The advantage of surgical eyebrow lift is that it can take effect in one go, maintain it for 5-10 years, or even longer; the disadvantage is that the trauma is relatively large, requiring a 1-2 week recovery period, and may leave slight incision scars, but it can usually be hidden in the hairline or edge of the eyebrows.
Minimally invasive eyebrow lift
Minimally invasive eyebrow lift is between surgery and injection, with little trauma and quick recovery. It is very suitable for people who do not want to undergo major surgery but want to improve mild and moderate sagging of the eyebrow. The main methods include:
Thread lift: Buried absorbable thread with barbs through small pinholes in the skin, and use the mechanical lifting of the thread and the collagen regeneration effect to lift the eyebrows and forehead skin. The effect is natural and the recovery period is short. Usually, swelling can be reduced in 3-5 days.
The advantages of minimally invasive eyebrow lift are that it has little trauma, almost no obvious scars, and a short postoperative recovery period, which is suitable for people who are busy with work and cannot rest for too long.
The disadvantage is that the effect maintenance time is shorter than that of the surgery, and generally requires maintenance or repeated operations for 6-18 months.
Injectable eyebrow lift
Injectable eyebrow lift is the gentlest and least traumatic way to rejuvenate the eyebrows, suitable for people with mild sagging eyebrows or need temporary improvement. Common methods are:
Botox enhancement: By precise injection relaxing the lower part of the forehead muscle, it reduces the downward traction of the eyebrows, allowing the end of the eyebrows to rise naturally, and also smooths the dynamic lines on the forehead.
Hyaluronic acid filling: Inject hyaluronic acid into the temples and eyebrow arch to increase local support and visually raise the eyebrow position to make the eyes more energetic.
Maintenance time for different eyebrow lifting methods
1. Surgical eyebrow lift
Maintenance time: about 5-10 years, some people can even last longer.
Cause: The surgery directly solves the sag problem by removing excess skin, suspending the frontal muscle and fascia, so the effect is the most lasting.
Suitable for people: people with severe sagging eyebrows, obvious sagging forehead skin, and want long-term effects.
Recovery period: About 1-2 weeks, the swelling will be effective after the decline.
2. Minimally invasive eyebrow lift
Maintenance time: around 6-18 months, depending on the type of thread used and personal metabolism.
Advantages: No large incision is required, the trauma is small, and the recovery is fast. Generally, swelling can be reduced in 3-5 days.
Suitable for people: people with mild and moderate eyebrow sagging and want to try temporary improvement.
Note: Regular maintenance is required, and the effect will gradually weaken as the thread absorbs.
3. Injectable eyebrow lift
Maintenance time: Botox is about 3-6 months, and hyaluronic acid is about 6-12 months.
Advantages: Easy to operate, almost no recovery period, quick results.
Suitable for people: people with mild eyebrow sagging and want to try non-surgical improvement.
Deficiencies: The maintenance time is short, and it needs to be refilled regularly, and the increase is limited.
Key factors affecting the maintenance time
Even if the same eyebrow lift method is selected, the maintenance effect of different people will be different, mainly affected by the following factors:
Age and skin status: People with young and good skin elasticity last longer; people with severe skin sagging will lose faster results.
Living habits: Staying up late, smoking, and excessive sun exposure will accelerate collagen loss and shorten the effect maintenance time.
Postoperative care: Good postoperative care and sun protection can delay sagging and recurrence.
Doctor's technical level: Professional doctors can accurately design and improve angle and suspension strength, making the effect more natural and lasting.
Individual metabolic differences: The speed of thread absorption and hyaluronic acid metabolism vary from person to person, resulting in different effect time.
How to extend the eyebrow lift effect
In order to make the eyebrow lifting effect last longer, you can start from the following aspects:
Strict sun protection: UV rays are the biggest enemy of skin aging, and sun protection can protect collagen from being damaged.
Regular maintenance: Linear erection or injection-type eyebrow lift can be done regularly to maintain an ideal state.
Healthy life: Ensure adequate sleep, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and eat a balanced diet to make your skin healthier.
In conjunction with other treatments: RF tightening, ultrasonic knife, etc. can stimulate collagen rebirth, and can extend the effect when used with eyebrow lift.
Daily facial exercise: Appropriately exercise the muscles on the forehead and around the eyes to enhance skin support.
