Raised eyebrows are a symbol of youth. They create the effect of a "fox's gaze", a little predatory, but very attractive. However, few people can boast of the natural shape of the eyebrows that we see in stars and models. Their shape and curve depend on genetics, and if nature has not rewarded them with raised eyebrows, cosmetology and plastic surgery come to the rescue. In this article, we will tell you which methods and procedures will help achieve the desired effect.
What is the shape of your eyebrows?
Eyebrows significantly affect a person's appearance. They can both emphasize the advantages and distract attention from the disadvantages, as well as visually "weigh down" the look and add years to their owner. Therefore, it is important to carefully choose the shape of the eyebrows according to the shape of your face and other nuances of your image.
What are the types of eyebrow curves?
Straight eyebrows grow mostly horizontally and without pronounced bending. They give the face a friendly and somewhat naive expression, making it more calm and relaxed. Such eyebrows are suitable for oval and oblong faces, as they visually shorten them.
Arched eyebrows also grow straight, but rise slightly towards the end.
This eyebrow shape adds softness to the facial features and makes the look more feminine. Curved eyebrows are great for square and rectangular faces, softening their angular lines and adding harmony.
Domed eyebrows are eyebrows with a steep curve in the middle that create an expressive and deep look. This shape looks great on round faces, visually adding length and emphasizing cheekbones.
Arched eyebrows have an elegant curve that gives the face a strict and sophisticated look. This is a suitable eyebrow shape for triangular or heart-shaped faces, balancing their proportions and focusing on the eyes.
Eyebrows also vary in thickness, hair structure, and even height. That's why, for the selection of a beautiful eyebrow shape for yourself, it is better to turn to a professional, for example, to the specialists of Olympus Clinics, who will be able to competently disassemble your appearance and recommend the best methods for correcting the shape of the eyebrows.
How to choose the right eyebrow shape?
Cosmetologists advise you to choose the shape of your eyebrows, which will emphasize your natural facial features. For example, slightly curved and raised eyebrows can visually lengthen a round face, as well as soften the features of a square face. But they are not suitable for everyone.
Fashion is changeable. Think back to the 1920s, when thin and elegant eyebrows were on trend. In the 1980s, on the contrary, there was an era of thick and wide eyebrows, like Brooke Shields, so everyone had to "grow" them again. Then again, the fashion for eyebrow threads. And so, today, moderately wide eyebrows are at the peak of popularity, as are raised eyebrows.
Despite the changing trends, it is important to take into account the features of the face and choose the shapes that suit you. Fashion is just a guideline, not a strict law. For example, curved eyebrows can further lengthen an already long face, depriving it of harmony and disturbing proportions. Owners of a heart-shaped or diamond-shaped face should also avoid too raised eyebrows, because they can visually expand the forehead and cheeks.
How to make a raised eyebrow shape?
If you decide to decorate your face with raised eyebrows, modern cosmetology is ready to offer you a variety of methods to realize your dreams. Yulia Radikovna Latypova, a cosmetologist and dermatovenerologist at Olympus Clinics, told in detail about the procedures.
What do cosmetologists offer?
Botulinum therapy
During the procedure, the cosmetologist injects botulinum toxin into the muscles of the forehead and around the eyes to temporarily relax the muscles. This allows you to lift the outer edge of the eyebrow, creating the effect of a "fox look". The result becomes noticeable very quickly and lasts from 3 to 6 months, while the procedure does not require special preparation and recovery.
Fillers
Fillers help to achieve the effect of raised eyebrows due to volumetric modeling. The doctor injects hyaluronic fillers into the temporal region to lift the tip of the eyebrow, creating a more open and youthful look. The result lasts from 1 to 2 years.
Thread lifting
During the procedure, the doctor inserts special threads under the skin that fix and tighten the tissues in a new position, lifting the outer edge and helping to change the shape of the eyebrows. The threads also stimulate the production of collagen, which improves the overall skin tone. The effect is noticeable immediately after the procedure, and the result can last from 6 months to 2 years.
What about more radical methods?
For those who dream of more expressive and long-lasting results, there are several surgical methods for creating raised eyebrows.
Braulifting
Browlifting, or eyebrow lift, helps to raise and fix the entire eyebrow line in a higher position. The surgeon makes incisions in the hairline, and then tightens the skin and tissues, creating the desired effect. The procedure also smoothes wrinkles on the forehead and in the area between the eyebrows. Recovery takes from 1 to 2 weeks, and the results can last up to 5 years.
Temporal lifting
Temporal lifting, or lifting of the temporal region, is working with the outer part of the eyebrows and temples, so the procedure is very effective for creating a "fox look". The surgeon makes small incisions in the temples to tighten the skin and soft tissues, lifting the outer edge of the eyebrow. Temporal lifting provides a natural rejuvenation effect. The results can last up to 5-7 years.
Endoscopic suspension of the upper third of the face
This is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at lifting the forehead and eyebrows. The doctor uses an endoscope, a thin instrument with a camera, to correct tissues through small incisions made behind the hairline. This allows you to raise your eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles without significant scars. The recovery period is from 1 to 2 weeks, and the effect can last up to 7-10 years.
We answer your questions
What is the difference between botulinum therapy and thread lifting?
Botulinum therapy relaxes the muscles around the eyes, allowing you to raise your eyebrows without surgery. And thread lifting is a mechanical skin lift, while the effect of it lasts for a longer time.
Is it possible to combine fillers and botox?
Yes, these procedures can be combined. Fillers add volume and contour, and botox helps to lift eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles.
What is the difference between braulifting and temporal lifting?
Braulifting raises the entire eyebrow line and smoothes the forehead, whereas temporal lifting focuses on the outer corners of the eyebrows and the temporal area.
Is it possible to change the shape of the eyebrows on your own, without the help of a cosmetologist?
Yes. For example, using makeup, you can visually correct and raise your eyebrows. Lamination can also help you, in which the hairs are fixed in a given shape and direction. But these methods are not able to create as expressive and lasting an effect as cosmetic and surgical procedures.
How effective are massage and self-massage?
They can temporarily improve the tone of the skin and muscles in the forehead and eyebrows, as well as slightly raise the eyebrows. However, the effect of massage is usually temporary and not so noticeable, so massage can serve as an additional means to maintain the condition of the skin and muscles.
