Introduction

In general, a brow lift (brow lift surgery) can improve the shape and position of the eyebrows. The results typically last from 3 to 10 years, depending on the surgeon's skill and postoperative care. If the procedure is performed properly by a skilled doctor, the outcome will appear more natural. Additionally, with proper postoperative care—such as consistent sun protection and moisturization—the results can last between 3 and 10 years.

If performed properly by a skilled doctor, the outcome appears more natural. With proper postoperative care—such as good sun protection and consistent moisturizing—the results may last between 3 and 10 years. However, if the surgeon lacks experience or technical proficiency, or if postoperative care is inadequate—such as smoking or prolonged sun exposure—the longevity of results may be reduced to 1–3 years.

Which is more effective: eyebrow lifting or eyebrow incision?

Eyebrow lifting involves making an incision along the outer side of the eyebrow and lifting the upper eyelid skin, then suturing to tighten the skin. Eyebrow incision (brow-cutting) is a method that requires an incision above or below the eyebrow, removing some hair and skin tissue to reshape the brow. These two approaches cannot be directly compared; the appropriate method should be chosen based on individual circumstances. It is advisable to consult a doctor's opinion to make an informed decision and ensure optimal results.

Is it better to have a brow lift or a brow excision at age 50?

For individuals whose eyebrow shape, color, and texture are already good but experience drooping tail of the eyebrow due to aging, or wish to improve mild hooded eyelids or triangular eyes, eyebrow lifting surgery is generally recommended. For those with low-lying eyebrows, significant skin laxity, or who require eyebrow contour correction due to failed eyebrow tattooing or eyebrow defects, eyebrow incision surgery (eyebrow reduction) is more suitable.
