Eyebrows Suture lifting
As we age, our facial skin undergoes changes, notably the loss of collagen and resulting diminished elasticity, leading to the weakening of connective tissue beneath the skin. Additionally, prolonged use of neuromodulators in upper face treatments can contribute to early loosening, causing permanent chemical denervation of fascial muscles. Daily life factors such as caffeine, stress, eyestrain, and habitual rubbing of the eyes, whether due to allergies or other reasons, as well as certain medical conditions like eyebrow twitching, Bell’s palsy, or Tourette syndrome, further impact the positioning of eyebrow and eyelid skin. This can manifest as drooping eyebrows or hooding of eyelids.
The treatment options for these concerns vary based on the degree of eyebrow drooping and eyelid hooding. The preferred distance from the upper orbital rim to the eyebrow tail typically ranges from 1 to 1.5 cm, with the ideal eyebrow shape featuring a lateral apex slant. In male patients, considerations for a more subtle rise of the eyebrow tail are essential.
Recognizing the importance of aesthetic anatomy, thorough aesthetic assessment, and precise treatment planning is crucial in evaluating facial features. Factors such as patient selection, indications, and contraindications play a significant role in achieving successful outcomes.
At BMACS, cases of ptosis and asymmetry are addressed based on the required degree of correction.

For patients seeking a non-scarring and non-invasive solution, correction with sutures proves to be an optimal choice, offering long-lasting results without visible scarring, as puncture wounds are strategically used in the eyebrow region.
