Low eyebrows may occur with age

The height of the eyebrows, which add meaning to facial expression, decreases with age and low eyebrows may occur. “Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery specialist Prof. Dr. Fatih Doğan said, “Eyebrow rejuvenation can be performed surgically against the problem of low eyebrows. For eyebrow shaping, eyebrow make-up, permanent or temporary tattoos with tatuage, eyebrow transplantation or eyebrow wigs can be used.”

Eyebrows are of great importance in expressing emotional state and social communication. Stating that eyebrows are very important in terms of the balance of the face, Medicana Ataşehir Hospital Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Prof. Dr. Fatih Doğan; He stated that the eyebrows create a complete balance by surrounding the facial line, so that when the shape of the eyebrow changes or when it becomes low with age, the balance of the face is disrupted.

People who frown too much may have a fall

Prof. Dr. Fatih Doğan explained the goals for the ideal eyebrow shape and position to achieve consistent surgical results in eyebrow rejuvenation procedures: “In the literature, the characteristics of the ideal eyebrow are defined as follows; the line where the top of the eyebrow ends above the eyebrow should be on the edge line of the eye, and the middle and side ends of the eyebrow should be at the same horizontal level. In a survey of plastic surgeons about eyebrow height and shape, it was reported that a brow shape with a brow peak in the middle of the upper orbital bone and a lateral slope was considered more beautiful. In women, the eyebrows are higher and have a more arched shape with the highest point at the level of the outer edge line of the eyelids, while in men, the eyebrows are lower and less arched.”

Emphasizing that eyebrow height decreases with age, Prof. Dr. Fatih Doğan said, “The amount of eyebrow ptosis (low eyebrow) that occurs with advancing age depends on genetic inheritance, smoking history, sunlight exposure, skin thickness, skin fat content and color. Patients' personal facial movement patterns also lead to low eyebrows, and those who frequently squint their eyelids may have a drop in the outer part of the eyebrow, while those who frown too much may have a drop in the inner part.”


“There is a one-to-one relationship between eyebrow shape and face shape. Eyebrow shaping procedures should be done according to the shape of the face,” said Prof. Dr. Doğan and gave information about eyebrow shaping methods: “Eyebrow make-up, permanent or temporary tattoos with tatuage, eyebrow transplantation or eyebrow wigs can be used for shaping. Problems due to falling eyebrows that occur with age can be surgically corrected. For beautiful and flashy eyebrows, procedures that will balance the face shape should be performed.”


Prof. Dr. Fatih Doğan explained the eyebrow aesthetic procedures suitable for face shapes as follows:

“For people with an oval face shape, an eyebrow shape with shallow arches, soft angles and normal length is suitable.”

“In order to make the face of a woman with a round face look longer; eyebrows with medium to high arch height, hard or soft angled arch shape will be suitable. Round eyebrows should be the last option for people with a round face.”

“On a square face, full and thick eyebrows with an angled arch soften the angles of the face by drawing attention from the chin to the eyes. A soft angled belt can help soften the jawline, but a hard angled belt with a low belt height will also look better. A round belt will look unnatural and emphasize the jawline, so it is not suitable.”

“On heart-shaped faces, full and very arched eyebrows draw attention to the forehead. Soft eyebrows with a low to medium arch height and a curved or soft arch shape are ideal for this face shape.”

“On a pear-shaped face, the eyebrows should have a medium arch height and long tails to create width on the forehead.”

“On a rectangular face, the eyebrows should have long tails to create width to balance the length of the face. A shallow arch height can also make the face appear shorter.”
