Dropping Eyebrows

Do you have drooping eyebrows? This often gives you a tired look. You can also look cranky when your eyebrows hang down a little. It can even cause medical complaints. Drooping eyebrows, for example, can cause a limited field of vision in the worst case. This often happens when you get older. As you get older, the eyebrows start to hang more, and this causes them to press on your eyelids. An eyebrow lift with a muscle relaxant or fillers can help in this case. It creates a more open, fresh look. In addition, you will look younger after this treatment. In many cases, it is therefore worth considering treatment of drooping eyebrows.

Before deciding whether you qualify for an eyebrow lift with a muscle relaxant or fillers, a consultation will take place. In advance, you will receive a digital questionnaire with some medical questions. You need to fill these out at home and send them to us. The plastic surgeon can then discuss the results with you during the consultation. If the questionnaire does not reveal any obstacles to the treatment of your drooping eyebrows, the treatment will be discussed. The plastic surgeon will explain exactly what the procedure entails, but will also tell you more about the intended result, the possible risks and the aftercare. After this conversation, are you sure you want to have your drooping eyebrows lifted with a muscle relaxant or fillers? Then the plastic surgeon will ask you to digitally sign a treatment agreement. Then the plastic surgeon will take pictures of your drooping eyebrows. These photos will later be compared with photos taken after the treatment. This way, the plastic surgeon can see whether the eyebrow lift is successful.

At Betan Clinics, you can lift your drooping eyebrows without surgery. This ensures that there is much less chance of complications and that you also have less time to recover after the treatment. Various treatments are possible. Firstly, you can opt for the eyebrow lift with a muscle relaxant. At Betan Clinics, you can count on the plastic surgeon to only use muscle relaxants from reliable manufacturers. The product is injected with a fine needle above the drooping eyebrows and into the forehead. The plastic surgeon will also inject your frown. In this way, your drooping eyebrows are lifted a few millimetres. The treatment will take an average of 10 to 15 minutes in total. There is also an option to treat drooping eyebrows with fillers. At Betan Clinics, this is possible with fillers consisting of hyaluronic acid or calcium phosphate. Calcium phosphate is a substance that contributes to the formation of the body’s own collagen. Collagen ensures firmer skin. By injecting these fillers, more volume is created in the skin. You can also choose fillers with hyaluronic acid. This substance occurs naturally in your body and ensures that your skin remains supple. As you get older, the amount of hyaluronic acid decreases. This results in wrinkles and fine lines. Fillers allow you to replenish this deficiency and the skin looks more vital. Both types of fillers are injected under the drooping eyebrows and in the forehead. This way, you can lift drooping eyebrows without surgery.

After treatment with a muscle relaxant or fillers, the skin around your eyebrows will be temporarily red and perhaps slightly swollen. This will often disappear the same day. With fillers, it sometimes also happens that a bruise occurs. This will disappear after a few days. If all went well, you will see immediate results after the treatment with Radiesse or hyaluronic acid. In a treatment with a muscle relaxant, this result will often take a few days to really show. Usually, the result is optimal after about 2 weeks. You can then come for a checkup appointment where the plastic surgeon checks whether everything looks good.

If drooping eyebrows are lifted with a filler, you will see immediate results after the treatment. You have a more open and young look, and your field of vision is enlarged. On average, this result will last another 12 to 18 months. After treatment with a muscle relaxant, you have to wait a few days until you see the result. Then the result will stay for 3 to 4 months. After this time, the muscle relaxant is completely broken down by your body. After that, you can come back for a re-application. With repeated use of a muscle relaxant, the result will last longer.
