You have surely stood in front of the mirror and tried to lift your eyebrows with your fingertips. Am I right? If you have never done this, I have news for you: after reading this text, it will be the first thing you do when you see your reflection! The question—sometimes asked out loud, sometimes only in your head—is always the same: would it look better this way?
In those moments, you remember the photos you have seen in magazines, the stunning women with their captivating gazes and the men with their striking looks. And the question comes back: would it look good on me? And it is precisely on this point that I can give you some important tips.
Typically female eyebrows, which give a more feminine look, have the tail positioned slightly higher than the body and head of the brow. In the androgynous, more masculine look, on the other hand, we find straight eyebrows. That is why, whenever we operate on women, we seek a characteristically feminine result, with the outer corner of the eyes higher than the inner corner. The surgery indicated to raise the tail of the eyebrows is the Eyebrow “Lift,” or Eyebrow Elevation.
However, before the surgical procedure, there is a fundamental step to take: choosing the right shape for your face.
Basically, there are three recommended shapes for female eyebrows: natural, seagull wings and fox eyes. And here it must be stressed that not every shape suits every face. That is why the tests and analyses carried out in the office are essential for anyone who wants to achieve a good result. Now, on to the options.
In the completely natural shape, we keep the contour the patient already has and just lift the tail a little. Although subtle, this change results in a younger, more striking look.
The second option is the one we have dubbed seagull wings, in which the high point becomes more defined and the tail slightly straighter and higher.
The third shape, indicated only for certain face types, is the famous fox eyes, which gained notoriety after being showcased by several celebrities. It is a more aggressive change, with a markedly raised tail and a considerably more striking look. As the name suggests, the shape is reminiscent of a fox’s eyes.
And how do you find the best shape? The first step is the analysis carried out in the office. In it, besides the tests and the presentation of possible changes, we make a point of listening to patients and learning what their expectations and main concerns are.
We know, for example, that younger women usually seek a more aggressive change. Patients over 40 or 45, on the other hand, come to us only to restore the structure of their eyebrows, simply seeking to rejuvenate the eye area while avoiding major changes to their features. Patients in this age group tend to fear changes, not recognizing themselves in the mirror, or even disapproval of these changes from their family members.
That is why we make a point of following every step calmly and with great attention to detail. Aligning expectations and bringing them as close to reality as possible is the best path to satisfaction with the final result.
