Looking Older Than You Feel? Your Brow Might Be the Culprit
As we age, subtle changes in our facial features can make us appear older than we feel. One of the most noticeable areas affected is the brow. Drooping or low-positioned brows can create a tired, sad, or angry expression, even when you're feeling energetic and vibrant. Fortunately, there are effective solutions to restore a youthful and refreshed appearance. Learn more at Dr. Flora Levin's blog.
Understanding the Brow's Impact on Your Appearance
The position and shape of your brows play a significant role in framing your face and conveying emotions. As we age, the brow's tail often drops, contributing to hooded skin in the outer portion of the eyelid. This can make the eyes appear smaller and give an aged or tired look.

Surgical Brow Lift: A Permanent Solution
For those with more significant brow sagging, a surgical brow lift offers a lasting solution. Dr. Flora Levin, a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, specializes in endoscopic brow lifts. This technique involves small incisions hidden behind the hairline, allowing for precise repositioning of the brow to restore a natural, youthful contour. Recovery time is typically 1-2 weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days.
Non-Surgical Brow Lift with Botox
For individuals seeking a less invasive option, Botox injections can provide a temporary lift to the brow area. By targeting specific muscles that depress the brows, Botox can create a subtle lift and smoother appearance. This approach is ideal for those with mild brow drooping and minimal downtime. Results typically last for several months and can be maintained with periodic treatments.
Choosing the Right Approach for You
Determining the best treatment for your brow concerns depends on various factors, including the degree of sagging, skin elasticity, and personal preferences. Dr. Levin offers personalized consultations to assess your unique anatomy and discuss the most suitable options to achieve your desired results. Find out if you're a candidate.
