“…Thus, facial rejuvenation has evolved in a less invasive direction. Many nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures including neurotoxins, fillers, lasers, and threads are being used for eyebrow rejuvenation and lifting as an alternative to brow lift surgery 3 . Among these methods, threads go one step ahead in brow lifting.…”
Background: Eyebrow region is a dynamic region, and it has a thinner skin prone to wrinkles and sagging. Descended brows could be repositioned immediately with fewer complications by the use of the threads. Despite all its advantages, the main drawback of absorbable thread lift is its short duration of lifting effect.Aims: This report aims to describe our thread lift technique we have implemented to counteract the descent of the brows and evaluate our results in 50 patients.Patients/Methods: A retrospective chart review was carried out over a period of 1 year from September 2019 to 2020 for the patients who underwent thread lifting for eyebrows in a private clinic in Ankara. Complications after the procedure, durability of the results, global esthetic improvement scale (GAIS) score, and patient satisfaction survey scores were recorded.
Results:The study group was composed of 50 female patients with a median age of 34 years. The median duration of the procedure is 15 months. Nine (18%) patients experienced complications related to the procedure including ecchymosis, edema, erythema, skin dimpling, and pain. Three weeks after the procedure, the position of the eyebrows of eight (16%) patients were improved, 18 (36%) patients were much improved, and 24 (48%) patients were very much improved according to GAIS.Conclusions: So far, the most disappointing feature of the threads was the poor longterm sustainability of the outcomes. Our thread lift technique for brows offers a significant improvement in the position of the eyebrows in a short time with decreased downtime. More importantly, it can be possible to improve the longevity of the results with this approach.

“…As a result, noninvasive and minimally invasive rejuvenation procedures have become increasingly popular over the past decade with advantages such as break‐time limitations, relatively greater esthetic recovery, and low risk of complications. Here, we review the various nonsurgical and minimally invasive techniques available to patients seeking eyebrow rejuvenation 45 …”
Background and Objectives
The coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19) pandemic, which began in 2019, is threatening millions of people around the world. Coronavirus, a severe acute respiratory syndrome, made it mandatory to wear masks, it was carried out through public awareness and review of changes in cosmetics.
Methods
This literature review paper was written by referring to keywords such as “Eyebrow,” “Permanent Make‐up,” “Microblading,” “Make‐up,” and “COVID‐19.” The study selected a total of 485 references using representative journal search sites such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, RISS, DBPia, and CrossRef, of which a total of 43 papers were selected at the final stage from 2000 to 2022 using PRISMA flow diagram.
Results
With the wearing of a mask due to COVID‐19, we are paying attention to the change in the makeup trend caused by the preference for easy eye makeup.
Conclusions
This narrative review understands that eyebrow makeup has a significant impact on human images due to changes in makeup methods after the COVID‐19 pandemic. It is expected to be used as important data for the rapidly growing semi‐permanent makeup market.
“…The current options to improve the eyebrow area are nonsurgical approaches, including toxins, lasers, microfocused ultrasound, threads, and fillers. 10 The use of botulinum toxin is a popular option; however, the standard guideline includes treating brow depressors while keeping the frontalis muscle free of injection in order to avoid eyebrow and eyelid dropping.…”
Background
Previous reports have objectively demonstrated the efficacy of botulinum toxin for brow elevation. No previous clinical trial has reported a combined approach of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection with hyaluronic acid (HA) injection in the upper face for the periorbital region beautification focusing on eyebrow reshaping.
Objectives
To evaluate the effect of IncobotulinumtoxinA injection using the ONE21 technique combined with HA injection (CPM technology) to redefine brow shape and position.
Methods
A prospective pilot study was designed to evaluate the effect of IncobotulinumtoxinA injection using the ONE21 technique – with a pre-stablished scheme of doses and injection site distribution – combined with HA injection (CPM technology) periosteally into the palpebro-malar groove and subdermally in the anterior temporal region, to redefine brow shape and position. Objective eyebrow measurements were taken by an independent investigator using the Merz Aesthetic Scale (MAS) for brow positioning. Patient satisfaction was also evaluated. Some patients were also assessed using the Vectra System.
Results
Eleven females, aged 29-55-years, were included in this prospective pilot study. The totality of patients (11/100%) had at least ≥ 1-point improvement in the MAS brow positioning. All patients (100%) reported significant aesthetic improvement of their periorbital region and appearance, being 82% of the patients much improved. Mild side effects were reported as ecchymosis and transient temporal edema were reported.
Conclusions
The combined technique improved appearance of the orbital area by uplifting the lateral eyebrow and creating an almond-shaped eye effect, which characterizes the trending marketing term Foxy eyes. Further studies including more cases are needed to obtain a statistically significant outcome.
