Botox eyebrow lift (Brow Lift) - natural lift without surgery

An eyebrow lift with botulinum is one of the most elegant methods of modern aesthetic medicine. While a surgical forehead lift involves a surgical procedure with associated risks, scars and a longer healing time, the Botox brow lift a gentle alternative without scars and with immediate socialising potential. The treatment is perfect for anyone who wants to lift their eyebrows and wants a natural look without surgical stitches.

The philosophy of Medical Nova is based on the conviction that true beauty comes from the balance of body and soul. This holistic approach is also reflected in our approach to eyebrow lifting. We understand that every Unique eyebrow shape and therefore carefully analyse your individual facial expressions before each treatment. This detailed preliminary analysis is the only way we can create a customised treatment plan that leads to harmonious and natural results - without the scars or stitches associated with surgical procedures.

In recent years, the modern eyebrow lift has become one of the most most popular aesthetic treatments developed. People who work a lot at the computer or frequently squint their eyes benefit in particular from the relaxing effect on the eye muscles. The method offers a Scientifically sound solution for tired-looking eyes without losing their natural appearance.

What is a Botox brow lift?

The Botox eyebrow lift is a minimally invasive method for lifting sunken or asymmetrical eyebrows. This treatment is based on the targeted relaxation of certain muscle groups around the eye area. These muscles - in particular the corrugator supercilii muscle and parts of the orbicularis oculi muscle - normally pull the brows downwards and create the characteristic "tired look". In contrast to a thread lift, which mechanical threads under the skin, the Botox eyebrow lift works purely on a muscular level.

Precise injections of botulinum toxin relax these specific muscle groups, while the muscles responsible for lifting the brows remain active. This creates a Natural balancewhich leads to a gentle lifting of the eyebrows. The treatment requires a deep understanding of facial anatomy and years of experience to achieve optimal results.

The method differs fundamentally from a surgical procedure. Eyelid lift or forehead lift. While surgical procedures remove excess skin and tighten tissue, the Botox lifting exclusively with the natural muscles. The result is a gentle, natural lifting of the brows without any visible marks on the face. In addition, there is no healing time at all - a decisive advantage for working people.

At Medical Nova in Bülach we combine Over 15 years of international experience in ophthalmology with the latest techniques in aesthetic medicine. This unique combination enables us to treat the fine anatomical structures around the eye with particular precision while ensuring the highest safety standards.

Who is an eyebrow lift suitable for?

A Botox brow lift is suitable for a Broad patient groupThe individual analysis during the consultation is crucial. The ideal candidates are people who are suffering from the first signs of facial ageing but are not yet ready for a surgical procedure. Patients between the ages of 30 and 60 who want a natural refreshment of their look are particularly likely to visit us.

• Slightly sunken or asymmetrical eyebrows due to natural ageing processes
• "Tired look" despite sufficient sleep and a restful night's sleep
• Desire for non-surgical refreshing of the facial expression
• First signs of ageing in the upper third of the face
• Genetically low eyebrows
• Dissatisfaction with the natural brow shape or position

In particular, people who work a lot on the computer or are exposed to frequent stress often develop a Tense facial expressionwhich leads to a lowering of the brows. The eyebrow lift can not only bring about aesthetic improvements here, but also contribute to a more relaxed facial expression and thus to an increased sense of well-being.

The treatment is particularly effective in patients between the ages of 25 and 55 whose skin is still Sufficient elasticity has. The best and most natural results can be achieved in this age range. However, older patients can also benefit from the treatment, especially in combination with other procedures such as Hyaluronic acid-fillers or Mesotherapyto achieve even more comprehensive rejuvenation effects.

In addition, the eyebrow lift is also suitable as a Preventive measure for younger patients who want to prevent sagging brows. This prophylactic application can help prevent deep wrinkles from forming in the first place and keep the skin looking youthful for longer.

Treatment procedure at Medical Nova

The treatment of an eyebrow lift at Medical Nova follows a structured, multi-stage processwhich guarantees the highest quality standards and optimum safety. Our approach is based on years of experience in ophthalmological surgery and aesthetic medicine, which enables us to achieve particularly precise and gentle results.

Step 1: Detailed consultation and precise analysis

Every eyebrow lift treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, which typically 30 to 45 minutes takes. Dr Tukezban Huseynova and her team not only analyse the current position of your eyebrows, but also your individual facial expressions, facial proportions and personal wishes. High-resolution photos are taken from various angles to document the initial state and determine the optimum injection points.

During this analysis phase, we also discuss possible risks, realistic expectations and aftercare. We will clarify whether a local anaesthetic is required - although this is not usually necessary, as the injections are carried out with very fine needles and are only minimally noticeable. If you are nevertheless sensitive, we can use a gentle anaesthetic. Apply anaesthetic cream. This low-pain treatment method is a major advantage over surgical procedures with stitches or thread lifting techniques, which often require a more extensive anaesthetic.

Step 2: Professional preparation and hygiene

After the consultation, the face is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. All make-up, especially in the eye area, must be removed in order to avoid Sterile working environment to ensure the best possible results. The injection sites are precisely marked, using the previously prepared treatment plan as a guide. This careful preparation is crucial for the precision of the subsequent treatment.

Step 3: Precise treatment with state-of-the-art technology

The actual treatment only takes a few minutes, but requires Maximum concentration and precision. Using a very fine needle, the Botox injected at the previously marked points. The dosage is customised - a decisive factor for natural-looking results. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinprick that passes quickly.

Thanks to our ophthalmological expertise, we can Particularly precise because we know the anatomical structures around the eye down to the last detail. This minimises the risk of side effects and maximises the effectiveness of the treatment.

Step 4: Immediate socialising and aftercare

After the treatment you are immediately socially acceptable again and you can continue with your normal daily routine. Slight swelling or redness at the puncture sites usually disappears within a few hours. Make-up can be carefully reapplied after around 2-4 hours, although you should avoid rubbing vigorously at first.

An important part of our treatment is the Follow-up appointment after 10 to 14 days. At this point, the Botox has taken full effect and we can assess the result together. If necessary, we can make fine corrections or re-treat asymmetrical areas to ensure a perfectly symmetrical and natural appearance.

Effect & durability - what is realistic?

The effect of the eyebrow lift develops gradual and naturalwhich is one of the great advantages of this method. Unlike surgical procedures, where the result is immediately visible, the effect of botulinum toxin unfolds over several days, resulting in a very natural transition. This gradual change is perceived by most patients as particularly pleasant, as even those around them usually do not perceive the improvement as "done".

The Duration of effect of the eyebrow lift is 3 to 6 months on average, although this period depends on various individual factors. People with very active facial expressions or a fast metabolism may notice the effects wear off sooner, while other patients may still notice significant effects after 6 months. It is interesting to note that an extension of the duration of effect is often observed with regular treatments.

The results are, with proper application Very predictable and reproducible. Most patients are surprised at how natural their appearance looks after an eyebrow lift. The look is noticeably refreshed and more alert, without other people being able to recognise the reason for this. Many patients report that they often receive compliments about their "refreshed" and "fresh" appearance without being asked why.

Another important aspect is the Reversibility of the treatment. In contrast to surgical procedures, eyebrow lifting with Botox is completely reversible. If you are not satisfied with the result, which is extremely rare, the effect will wear off completely after a few months and your original appearance will return.

The optimum treatment frequency is around 2-3 treatments per yearThe individual rhythm can be better assessed after the first few treatments. Many patients develop a feeling for when the effect wears off and can therefore determine the optimum time for the next treatment.

Aftercare: do's & don'ts for optimal results

The aftercare after an eyebrow lift is uncomplicated and requires only a few restrictions. Nevertheless, there are some important points to bear in mind to ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of complications. Our patients receive detailed written aftercare instructions, which we explain below.

First 24-48 hours: Critical phase

In the first two days after treatment Special care is requiredas the botulinum toxin is not yet fully bound to the target muscle and could theoretically still "migrate". Some important rules of behaviour therefore apply during this phase:

• No rubbing, massaging or strong pressure in the treatment area
• Avoid intensive sport, sauna, steam bath or solarium
• Only apply make-up after a few hours and only carefully
• For minor haematomas: gentle cooling with soft compresses
• Upright posture for 2-4 hours after treatment
• No facial massages or cosmetic treatments

It is particularly important in the first few hours after treatment to not to lie or bending the head forwards sharply. This could influence the distribution of the botulinum toxin and lead to undesirable effects. Instead, you should move normally and carry out your usual activities, but observe the restrictions mentioned.

After one week: return to normality

After only about a week all normal activities can be resumed. The botulinum toxin is now firmly bound to the target muscle and the first effects of the treatment become visible. If you are not completely satisfied with the interim result at this point, this is completely normal - the full effect will only develop in the second week.

Also important is the Proper skin care after the treatment. Healthy, well-moisturised skin supports the effect of the botulinum toxin and ensures an even more natural appearance. We recommend the use of gentle, pH-neutral cleansing products and high-quality moisturisers. In addition Skin care treatments such as RF microneedling further improve skin quality.

If you notice any irregularities or have any questions about the development of the result, we are at your disposal at any time available. Many minor uncertainties can be clarified with a short telephone call and, if necessary, we can also arrange an additional check-up appointment.

Risks & side effects: Transparency and information

As with any medical treatment, eyebrow lifting can also have side effects. However, thanks to our many years of experience and precise application technique, these are mostly mild and temporary. We attach great importance to an honest and complete explanation of all possible risks so that you can make an informed decision.

Frequent, harmless side effects

Most of the side effects occur directly after the treatment and disappear on their own within a few hours to days:

• Slight swelling at the puncture sites - usually disappear within 2-4 hours and can be easily covered with make-up
• Temporary reddening of the skin, similar to a mild insect bite
• Small haematomas (bruises) - occur in around 10% of patients and usually subside within a week
• Mild tension headache in the first 1-3 days, similar to a mild tension headache
• Feeling of heaviness in the forehead, which usually subsides after a few days

These side effects are completely normal and show that the botulinum toxin is beginning to take effect. They usually do not affect everyday life and can be treated with over-the-counter painkillers if necessary.

Rare complications: Prevention and treatment

Should eyelid ptosis occur, there are Special eye dropswhich can bring about a temporary improvement. In most cases, however, this complication disappears by itself as soon as the effect of the Botox wears off. Our ophthalmological expertise enables us to recognise such rare complications quickly and treat them appropriately.

Contraindications: When is the treatment not suitable?

An eyebrow lift is not for every patient suitable. The following circumstances rule out treatment or require special precautions:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding - for precautionary reasons, Botox treatments are generally not carried out during this time
• Acute infections at the injection site or on the face - treatment is postponed until the infection has subsided
• Neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
• Known allergies to botulinum toxin or one of the excipients
• Unrealistic expectations - if the desired results cannot be achieved with this method
• Taking certain medications - blood thinners in particular should be discontinued before treatment if possible

During the consultation, we create a Detailed anamnesis and check all potential contraindications. Your safety is our top priority, which is why we take sufficient time for this important preliminary clarification.

Alternatives to the Botox eyebrow lift

Although the Botox eyebrow lift is the ideal solution for many patients, depending on the individual situation, there are also Other methodswhich can be useful. At Medical Nova, we offer a comprehensive range of aesthetic treatments and give you honest advice on which method promises the best results for you.

Hyaluronic filler for strategic brow support

Hyaluronic acid can be strategically placed on the lateral brow bone or in the temporal region to additional volumetric support to give. This method is particularly suitable for slight volume loss in the temple area or if the eyebrows not only appear sunken but also sunken. The combination of Botox and hyaluronic fillers can achieve particularly natural and long-lasting results in suitable patients.

The great advantage of hyaluronic acid treatment lies in the immediate visibility of the result and the possibility of modelling the volume very precisely. At the same time, this treatment is also fully reversible if the result does not meet expectations.

Thread lifting as an alternative: mechanical vs. muscular lifting

Another alternative to the Botox eyebrow lift is the thread lift, in which special absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to mechanically lift the eyebrows. Whilst both methods are minimally invasive, they differ Fundamental in the approach. The thread lift works by physically lifting the tissue using threads, while Botox relaxes the muscles. Although the thread lift also does not leave any major scars, a local anaesthetic is usually required as the placement of the threads can be a little more uncomfortable.

Improve skin quality with innovative treatments

Sometimes the cause of a tired look is not the position of the eyebrows, but the Quality of the surrounding skin. Treatments like MesotherapyRF microneedling or Thulium laser can significantly improve the skin structure, elasticity and radiance and thus support or even replace the effect of an eyebrow lift - without any scars, stitches or complex anaesthesia.

These treatments stimulate the the body's own collagen production tighten the skin and can thus contribute to an overall more youthful appearance. A combination of different procedures is often used to achieve optimal results.

Surgical brow/forehead lift for pronounced findings

In the case of severe excess skin, pronounced tissue sagging or very deep wrinkles, a surgical eyelid lift or surgical forehead lift is the best option. More effective and long-term solution. These surgical procedures offer more dramatic and long-lasting results, but also require a corresponding aftercare period and harbour higher risks.

We advise you honest about itwhether your expectations and findings can be better treated with non-surgical or surgical methods. Sometimes a combination of both approaches is the best way to achieve optimal results.

Possible combinations: Utilising synergy effects

An eyebrow lift can be Excellent with other aesthetic treatments to achieve even more comprehensive and harmonised results. At Medical Nova, we have extensive experience with such combination treatments and can offer you customised treatment plans.

Particularly popular and effective is the combination with Botox for forehead wrinkles or Crow's feet. These treatments complement each other perfectlyas they address different areas of the upper third of the face and together create a harmonious, youthful overall appearance. Treating several areas in one session is not only more efficient, but often also more cost-effective than separate treatments.

The supplementary treatment of Dark circles with hyaluron strengthens the rejuvenating effect considerably. While Botox lifts the brows and opens up the gaze, hyaluronic fillers can simultaneously conceal dark circles under the eyes and give a fresher, more rested appearance.

A further synergistic effect results from the combination with skin-improving treatments such as facial mesotherapy. This can improve the quality of the skin around the eyes and therefore enhance and prolong the effect of the eyebrow lift.

Cost of an eyebrow lift: transparency and fairness

The costs for an eyebrow lift at Medical Nova are based on various individual factors and are always discussed transparently during the consultation. We attach great importance to fair pricing and avoid hidden costs or subsequent surprises.

The Pricing depends on depends on the following factors:

• Individual starting position and anatomical conditions
• Desired degree of lifting and desired result
• Amount of botulinum toxin required - depending on muscle strength and desired effect
• Combination with other treatments - often with a price advantage
• Cost of aftercare and included follow-up appointments

A personal consultation provides you with a Precise and binding cost estimatethat is tailored to your individual needs. At Medical Nova, you will receive a detailed cost overview during the initial consultation so that you can make an informed decision. All costs are itemised transparently and there are no hidden additional costs.

The investment in a professional eyebrow lift should always be considered in the context of the long-term satisfaction and security should be considered. While cheaper providers may seem tempting, improper applications can lead to unsightly or even dangerous results that are often significantly more expensive to correct than professional treatment from the outset.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Based on our many years of experience, we have Frequently asked questions from our patients compiled. These should help you to make an informed decision and dispel any uncertainties.

How natural is the result of an eyebrow lift?

When properly applied by experienced physicians, the result is extraordinarily discreet and natural. The aim is always to gently lift the eyebrows without the typical "surprised" or "mask-like" facial expression that is unfortunately sometimes seen with improper applications. Most people around you will simply notice that you look fresher, more rested and more alert without realising why. Many patients receive compliments such as "You look so rested" or "Have you been on holiday?" without asking for the real reason.

Is it possible to get "too much" or correct mistakes with a brow lift?

The injection points and dosages are determined by Medical Nova Individualised and conservative to avoid over-treatment. If the result still does not meet your expectations or is asymmetrical, professional fine-tuning is carried out at the standard check-up appointment after 10-14 days. An excessively raised arch can be corrected by skilful re-injections, and as the treatment is completely reversible, the appearance will normalise again after a few months at the latest.

When will I be able to do sports and resume normal activities?

Light activities and normal everyday life are already the day after the treatment possible. You should pause intensive training with heavy sweating for 24-48 hours, as increased blood pressure and heavy sweating could theoretically affect the distribution of the botulinum toxin. After this short rest period, you can resume all your usual activities without any restrictions. Most patients find these minimal restrictions very pleasant compared to surgical procedures with stitches or thread lifting, which can result in longer healing times and scars.

Can the eyebrow lift be combined with other treatments?

Yes, the combination is not only possible, but often even particularly useful and effective. Combinations with hyaluronic fillers for additional volume in the temple region or with mesotherapy to improve skin quality have proved very successful. The simultaneous treatment of forehead wrinkles or crow's feet is also very popular. We will discuss the optimal sequence, ideal timing and possible synergy effects in detail during your individual consultation.

How long does the effect last and how often do I need to be treated?

The duration of action is typically 3-6 monthsThe effect of the treatment can be minimised, whereby individual factors such as metabolic rate, muscle activity and lifestyle play a role. Interestingly, with regular treatments, many patients notice that the effect lasts longer over time, as the muscles "get used" to the relaxed position and wrinkling is reduced. The optimum treatment frequency is usually 2-3 treatments per year.

What happens if I am unhappy with the result?

At Medical Nova, a Follow-up appointment after 10-14 days as standard and is already included in the price. If corrections are necessary at this point, they can usually be carried out easily and free of charge. As the treatment is completely reversible, your original appearance will return after a few months at the latest if you are fundamentally dissatisfied with the result. Your satisfaction and well-being are our top priority.

Do I need an anaesthetic for the treatment?

Most patients require No anaesthesia for the eyebrow lift, as the injections are carried out with very fine needles and are only felt as a slight pinprick. If you are still sensitive to pain, a local anaesthetic cream can be applied. Compared to a thread lift, which usually requires a more extensive anaesthetic due to the placement of the threads, the Botox treatment is much more comfortable and does not cause any scars.

Are there any age restrictions for the treatment?

A lower age limit is around 25 yearsas there are usually no changes to the eyebrows that require treatment before then. There is no strict upper limit, but skin elasticity decreases from around the age of 60, meaning that surgical procedures may be more effective. The decisive factor is always the individual findings and the shape of the eyebrows, not the chronological age. We will give you honest advice on whether you would benefit from the treatment.
