what's going through your injectors mind
when they're thinking about the brow
lift
[Music]
so the brow lift is a driver to
aesthetic practices a lot of people talk
about the brow lift kind of like the lip
flip which we went through in a prior
video what exactly is that what does it
mean to each different person the brow
shape is actually very complex and
lifting the brow means something
different to everyone let's first go
through how we get there the aging brow
really quickly then we're gonna go
through some vectors and then we're
going to go through the treatment and
what it actually is to lift the brow so
aging of the brow like with the rest of
the face it's college and loss it's a
little bit of drooping of the skin but
the bone is the most difficult part
because the easiest way to think of bone
is that it melts on the face so the eye
socket actually widens and it rotates
the wrong way instead of upwards how
females particularly want their brow it
rotates more towards a male position or
a downward turn and that's part of what
we're overcoming and that's why it's
also with the under eye harder to feel
laterally because the bone gets larger
but it's an important area so all those
factors going to the sagging of the eye
and then we'd be remiss if we didn't
talk about the upper lid ducking sag and
sometimes just genetically people have a
redundant upper lid but it also
increases with age so that's part of the
aging process now on to what do we do
about it well to first do anything with
the brow you have to know what's the
perfect brow and there are ethnicities
different people like different styles
and things even come in and out of style
so there are some vectors that we think
about and when you're injectors looking
at your eye they're calculating that
whether you know it or not the first one
is in this diagram you see
a line from the nasal Eila laterally
through the lateral canthus that usually
represents the extent of the lateral
brow then if you take this diagram with
a line that goes from the nasal Eila
through the mid pupil that's usually the
arch of the brow so there's different
vectors that were calculating and may
not be drawn out on your face but that's
what your injector is thinking about
there's much more to that but those are
two basic lines from there we calculate
the forehead toxin dose and area and
it's all important and I know we're
talking about brow lifts but understand
what's lifting your brow your frontalis
it usually ends at the temporal crest
but it can extend laterally yet another
variable your injectors thinking about
when calculating what to do with the
brow how to get that perfect arch let's
go to the treatments number one that
people think about is neuromodulator or
Botox like products so when we're
injecting this area think about the the
easiest most predictable safest area to
inject of course is laterally those
downward fibers of the orbicularis oculi
however there's really three areas and
in this diagram you can see the number
one the tarsal area there's the septal
area and then there's what we call the
body or the main part of the orbicularis
oculi or the orbital part the orbital
part is used to actually create a strong
blink that's when you're really pushed
down hard so you can manipulate these
muscles to open the eye more being
careful for dry eye you can get a brow
lift at the mid arch from injecting the
muscles that really pull down hard and
then this shows you that muscle is
complex so there's really four different
areas where you can manipulate it to get
that brow lift
so that's neural modulators and that's a
real cursory evaluation of them it's a
complex discussion but it gives you a
nice
yeah what goes through the injectors
mind and if you didn't get that perfect
brow lift sticking with that injector to
get your pattern that's specific to you
everyone's muscle is going to be a
little bit different some are stronger
somewhere weaker some will get the lift
when you inject that area others just
won't get a result so it's playing and
manipulating that area second fillers
okay what are we filling two things and
I'm going to include fillers and
collagen stimulators along the same
because this is what I use in that area
a lot more collagen stimulators than
fillers but it's filling the brow and
the temple very few people think of the
temple but if you think a hollow temple
the arch of the brow is what we lose and
you get that kind of Akama looking brow
and it can be arts because people try
and lift their eyes and so they get a
very unusual arch of the brow and the
tail drops off so you see how complex it
is but fillers can be used to lift the
brow one thing I'm going to include in
the row of course is hair growth and I
know everyone's micro bleeding tattooing
but if people like hair on the brow so
PRF or platelet-rich fibrin can be used
in this area plus or minus a cell or
similar products to help stimulate the
growth and will include that here as
part of the treatment options for that
perfect brow the next treatment to
consider radiofrequency or devices and
certainly using heating to build and
stimulate collagen can provide an
immediate lift people see it right away
and that might go away after a couple
weeks but it can stay high but what I'm
looking for is the long term College of
growth in the forehead region so that
lines don't develop why the more toxin
we put up here neuromodulator the more
you drop and you lose that perfect brow
the last one and all important everyone
should get where the brow lift is P do
threads and I love smooth threads if you
follow my videos you know every one that
I want to lift the brow and I want to
put smooth threads above the brow to
build collagen you
a little bit of volume you can use twist
as well they work good especially if you
want a little more volume than smooth
but it builds collagen so that you don't
have to use a neuromodulator in that
danger zone at the temporal crest and
I'll go through and other videos you can
look back and where I draw the area out
to really know how to mark that
frontalis muscle so you don't get drew
so that's the brow understand how much
goes into it to get a perfect brow shape
its style its filler neuromodulator
devices PDO threads and that still might
leave some people wanting a surgical
result depending on the stage of the
skin laxity and bone changes thanks for
