Guide To The Benefits And Risks Of Eyebrow Lifts And Fillers

Tighten Sagging Skin

Sagging skin on the forehead can cause an individual to appear older and may even interfere with the standard functionality of their eyes and vision. When the sagging skin is near an individual's eyebrows, it can cause a hooded effect that develops on the upper eyelids. The most effective form of eyebrow lift known to improve the appearance of sagging skin is the endoscopic brow lift. During this brow lift, the surgeon will utilize numerous small incisions in the scalp to lift and physically anchor the tissues responsible for causing the upper facial sagginess.

While the results of an eyebrow lift on sagging skin are not guaranteed to last forever, they typically last for approximately a decade in most patients. For most affected individuals, the cause of sagging skin on the forehead or around the brows is a loss of collagen and volume. Dermal filler injections are known to help restore the lost volume, filling in and lifting the sagging skin tissues on the forehead.

Hair Loss

One notable risk of dermal filler injections is the loss of hair in the treated area. When the injection is administered, the filler produce can accidentally enter the nearby blood vessels and cause problems. The individual's immune system can attack the tissues where the filler was injected and cause the hair follicles to malfunction. The hair follicles can enter a dormant hair growth cycle phase due to the immune attack on these cells, causing hair to fall out. The filler product can also enter the blood vessels and restrict blood flow to nearby hair follicles. Without proper blood flow, the hair falls out and cannot grow again until blood flow is restored. Hair loss that occurs as an adverse side effect of dermal filler injections is not always a permanent problem. Many individuals who experienced this side effect were able to restore at least some of the lost hair.
