Changes in Eyebrow Position and Shape with Aging

Unlike other areas of the body where there is descent of soft tissues, there is paradoxical elevation of eyebrows with aging.

Techniques that selectively elevate the lateral brow are more likely to have a rejuvenating effect on the upper third of the female face.
