With respect to facial anatomy, there are measurements and positions of the eyebrows that are regarded as normal. In women, a youthful feminine brow is considered to be at the level or above the upper boney margin and has a higher arch towards the outside tail of the brow.
With facial ageing, there can be the descent of the brow as a combination of gravity and facial expressions that results in a lower and flatter brow. In men, the eyebrow position is youth is lower than in women with a flatter shape.
Although we know these are common positions of the eyebrows, the natural position of the brow is very variable and any brow lift procedures need to be customised for an individual based on their unique changes with facial ageing.
In the past brow surgery was over-used as a substantial proportion of people naturally have low eyebrows, including may famous actors and actresses, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Grace Kelly. In people who always had low eyebrows, it is unwise to have brow lift surgery as this procedure can change a person’s appearance by giving them a surprised look.
Grace Kelly had relatively low eyebrows in her youth. Dr De Silva would advise against forehead or brow lift surgery in patients with naturally occurring low eyebrows and the surgery can change one’s appearance.

The camera enables the surgeon to see the anatomy underlying the forehead with specialist equipment; the technique is advanced and requires skill to lift the brow effectively and long-term.
Dr De Silva uses a specialised US technique and 3D telescopic imageing to enable the smallest incisions and fastest possible recovery after forehead lifting.
The traditional techniques to lift the forehead and brow required a large incision in the forehead (Direct brow lift) or very large incisions in the hairline (Coronal brow lift from one ear to the other ear) although these techniques were effective in lifting the forehead, they left noticeable scarring and were associated with greater downtime and recovery period.
To complete Endoscopic surgery, the latest in state-of-the-art technology is required to give a 3D- Telescopic image of the anatomy through a tiny skin incision.
