Our eyebrows are organs that play a very important role in facial aesthetics. Eyebrows, which directly affect the person's expression, also bring about a younger or older appearance. Eyebrows that are sagging more than they should be or deformations that have occurred between the two eyebrows over time are eliminated by eyebrow lift surgery. Eyebrow lift surgery can be performed together with a number of other operations such as eyelid aesthetics and face lift. As a result of the interventions, people have a younger and more dynamic appearance.
