before and after treatment of eyebrow asymmetry

Eyebrow Treatments Sydney – The Manse Clinic

Eyebrow treatments are a popular choice at our Sydney clinic. The brow and orbital area play a major role in facial balance, beauty, and perceived youthfulness. Over time, the brows and upper eyelids can lose volume, causing a hollow or tired appearance. Personalised eyebrow treatments can help restore a more refreshed and harmonious look.

Understanding Eyebrow Ageing

As we age, bone and soft tissue in the upper face naturally reduce in volume. This can lead to flattening of the brow, loss of contour, and changes to symmetry.
Some people are born with fuller brows, while others naturally have less projection. A tailored treatment plan can address individual anatomy and desired outcomes.

Your practitioner will assess your face and discuss suitable treatment options that aim to restore proportion, balance, and a natural appearance.

Eyebrow Treatments May Help With:

1. Eyelid and Brow Skin
Fine lines or creasing on the upper eyelids can be addressed with suitable aesthetic treatments designed to improve surface appearance and contour.

2. Shape of the Upper Lids
Depending on facial anatomy, some clients may benefit from treatment in specific areas (for example, the inner corner or outer brow) to achieve a smooth, balanced contour that complements the natural lash line.

3. Brow Ageing
Volume loss around the brows can affect structural support. Restoring subtle volume can enhance overall balance and definition.

4. Brow Symmetry
Mild asymmetry between the brows is very common. Treatments may help improve balance and create a more even look.

Choosing the Type and Number of Treatments

The type and number of treatments vary for each individual.
Your practitioner will perform a full facial assessment, take a detailed history, and create a plan based on your anatomy, goals, and preferences.

Some clients are satisfied with one session, while others prefer gradual improvement over multiple visits.

Pain Relief Options

Comfort is always a priority. Depending on your treatment plan, your practitioner may use:

A topical numbing cream applied before treatment
Local anaesthetic when a cannula is used
Ice to reduce swelling and minimise discomfort
Nitrous oxide (happy gas) for additional comfort if desired

Eyebrow Treatment Procedure

Before treatment, makeup is removed and the skin is cleansed with antiseptic solution.

If a cannula is used, a small amount of local anaesthetic may be used, followed by a tiny entry point where the cannula is inserted.

After treatment, light pressure is applied, and ice may be used to reduce swelling or bruising.

Immediately After Eyebrow Treatment

It’s normal to experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness around the treated area.
A small bruise may appear at the entry site if a cannula is used.
Swelling typically improves over the next few days as the skin settles.

Possible Side Effects and Risks

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks. These may include:

Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising
Mild asymmetry
Tenderness at the treatment site
Rare complications such as infection or vascular occlusion (your practitioner will discuss this during consultation)

Your clinician will explain all potential risks and aftercare steps to ensure your comfort and safety.

Aftercare Instructions

To support recovery and achieve the best outcome, please avoid:

Wearing makeup for 4 hours
Heavy exercise on the day of treatment
Using active skincare (acids or retinoids) for 24 hours
Saunas, spas, or hot yoga for 1 week after treatment

Asymmetry After Treatment

It’s common for the brows to appear slightly uneven initially due to swelling or bruising.
This usually settles within a few weeks.
Your practitioner will assess your results at the follow-up appointment (typically around 4 weeks) before making any adjustments.

How Long Does Eyebrow Treatment Last?

Duration varies from person to person depending on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and anatomy.
Most clients review their results after one month, then schedule maintenance every 6–12 months once the desired look has been achieved.

FAQs

1. What causes changes to the brow area over time?
With age, the natural support structures of the face — including bone and soft tissue — can reduce, leading to flattening or hollowing around the brows and eyelids. This may make the area appear less lifted or defined.

2. How many eyebrow treatments will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your facial anatomy, treatment goals, and the approach chosen. Some clients are satisfied after a single session, while others prefer gradual improvements over several visits.

3. Is eyebrow treatment painful?
Most clients find the procedure comfortable. Numbing cream, ice, or nitrous oxide (“happy gas”) can be used to minimise any discomfort.

4. What is the downtime after eyebrow treatment?
Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness can occur for a few days. Most people return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

5. How long do results last?
Longevity varies from person to person depending on anatomy, lifestyle, and metabolism. Your practitioner will advise when maintenance may be recommended.

6. Can eyebrow treatments help with asymmetry?
Yes. Many clients have naturally uneven brows, and subtle adjustments can help improve balance while maintaining a natural look.

Brow Lift and Eyebrow Rejuvenation Treatments – The Manse Clinic Sydney

The brows can be subtly lifted and shaped using cosmetic medical treatments performed by qualified practitioners.

Certain non-surgical techniques may be used in combination with volumising and skin-quality treatments to enhance the overall result.

How Brow and Eye Area Treatments Work

Small, carefully placed applications are performed in the muscles around the eyes that contribute to brow position. Several points are typically treated on each side.
Best results for lifting are achieved when the area beside the eyes is also treated, as the muscles responsible for crow’s-feet can pull the brows downward.

The middle part of the brows may be elevated by treating the muscles at the top of the nose and glabella region.

Restoring Volume and Shape Around the Brow

As we age, the brows can lose projection and height as bone and soft tissue reduce. Replacing support in this area can help restore a natural-looking contour.
Treatment may be applied to the outer or inner brow depending on individual anatomy.

Skin-quality improvement procedures can also help refine the skin’s surface and brightness around the brows.

Understanding Your Desired Brow Look

Your consultation will include discussion of:

Whether inner or outer brow height is the main concern
The style of brow you prefer (e.g., soft and natural, flared, or flatter)
Your desired level of lift and whether subtle or more noticeable results are preferred

Consultation and Assessment

Your practitioner will examine:

Current brow position and symmetry
Skin quality and any eyelid heaviness
Forehead or temple volume loss
The overall curve from brow to upper nose
Whether a longer-lasting or surgical option might suit your goals

Comfort and Pain Relief

Comfort is a priority. Options may include:

Topical numbing cream (e.g., EMLA or LMX) applied about 45 minutes before treatment
Ice to reduce discomfort and swelling
Nitrous oxide (happy gas) if preferred

During the Appointment

The area is cleansed, ice is applied briefly, and precise applications are performed around the eyes and brows.
If volume restoration is included, the location is tailored to your facial structure.
The appointment typically takes less than five minutes.

After Treatment

You may notice mild redness or small bumps that settle quickly.
Most people can return to work immediately, though bruising is possible and more likely with volumising procedures.

Possible Side Effects and Risks

All medical procedures carry potential risks. These may include:

Temporary bruising, swelling, or tenderness
Mild asymmetry that usually balances as swelling subsides
Rarely, eyelid heaviness or droop
Infection (very uncommon)

Your practitioner will discuss all risks and aftercare instructions during consultation.

Aftercare

To support healing:

Avoid makeup and massage for 4 hours
Skip heavy exercise for the rest of the day
Avoid lying flat for 4 hours
Avoid active skincare for 24 hours
Gentle facial movements (smiling, frowning) may help early settling

Expected Results and Review

Initial results may start to appear within 2–8 days, with full effects visible at around 3–4 weeks.
Volume-based treatments show results immediately.
A review appointment is recommended at about three weeks for first-time patients.

Treatment Longevity

Longevity varies between individuals:

Brow-refining treatments typically last around three to four months.
Volume restoration treatments are generally maintained every six to twelve months.

Your practitioner will tailor a schedule for optimal results.

When to Seek Review

If you notice unevenness that persists after three to four weeks
If eyelid heaviness occurs — your practitioner can assess and recommend options

Who Is Unsuitable

Treatment may not be suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological or skin conditions.
Your practitioner will assess suitability during consultation.
