eyebrows

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on various surgical techniques for facial rejuvenation, including fat transfer/fat grafting, browlift, blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery), facelift, etc. Also, this category includes questions on hand rejuvenation via fat grafting. (Of note, Dr. Lam does not perform body rejuvenation except for hand fat grafting)

Can you manipulate the shape of eyebrows when you do fat grafting? I think I heard you say that you can in one of your lectures.

sorry, no. that is not the case at all. when i say brow, i mean the soft tissue that overlies the hairy eyebrow. it is more a regional term to describe the area that rests above the eyelid proper. however, the hairy brow is a marker for the brow. the hairy brow does not really move up or down but when it is inflated it looks as if it went up. that is the reason that many think you need a browlift when it is truly a problem with deflation. sorry, i know this is quite hard to explain in a forum response.
