See more information about the doctorThe position of the eyebrows is influenced by anatomical features, the activity of the forehead muscles, the soft tissue structure of the forehead and temples, and changes that occur over time. Therefore, congenital low eyebrows and low eyebrows due to aging are not entirely the same.
Dr. Nguyen Thi Ly Na, Senior Specialist
During the examination, the doctor needs to observe the position of the eyebrows while the forehead muscles are relaxed, assess the degree of sagging at the head, body, and tail of the eyebrows, and check for excess skin on the upper eyelids, the position of the eyelid margin, and the function of the eyelid elevator muscle. This assessment helps differentiate low eyebrows from excess skin on the upper eyelids or true ptosis, as these conditions may occur separately or simultaneously but do not apply the same treatment method.
Not every case with heavy upper eyelids requires raising the eyebrows. If the eyebrow position is still appropriate but the skin beneath the eyebrows is sagging, the doctor may focus on addressing the excess skin. If the eyebrows are truly low, the method needs to target the structure that holds the eyebrows. In cases where the upper eyelid margin is lowered due to the eyelid elevator muscle, it should be evaluated and treated as ptosis.
The goal of treatment is to correctly address the structure causing the external appearance, create openness in the eye area while maintaining the eyebrow position in harmony with the natural features of each face.
Brow position plays an important role in facial expression and overall appearance. Over time, age-related changes in the forehead, brow tissues, and surrounding skin may cause the eyebrows to descend, a condition commonly referred to as brow ptosis. This can contribute to a tired or heavy appearance around the eyes.
Signs of Sagging Brows
The eyebrow is a slender strip above the eye socket that serves to protect the eyes from harmful elements (such as dust, sweat, bacteria, etc.) and ensures aesthetic harmony for the overall face. Accordingly, a beautiful eyebrow shape should be in harmony with the face, have a reasonable distance from the eyes, be evenly wide on both sides, and have a moderate arch.
In some middle-aged women, the eyebrows no longer have their previous beauty, instead showing signs of sagging as follows:
Brows that are lower than normal
One brow is higher than the other
Risk Factors and Causes of Sagging Brows
The natural aging process
Over time, components in the skin structure such as collagen and elastin gradually diminish. This weakens the framework of the skin around the brows, leading to sagging and laxity.
Due to genetic factors
Since birth, some women have had eyebrows that are lower than normal, or one eyebrow higher than the other, causing asymmetry that makes the face appear less vibrant and even older than its actual age.
Bad Habits
Staying up late, lack of sleep, frequent stress, and poor eating habits over time can lead to signs of aging in the eyebrows, causing them to droop and lose their natural shape.
Do sagging brows have any impact?
1
Sagging brows can create an imbalanced appearance, making the face look tired and less vibrant, which may affect confidence.
2
Sagging brows can cause the skin of the upper eyelids to droop, making it difficult for clients to open their eyes wide, which over time may lead to amblyopia.
Treatment solutions for sagging, low brows
To improve the appearance of sagging brows, low brows, or uneven brows, clients often turn to methods like makeup or eyebrow tattooing. However, makeup does not provide significant improvement and is only a temporary solution. Eyebrow tattooing may also compromise the natural look of the brows.
The brow lift service at Dr. Eye will help elevate clients’ brows in the most natural way, while also addressing sagging at the outer corners of the eyes. Clients will achieve a brow shape that complements their face and a much younger-looking appearance.

How to Prevent Brow Aging
To combat eyebrow aging, women can take note of the following tips:
- Properly shape your eyebrows: Before starting to pluck, you should brush or gently smooth your eyebrows for a neat appearance. Additionally, when plucking, hold the skin above the eyebrow to reduce discomfort and prevent affecting the eyebrow shape later.
- Regular facial massage: Properly massaging your face a few times a week, especially the forehead and eyebrow area, helps prevent aging.
- Moisturizing the Eye Area: Use an eye cream specifically designed for the delicate skin around the eyes to help reduce wrinkles and enhance elasticity, especially on the upper eyelids, which are closest to the brow area.
- Lifestyle and Dietary Changes: Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, limit sugary and processed foods, ensure adequate sleep, reduce stress, and practice thorough sun protection when outdoors. These factors contribute to slowing down the skin aging process.
We hope that with the above insights, clients can clearly recognize the signs of low or sagging brows, allowing for appropriate treatment options. To maintain youthful appearance, clients may consider modern aesthetic technology methods when necessary. However, don’t forget to choose a reputable clinic to achieve the desired and natural brow shape while ensuring safety and reasonable costs.
