Teach Me Brow Lift - Brow Position
Understanding Ideal Brow Position with Dr. CJ Conlon
The Foundation of Brow Aesthetics
Before considering a brow lift, it's essential to understand where the brow should naturally sit. The ideal position differs significantly between males and females.
Female Brow Position:
- Should rest approximately one centimeter above the orbital rim (the bony ridge around the eye)
- Features a peak that aligns with the outer edge of the iris (the colored part of the eye)
Male Brow Position:
- Should sit on the orbital rim
- Maintains a straighter appearance without significant peaking
Common Brow Concerns
Dr. Conlon sees patients with two primary complaints:
- The "Scowling" Look - When the middle portion of the brow drops too low, patients appear angry or stern even when they're not
- The "Tired" Appearance - When the lateral (outer) brow descends, it creates a perpetually exhausted look
