OPEN EYES, FRESH LOOK

Drooping eyebrows

With drooping eyebrows, your brows sit lower than you're used to. Your look then seems heavier and more tired than you feel, and sometimes it gives a pressing feeling above your eyes. Here you can read how to recognise it, where it comes from and what you can do about it.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

How to recognise drooping eyebrows

With drooping eyebrows, your brows sit lower than you're used to. That can be on one side or both. Your look then seems more tired, or even sterner, than you feel.

It happens gradually and increases a little as you get older. The medical name is brow ptosis.

Our philosophy

Stay fresh and natural thanks to our No Trace Face® technique

At Soap, we find it super important to treat you in such a way that you look fresher, more rested, and a touch younger, but never treated. That's why all our experts work according to the No Trace Face® techniques we developed.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN

Why your eyebrows drop

Drooping eyebrows are a natural result of ageing. The skin of your forehead becomes looser and the tissue underneath gradually loses its firmness. Your brows slowly drop along with it, a little more every year.

Sometimes a drooping brow has another cause, such as a problem with the nerves in your face. If a brow suddenly drops, or you notice something else in your face, see your GP first.

MORE THAN A LOOK

A heavy look from drooping eyebrows

A low brow pushes the skin of your eyelid down with it. That can give a heavy or pressing feeling above your eyes, and sometimes headaches or tiredness.

Sometimes you have no complaints, but mainly see in the mirror that your look has become heavier than you feel. That's a good reason to want to do something about it too.

BROW OR EYELID

Drooping eyebrows or a drooping eyelid

A heavy look doesn't always come from your eyelid. With droopy eyelids it's about loose skin above your eye. With drooping eyebrows it's about the position of your brow itself, which takes the skin of your eyelid down with it.

Sometimes a lowered brow is the real cause of a tired look, and sometimes both play a role. That's hard to see yourself. The doctor assesses during your consult what's going on for you. Read more about your eyelids at eyelid correction.

CHECK IN THE MIRROR

Check yourself if your brow has dropped

Look relaxed in the mirror, without raising your forehead. Follow the line of your brow from inside to outside. If the outer end, the tail, sits lower than the inner end, or your brow rests on the edge of your eye socket, your brow may have dropped. Now raise your forehead: if the heavy skin above your eye disappears, it's in your brow and not your eyelid.

This test doesn't replace the consult, but helps you sharpen your question. Lifting your brows can then be subtle or long lasting, as you read above.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Lifting drooping eyebrows

Want a subtle lift without surgery? With a brow lift with Botox the doctor relaxes the muscles that pull your brows down. After about 3 to 7 days you see a more open look, and the effect lasts a few months.

Have your brows really dropped? A Surgical Brow Lift raises them for the long term. If your eyelid plays a role too, it can be combined with an upper eyelid correction. A Botox brow lift costs €240 with Azzalure or €320 with Relfydess, a Surgical Brow Lift €899 for one side and €1,299 for two sides.

"Found it very exciting for the first time botulinum toxin, but it was not necessary at all in hindsight. Super sweet and got a good explanation."

Clear, calm and professional. I came in very inexperienced and searching, and was received and helped very well. Zero pressure, plenty of time to consider and make choices. Very happy and grateful!

I had an appointment at Stadionweg, a beautiful location with staff that greets you incredibly friendly upon arrival. For me, this is truly a pampering moment! And when I look in the mirror, I still enjoy the subtle treatment, because every day I still see a fresh look, thank you for that 🩷
