Ideal Female Brow Position May Be Shifting

Garrett R. Griffin, M.D. and Jennifer C. Kim, M.D. reviewed the faces of fashion models on magazine covers in ten year segments between 1946 and 2011. They found the highest point of a woman’s arching brows has gradually moved from just over the middle aspect of the pupil to a point over the lateral canthus, the point where the upper and lower eyelids come together on the side of the face. Cindy Crawford famously sported the lateral arching brow in the 1980’s. Coincidentally this was about the time when endoscopic brow lifting was being developed. In the 27 years I have been teaching brow lifting to young Facial Plastic Surgeons, I have encouraged a more lateral arching brow design. Although with surgery it is important not to raise the inner aspect of the eyebrow too much which can result in a masculine appearance.

Women’s brow height appears to be changing again toward a more centrally located arch between the mid-pupil and the lateral canthus. This central arch is the location where most patients’ brows naturally gravitate to following a Botox injection. Perhaps it’s been the widespread use of Botox Cosmetic for brow lifting which has brought about this fashion shift or maybe it’s just women’s desire for change which has inspired the new look. In any case, this shift in women’s ideal brow position and shape has caused a compensatory change in the brow lift surgery again.

For individuals who desire a more permanent elevation of their brows, Facial Plastic Surgeons like myself are looking to our own patients for guidance as to where they prefer their brow arch to be placed and more often than not the desired high point of the arch is moving closer to the mid-pupillary line.

Welcome to Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre.

We believe that healthy, youthful renewal begins with science. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Michael and Christine Sullivan, our practice was the first of its kind in central Ohio. For 20+ years, The Sullivan Centre has led the way in advancing the science of beauty and providing only the safest and most effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for our patients.

I met Dr. Mike, Dr. Chris and the rest of the team in 2014 and have had the incredible opportunity to train and collaborate with Dr. Mike for the past five years. I officially joined The Sullivan Centre in September 2019 and could not be more excited to lead this exceptional practice into the future.

My goal is to provide you with the education and expertise needed to help you feel confident with your decision to pursue surgical or non-surgical treatment. I am proud to be a part of a highly skilled team that delivers personalized care so that you feel comfortable through every step of the process.

In addition to practicing exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I also serve as the medical director for our non-surgical services. We are fortunate to have two of the most experienced aesthetic providers in central Ohio in their respective fields. Dina Maynard and Nancy Cotterman, RN have been caring for patients at The Sullivan Centre for a combined 25 years! You won’t find anyone with more training or skill.

Spend as much time as you need learning more about our team and the services we provide. We are passionate about what we do, and we would love to see you soon.
