The human face is actually asymmetrical. Usually, these differences are hardly noticeable, but in some circumstances they appear to be in the very sight. Most often, the “victim” of asymmetry is brow and mouth — because of the habit of raising one eyebrow in surprise, for example.

But if one eyebrow is higher than the other, the situation can be corrected by several different methods.

Causes of asymmetry

The normal imbalance of the face, which can take on noticeable forms throughout life, is due to a physiological characteristic. Facial expression on the right side of the face is caused by the activity of the left hemisphere of the brain - logical thinking, analytical abilities. The left hemisphere “controls” the right side of the face - these are emotions and experiences.

But in addition to this natural reason, additional ones may appear. Conventionally, they are divided into 2 groups.

Congenital - caused by malformations of the bones of the skull. Eliminate the disproportion is not possible, you can only take into account.
Acquired - eyebrow asymmetry may occur as a result of an external factor:

2.1. diseases and injuries - inflammation of the facial nerve, pinching of nerve endings, incorrect bite or absence of a tooth, and so on,

2.2. mimic habits - squinting, sleep mostly on one side, the habit of raising an eyebrow,

2.3. physiological conditions - the use of specific equipment, the wrong points.

In fact, these changes are also almost impossible to correct - with the exception of bite and the installation of a dental implant.

Asymmetry Forms

Different eyebrows are not only a different arrangement of eyebrows. All possible forms of nonconformity are included in this category.

Different shapes - for example, one arc has a bend, and the second has a round shape. The problem is solved by all possible methods: plucking, drawing, tattooing, in the end.

Different length - as a rule, trim the arc lengthwise short. But if such a solution turns into a flaw, then the eyebrow is drawn.
Different width - the best method in this case is plucking.
What to do if one eyebrow is higher than another - the question is more complicated. By plucking at the lower or upper edge of the hair, it is possible to achieve that the arc visually changes its position. However, with a strong imbalance, the more difficult, this method is not suitable. You can solve the problem with permanent makeup. The use of any method of tattooing is allowed, but, as a rule, the asymmetric hairline is not retained.

Plucking

This is a universal correction method, equally suitable for eyebrows and of different shapes, and of different lengths, and located at different heights. The above preparation is required here.

It is preferable to carry out the correction in the beauty salon, and not at home. A person gets used to how his face looks and does not notice some details. In addition, when viewed, a person acquires a not quite natural expression. Therefore, for example, the owner of an ironically arched eyebrow may simply not notice this shortcoming until the disproportion becomes very noticeable.

The advantage of the method is its universality. Also the advantage is its simplicity and availability.
The disadvantages include the need to constantly repeat the procedure. Moreover, it is unpleasant.

When performing the procedure, it is desirable to observe the following recommendations.

It is better to pluck out the hairs before bedtime or several hours before going out, because after the procedure the skin reddens and swells somewhat.
To reduce discomfort, you can make a cold compress or rub the area with a piece of ice.
If you decide to level the brow arches yourself, then you should monitor the cleanliness of the tweezers: before the procedure and after the instrument, wipe it with an alcohol tincture.
A razor cannot be used: it does not provide adequate correction accuracy.
It is necessary to pull out carefully: to remove a hair is much easier, than to grow again.
Correction is made on the bottom edge of hair growth. Upper edge pluck out only as a last resort.

Tips to help you correct asymmetrical eyebrows:

Coloring with pencil and shadows

Thus align the eyebrows, you can only with a small imbalance. Neither the pencil nor the shadows can imitate the missing hairs, but only create a certain background and slightly change the visual perception.

The advantage of this method is its availability and simplicity.
The disadvantage is the solution for 1 day. In addition, the method is not universal.

Permanent makeup

If the question arises: how to make symmetrical eyebrows once and for all, the answer is unequivocal - with the help of tattoo. There are 3 main methods:

Shooting doesn’t imitate the eyebrow, but creates a background and enhances color. With eyebrows of different lengths or widths, this method is quite suitable,

hair - the tattoo reproduces the hairs that make up the eyebrow. This method is effective in different forms, irregular bending, different eyebrows,
3D tattooing is the best method for those cases when one eyebrow is higher or longer than the other or has a different shape. In fact, the combination of hair and shtotirovaniya: part of the strokes reproduces the hairs, and some are tinted.

Permanent make-up is a relatively short and fairly painless procedure. The result is held from six months to 2 years. So first you should evaluate the pros and cons of this method.

A definite plus is almost perfect symmetry. The best result cannot be obtained in any other way. In addition, eyebrows iron as natural as possible, especially if you can save hair.
The disadvantage is that the method requires skill and considerable experience. With poor quality work and lack of qualifications of the master, the result will be not only unsatisfactory, to put it mildly, but also difficult to keep.

Eyebrow extensions

How to fix eyebrows with subtlety and rarity hair, if you do not want to resort to tattoo? Extension - a new technology, similar to hair extensions. Its essence is reduced to the fixation of artificial hairs 4–8 mm long on the skin. Special glue is used. The color and thickness of hairs is selected as close as possible to the natural.

The procedure takes about 30-40 minutes. No contraindications.

The advantage of the method: the eyebrow looks completely natural, while the shape, length and width are perfectly symmetrical.
The minus is the fragility of the result: after a week the hairs begin to peel off. The cost of the procedure is also considerable.

Correction of eyebrows with their asymmetry is possible in several ways. The choice of method depends on the degree of disproportion, thickness and length of hairs, the expected result and, of course, cost.

Types of eyebrow asymmetry

Girls often exaggerate the problem when it comes to their appearance. Under the asymmetry of the eyebrows can be understood:

different width / length
different shape
different density
different level.

Eyebrow correction photo

Makeup, tattoo, well-chosen hairstyle, correct eyebrow correction can smooth out the impression with a slight disproportion. However, with a serious difference in the level of eyebrows, they are ineffective. Pathological asymmetry is recognized if the difference in position is greater than 2 mm.

Causes of disproportionate brows

Doctors have identified 25 possible causes of eyebrow asymmetry. Some of them are due to the physiological structure of a person (the shape of the skull, for example). Others occur during life due to habits, diseases, injuries. The main causes of acquired disproportionality:

defects of nerve fibers (a consequence of a stroke, inflammation of the facial nerve),
vision problems (squint, significant difference in visual acuity between the eyes),
problems with teeth (habit or the need to chew on one side, “gaps” in the rows of teeth, bite defect, jaw injuries),
neck curvature
facial injuries, nerve paralysis.

Exercises and Massages

To choose the correct method of eliminating asymmetry of eyebrows, it is necessary to understand the reasons for its occurrence. If it is caused by muscle spasm, Botox can be used. It is necessary to take into account the degree of asymmetry. A minor problem caused by the habit of squinting, raising an eyebrow, sleeping on one side or chewing on only one side of the jaw can be solved by doing special gymnastics. Like any fitness, it will help muscles learn to relax.

Gymnastics for the face has several techniques. It is often called face-building. Now popular exercises from Carol Maggio, Reinhold Benz, Camilla Voler. The most important thing in these classes is their regularity. A two or three week daily exercise course is recommended.

Massage also helps to relax muscle tension. The course of a relaxing or plastic facial massage, special effects on the cervical-collar section is able to make the halves of the face more symmetrical. This procedure can only be carried out by a specialist. Acupuncture (acupuncture) is also effective.

In some cases, visits to a chiropractor give very good results. These specialists are not only able to relax spastic muscles, they affect bones and joints, connective tissues. The younger the patient, the easier it is for the doctor to correct congenital asymmetry, for example, associated with torticollis.

Botulin introduction

To eliminate the asymmetry of the eyebrows, the botulinum toxin preparation is injected into the frontal muscle, as well as into the muscle tissue responsible for the "wrinkling" of the eyebrow. To do this, use drugs "Botox", "Dysport", "Lantoks". This technique is ideal for patients with cramped muscles. Botulinum toxin weakens the muscle, the eyebrow assumes the correct position.

The introduction of Botox or a drug analog allows you to achieve a rather long-lasting result without complicated operations: up to 10 months. The method is used both for the asymmetry of the eyebrows (in this case, the drug is injected in one side of the face) and for visual rejuvenation: with age, the skin is contracting due to muscle contraction, the look becomes heavy and gloomy. Preparations of botulinum toxin, relaxing the muscle, put everything in its original position.

Asymmetry of eyebrows with botox does not take much time. The procedure itself lasts no more than 10 minutes. Together with the consultation and the period of rest after the introduction of the drug, the patient spends an hour and a half in the cosmetology clinic. The first result will be noticeable in two to five days, the maximum effect will appear in 15 days.

Plastic surgery

Coronary dilution is considered an obsolete method of correcting different level of eyebrows. Through an incision of 7 cm along the hairline, the skin stretches upward, its excess is cut off. This method is fraught with a long recovery period (3 weeks), a large number of complications, and unpredictable results. The operation is performed in a clinic under general anesthesia.

It is possible to change the position of a part of the eyebrow by means of temporal browning. An incision is made along the hairline at the temples. The skin is tightened by the introduction of threads or the removal of a flap of skin. Rehabilitation will be 10 days.

Endoscopy is a more benign browning method. The skin is attracted to new attachment points with special screws, clamps made of bioplastics (endotins) or threads.

Thread Lifting

The elimination of eyebrow asymmetry with the help of plastic surgery methods is a blepharoplasty task. To date, plastic surgeons correct pathological asymmetry by implanting threads that create an internal frame that holds tissues in the desired position. This procedure is called ligature broulifting.

For browling the threads today use the materials "Silhouette" (polypropylene with cones) and "Aptos" (polypropylene with notches and knots), mesoniti. "Silhouette" and "Aptos" can be administered both under general and local anesthesia. Aptos are non-absorbable (from polypropylene) and biodegradable (from caprolac and lactic acid). The “Silhouette” threads have anchors and dissolve 1.5 years after installation. Mesothreads dissolve in 3-6 months and are used in simple cases, more conducive to the compaction of tissues than lifting. They can be installed under local anesthesia. Read more about the threads on the pages of our site. Regardless of the type of thread, according to the sensations, the installation procedure is quite painful. A few days after it, swelling keeps, hematomas are possible. Although the rehabilitation period after the installation of the filaments is usually called a period of 3 days, bruises can linger longer. It is necessary to install any threads no later than 2 weeks before the significant event, “appearance”. A good choice of a surgeon is a guarantee of a good result of eyebrow asymmetry correction with the help of a threadlift. It is possible to reduce hematomas by correctly determining the time of the operation: during menstruation, as well as a week before and a week after it, implantation is not recommended.

The choice of how to eliminate the asymmetry of eyebrows depends on the degree of the problem, as well as its cause. At different levels of eyebrows, the elimination of the physiological cause should be primary. Only when treatment is impossible, it makes sense to inject botulinum toxin or implant threads.

Diagnostics

If such a defect occurs, you should make an appointment with a plastic surgeon. Consultation of the cosmetologist is necessary. The specialist will conduct a primary examination and assess the degree of eyebrow dropping. During the diagnosis, anamnesis is made and the volume of excess skin, the fullness of the upper eyelid, the presence of protruding orbital hernia is estimated. The following test is also carried out: the eyebrow is pulled up (the eyelid lifts up), the fingers of the other hand are pressed through the lower eyelid onto the eyeball. Sometimes with a strong overhang of the eyebrows, consultation with an ophthalmologist is necessary, who may order additional diagnostic tests.

This cosmetic defect is diagnosed at the initial examination of a specialist and does not require special examinations.

The treatment of this aesthetic deviation occurs surgically. Before planning the operation, the plastic surgeon assesses the patient's health condition, age-related disorders of the skin of the forehead, temporal region, eyelids, eyebrows and cheeks. It is imperative to assess the condition of the lacrimal apparatus of the eyes. Then carry out a computer simulation.

Methods that are used to remove lowered eyebrows:

Plastic surgery. Conducted with the purpose of tightening the skin in the forehead, temporal region, eyebrows. Plastics option depends on the degree of omission.
Temporal lifting - used for older patients and middle-aged patients. It is used for the isolated omission of the tissues of the temporal region of the eyebrows.
Endoscopic lifting - used for severe ptosis.
Coronary or classical lifting - is carried out with pronounced wrinkles and obvious asymmetry.
Tightening the top 1/3 of the face.
Brow lift - held through the incision.
Transpalpebral fixation of the eyebrow - is carried out through the upper eyelid.
Laser and chemical peels.

The reasons why face asymmetry occurs

When you look in the mirror, you suddenly discover that the right and left sides of the face seem to be similar to each other, but on the other - not. Either one eyebrow does not match the other, then the eyes are somehow different: one is bigger and the other is smaller.What are the causes of facial asymmetry?

The root cause in the secret of birth. This is accompanied by the incorrect construction of the bones of the skull.
The joint responsible for the connection of the lower jaw and the temple, develops in violation.
Muscular and connective tissues interact weakly with each other.
The lower jaw develops with retardation.

Trauma, illness, inadequate care for the mouth and teeth are already acquired problems. There are a lot of them.

One of them can lead to twisted legs if the child is lying on one side for a long time.
Vision problems that are accompanied by squint.
Infections and inflammations that cause a pinching or damage to the facial nerve.
The bones of the face have grown together incorrectly after suffering a nose bridge fracture.
The absence of teeth or a violation of the bite, as well as the habit of squinting one eye, are not all causes of facial asymmetry.

Often, strong facial asymmetry occurs after a stroke. There is a paralysis of the muscles.

Symptomatology

There are two types of face asymmetry. The first one is natural. At the same time, the difference between the right and left parts of the face is, say, almost invisible. And it is natural. If you carefully look at your mirror image, you can find a slight difference in the location, for example, eyebrows or eyes.

In the left half of the face are hidden feminine, soft features, and in the right - more sharp and courageous. The difference in proportion, as experts say, should be no more than two or three millimeters.
In the second, pathological form, the asymmetry of a round face is clearly visible. Due to the weakening of mimic muscles, the cheek sags, the corner of the mouth and eyelid is lowered.

Since some muscles have lost the ability to move, the affected part looks like a mask:

Increases the size of the eye.
Mimics is misaligned.
Perhaps a speech disorder.
There are even pain.

If there are problems with the muscles of the neck, then the head leans to the side.
Asymmetry happens, both left-handed and right-handed. If it is not so noticeable, then it does not need additional treatment and the intervention of physicians.

We need a meeting with a neurologist, dentist, oculist, neurosurgeon to solve the problem: how to correct the asymmetry of the face. To continue serious treatment, physicians offer to undergo a radiography of the skull, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and possibly a neurological examination.

To improve muscle tone, people suffering from facial asymmetry are offered to do stimulating exercises. In such cases, massage helps a lot. Hide will help a woman a successful hairstyle, makeup. And men will be able to decorate a beard, mustache.

Face asymmetry correction

If in your face suddenly appeared flaws in the form of asymmetry - this is not a reason to radically change their appearance. You can just use the makeup and place the accents correctly. In this case, you need to use tonal creams and correctors. They are fat and dry. In addition, they use a highlighter in their work. It is needed in order to visually hide wrinkles or select the necessary part.

The asymmetry of the eyes will not be so noticeable if they are not outlined with a bright eyeliner. It is better to have close tones on hand, to make a soft transition from one color to another. Useful and pencils, having a contrasting color. On the inner side of the eye, which we want to visually enlarge, it would be good to apply a lighter tone. On the eyelid of the second eye, we apply an almost invisible line of dark color.

If the eyes, in your opinion, are still asymmetrical, it is necessary to place accents on eyelashes and eyebrows. Eyebrows need to give perfect shape and bend. Eyelashes can be increased Latisse. Brown pencil will always be able to shade bright eyebrows. And if you pick out an eyebrow, which is higher than the other, and with a pencil, paint on the eyebrow line, then the face will get a completely different expression.

It is necessary to have on hand tonal creams to be able to visually change the shape of the nose. The golden rule: a dark tone is applied to the places that need to be hidden or visually reduced. A lighter tone is used to emphasize certain parts of the nose. To make the nose look good, it needs a tone that is darker than natural to draw a line along the nose. And on the wings of the nose and its tip leave a light glare.

The contour pencil helps to give the lips the desired shape. And then the lips visually lose their asymmetry. Ordinary blush can be adjusted cheekbones. For this, two close in color halftone blush are needed. They are applied along the line of the cheekbone, while their height is different.

Gymnastics with face asymmetry

All people face asymmetrical, it is not a secret. With the help of exercises you can partially smooth out the asymmetry of the face. Asymmetry is visible along the lines of the eyebrows, the level of the cheekbones and nostrils, as well as the position of the corners of the mouth. These signs show which side is higher and which side is lower.
This is particularly well documented in photographs for documents.

Here is where you can see all the advantages and disadvantages of a person. One side is higher and the other is lower. If the person is right-handed, then, as a rule, the left side of the face will be higher. And if left-handed, then the right side of the face will be higher.

With the help of exercises you can partially smooth out the asymmetry of the face. In order to remove wrinkles from the forehead, it is necessary to close the hands to the “lock” and press them to the forehead, while covering the eyebrows and hands. In this position, it is necessary to raise and lower the muscles of the forehead and eyebrows. Raised eyebrow raise up, while hand hold the eyebrow, which is located above.

To align the cheekbones, you must open your mouth, as if to pronounce the sound “O”, to such an extent that you feel the tension of the muscles. The cheekbone, which is higher, at the same time adheres to the hand, and the muscle of the second cheekbone is strained. You can still strain the muscles of the cheekbones alternately.

The asymmetry of the face is very visible in the corners of the lips; therefore, it is necessary to pump up the muscle of the mouth on the corner below. A weaker corner of the mouth must be raised. To increase the load on this muscle, the same corner of the mouth needs to be pressed down with fingers and continue the exercise. Further, this exercise can be performed alternately for both muscles of the mouth.

Open your eyes wide, strain your eyelids, and hold on for three seconds in this state. Each exercise is performed 30 times. Constant training will save her. Lead a healthy lifestyle, look after yourself, love yourself and no face asymmetry will be scary.

The relationship of neurology to the causes of imbalances

Mimic asymmetry in the first place, in terms of neurology, is determined by the absence of symmetry in the hemispheres of the brain. Each of the big hemispheres regulates sensations (sensory) and the motility of the respective halves of the body differently. At the same time, the perception by one person of facial expressions of another also depends on the state of interaction between the hemispheres of the brain in a particular person.

Neurology as a science considers issues of symmetry as its subjective perception by the observer. In other words, the conclusion of one person about disproportions may be erroneous - another observer in connection with the peculiarities of the interaction between the hemispheres of his brain may come to the opposite conclusion. Therefore, the following types of asymmetry are distinguished in neurology, which are also adopted in cosmetology and plastic surgery in the final decision on how to correct the asymmetry of the face:

Static or morphological type

This kind of symmetry breaking is characterized by the presence of differences in the state of rest between the individual elements in size, structure, forms and proportions. The reasons for these differences lie in the individual features of development, the pathology of the bones of the facial skull, the pathology of the masticatory and facial muscles, the consequences of diseases and traumatic injuries.

Types of asymmetry
A Static or morphological
Dynamic or functional

Dynamic or functional type

Consisting of nonsynchronous contractions of the facial muscles and manifested during facial expressions. For example, a disproportion that is absent at rest, or a moderate imbalance at rest, respectively, appears or is significantly enhanced by smiling or pulling the lips into a tube. The dynamic form of asymmetry is associated with congenital or acquired pathology of facial muscles, residual lesions of the facial nerve of the central (cerebrovascular) or peripheral in the form of Bell's paralysis. The degree of imbalance depends on the degree of damage (neuropathy) of the facial nerve.

Causes of eyebrow dropping

Aging of the body. In youth, eyebrows have a clear contour and are kept in the right place due to good skin torsion, their appearance does not suffer from wrinkles and folds located nearby. With age, collagen fibers that support the elasticity and elasticity of tissues are produced less, which leads to deformation of the soft tissues of the frontal and temporal zones and, as a result, to the omission of the eyebrows.
The action of gravity. Ptosis or omission of skin and soft tissues due to gravity is characteristic of the soft tissues of any living organism. Omission of the skin in the area of the eyebrows becomes noticeable with age and increases with decreasing elasticity of the skin.
Atrophy and hyperelasticity of the skin and connective tissue. The inability of the skin to be toned and to keep its shape can be congenital, but more often the inability to contract after stretching is a consequence of improper metabolism, microcirculation disorders, or failure of connective tissue cells.
Damage to the facial nerve. Usually, eyebrows are lowered due to problems with the frontal branch of the facial nerve, leading to a decrease in muscle tone. If such changes affect one side of the face, then there is asymmetry - one eyebrow remains in place, while the other changes its position.
Degenerative changes muscles, ligament apparatus and layer of fatty tissue in the area of the eyebrows. Most of all on the condition of the eyebrows affects the hyperactivity of the muscles of the forehead, nose, and orbits.
External factors. This could include water and air pollution, exposure to sunlight, wind, and in addition, smoking, drinking, neglecting complete rest and unbalanced nutrition, that is, all factors that accelerate the aging of the body and lead to the appearance of wrinkles, couperose and pigmentation.

Symptoms of eyebrow dropping

There are no strict standards for eyebrow length, width and location. However, most people younger and more attractive make high eyebrows, "opening" look. If you suspect a drop in the eyebrows, you should contact a cosmetologist who may recommend consulting an ophthalmologist for advice.

The main signs of eyebrows omission:

offset down relative to the upper edge of the orbits (lowering eyebrows),
reducing the distance between the eyebrows and between the eyebrow and the ciliary edge of the eyelid,
eyebrows over the upper eyelid
sullen expression
appearance of asymmetry of the face.

Types of eyebrows

Eyebrow drop

Defect features

the eyebrow shifts completely down, hanging over the upper eyelid,

one of the eyebrows hangs over the upper eyelid, for example, the outer edge (towards the temple),

the lower edge of the brow is below the eye orbit,

provoked by relaxing tissue compounds,

the defect is characteristic of one side of the face

symmetrical, characteristic for two eyes defect.

Cosmetology methods of eyebrow lowering correction

Let us say at once that it is extremely rare for a patient to be bothered only by the omission of the eyebrows, as a rule, at the same time, complaints about the condition of the skin of the forehead, nose, and periorbital area. The result of eyebrow correction will be more convincing if anti-aging procedures are performed in parallel in these zones.

Botox injections. Best corrective The procedure to raise the eyebrows to a height of five millimeters, is the introduction of drugs containing botulinum toxin (toxic substance that blocks the transmission of nerve impulses). Botox is most often used when lowering eyebrows, although today there is a choice: drugs like Lantox and Dysport have a similar effect. Typically, the effect of the injection lasts up to six months, after which the drug must be reintroduced. The main disadvantage of the procedure is the loss of facial expressions, because after injection eyebrows are almost impossible to budge.

Reference. In cosmetology, botulinum toxin type A is used, causing temporary muscle relaxation. The effect is achieved due to the contrast - some muscles relax, while others come to tone and occupy a new location. For example, if the drug is introduced into the area adjacent to the outer corner of the eye, then by relaxing the circular muscle, you can lift the tip and beautifully bend the eyebrow.

Eyebrow lifting by bio-reinforcement. An injection procedure in which a reinforcing (retaining) mesh is created in the brow area that prevents ptosis of the eyebrows. For bio-reinforcement, fillers containing hyaluronic acid and stimulating the production of collagen fibers are used.

Thread eyebrow lifting. If it is necessary to correct the shape and slightly raise the eyebrows, apply spiral mesothreads made of absorbable material (the full biodegradation period is about six months). The mesothreads act in a manner similar to the compositions used for bio-reinforcement, and increase the production of structural proteins. However, they have an advantage: the thread is given a spiral shape, to which it tends to return after insertion, thereby tightening the eyebrow. For serious defects associated with lowering the eyebrows, use Aptos Thread 2G - absorbable thread from caprolactone (contain polylactic acid). Thanks to the notches applied to the Aptos thread, the tissues are securely held in place, which means that a lasting lifting effect and a beautiful eyebrow shape will last for at least two years.

Eyebrow lifting surgery

Today, there are several methods of plastic surgery to tighten the eyebrows, forehead and temporal area, during which ptosis of soft tissues is eliminated and wrinkles and excess skin of the upper eyelid are removed. Which one the cosmetologist decides on the method based on the level of tissue omission, the number of wrinkles on the forehead and in the area between the eyebrows, and the location of the hairline.

Temporal lifting. The technique allows to correct the defect in patients with isolated omission of a third of the eyebrow adjacent to the temple, accompanied by ptosis of the tissues of the temporal zone. Usually used in elderly or middle-aged patients.

Endoscopic lifting of the forehead and eyebrows. The operation is prescribed to middle-aged patients with ptosis of the eyebrows and temples, as well as older patients who have wrinkles of the forehead and nose bridge to the above problems. Experts consider it expedient to carry out conservative eyelid plastic surgery simultaneously with the reduction of the frontal and inter brow regions. During the operation, three to five incisions of one centimeter are made, but the seams are practically invisible due to their location in the scalp.

Coronary (classic) lifting. It is used in all the cases listed above, and in addition, this technique works well with pronounced eyebrow asymmetry. Coronary lifting allows you to “straighten” eyebrows, smooth the skin in the temporal and frontal areas, is well suited for patients with low wrinkled forehead.

Tightening through the cut above the brow. This technique is rarely used due to a noticeable scar remaining after surgery.

Transplanting eyebrow fixation. The operation consists in excision of the nose bridge muscles through the upper eyelid and is usually combined with upper blepharoplasty.

Attention! Eyebrows, raised using plastic surgery techniques, “stay in place” for a long time and fully maintain their mimic properties - they can be frowned, reduced and raised in surprise.

Common problems

You can make a kink if you pick out a few hairs at the expected bend point and along the upper contour, and draw the lower growth line with a pencil

Asymmetry is usually barely noticeable. It is usually difficult to see if you do not specifically peer or do not conduct length / width measurements. But if the difference between the arcs is pronounced, or uneven eyebrows, in your opinion, spoil the whole image, their shape is easy to fix.

If you do not know how to fix eyebrows of different heights, you can slightly lower the growth line of one of them by pulling a row of hairs from above.
The alternative is to finish the missing part with a pencil.
Permanent makeup.

Create a kink with tweezers. Attach a pencil to the wing of the nose so that it conditionally passes through the pupil. At the intersection and will be the place of bending. Here and on top of the base pull out a few hairs.
Round the arc with a kink, finish drawing its outline with a pencil.
Correct form biotatuazh or permanent makeup.

If the arcs are wide, then fix the problem easily - pull out the hairs along the lower contour of the growth line.
When eyebrows are already thin, it is better to use a pencil or contact a master of tattoo.

You can adjust the same eyebrow shape yourself!

Correction methods

Different forms can be given by nature itself or be the result of unsuccessful experiments. In any case, it makes sense to begin to grow the maximum width and length of hairs.

And after that, contact a professional master or fix the arc with your own hands. In more detail it is worth analyzing the correction methods.

Decorative cosmetics

To fill areas with sparse hair, use eye shadow and a brush with a beveled nap.

And what to do with different eyebrows, if their thickness and width do not allow to correct the shape, using tweezers? The ideal solution "for every day" will be a pencil and shadow.

Note! Choose products specifically designed for brows. Pencil or eye shadow will look unnatural.

So, if the hairs are sparse or completely absent in some places, use decorative cosmetics. Using a pencil, underline the lower growth line, shading empty areas if necessary. Special shadows or powder fill the "body" of the eyebrow.

If you use a pencil to fill in your eyebrow, draw it with strokes rather than a solid line.

In order not to carry out the procedure of correction with decorative cosmetics every morning, you can make biotatuazh. Special eyebrow paints, including those based on henna, are used for this. In addition to the hairs, they dye and skin.

The effect persists for 2-3 weeks. Gradually the coloring composition is washed off, and therefore the procedure will have to be repeated.

Even gray hair on the eyebrows can be successfully dyed with special compositions.

What to do - if the eyebrows of different shapes, knows the master of permanent makeup. Tattoo is a temporary tattoo that is made with special paint. The result usually lasts up to two years.

Permanent makeup will be a great solution if your hairs are light or rare. The master seems to re-create the arc, and therefore their original form does not matter.

The most commonly used one of the two tattoo techniques. The first is a soft shading. The master fills the eyebrow evenly with coloring pigment.

Hair tattoo technique: photo before and after

The second is a hair tattoo. In this case, the arc is drawn with strokes. Master imitates hairs, their length and even the direction of growth. The result looks more natural and natural.

The average price for a service in the cabin is 8,000 rubles.

Also popular is the service for lamination of eyebrow hairs. Price - from 1000 rubles.

Eyebrow shapes for each face type

And yet, what arc is ideal for you? After all, there are different forms of eyebrows, and therefore before the correction procedure, you should choose the most suitable option.

Different eyebrow shapes can drastically change your appearance.

The most common types are:

curved - have a very high lift and short tail,
straight or horizontal - their bend is barely noticeable, and the whole arc lies almost on one line,
drop or "eyebrows house" - the outer part is located below the base,
kinked or ascending - the most common, universal form.

So, pick up eyebrows for different types of faces. It is better for round-shaped owners to dwell on curved arcs - they allow you to visually extend an oval. However, you should avoid too sharp outlines and transitions.

The optimal shape for each type of face

A square face looks more harmonious if the eyebrows are curved or ascending. Here you can experiment with a high lift and a pronounced kink. But from the thin arcs should be abandoned.

For an oval face fit straight eyebrows. You can even slightly increase the distance between them. But from all kinds of kinks better to give up, because the face will seem too elongated.

Finally, the triangular shape. Here it is more correct to stop the choice on the classical form. Rising brows with a smooth bend will make your image harmonious and attractive.

Universal solution

Definition of the classical form

You have already decided what to do - if the eyebrows are different, and even choose the appropriate method of correction?

Our instructions will help give them a classic shape:

the base of the arc should be on the line drawn from the wing of the nose through the inner corner of the eye,
using a pencil to determine the break point, as described above,
the tail of the eyebrow should be at the intersection of the arc with a line running from the wing of the nose through the outer corner of the eye.

Note! Eyebrow tail should not fall below the line on which its base is located. Otherwise the look will seem gloomy.

Eyebrows determine facial expression, therefore it is important to choose their correct shape.

Conclusion

So now you know how to make the eyebrows the same - if they are different. Small tricks will allow you to get the perfect shape that best emphasizes the features of your face. Even more relevant and interesting information can be found in the video in this article. And if you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them in the comments to the material.

Hello, dear friends. One of the worst moments in my life was a time when my mom had a stroke. Fortunately, we were able to quickly assist, so the consequences were not catastrophic. Mom quickly recovered. And only one consequence after a stroke caused inconvenience for a long time - face asymmetry.

But over time we managed. And the main assistance was provided by facial gymnastics against asymmetry. It turns out that it helps in many cases.

What is considered pathological asymmetry?

A slight discrepancy between the right and left halves of the face is present in each. Differences are so insignificant that you can notice them only if you specifically peer. The right eye may be slightly wider than the left, one ear a bit higher than the other. Have you noticed?

If the difference is less than 2 mm (or 3 degrees), then this is not a pathology and does not require correction. So our face is gaining points in the column of individuality.

There is an interesting test for determining how different the left and right halves of our appearance are. I experimented on myself: the result is amazing.

It is necessary to take a picture, looking straight into the lens, provided there is uniform illumination. Photo uploaded to the graphic editor. Vertical line divide the face in half by making two images.

And in each we make a mirror image for the halves, thus obtaining a whole oval of the face. I did not recognize myself!

But before it had never occurred to me that I had a slight asymmetry. I agree on the easy

I will not show my results, but look at the photos of Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds. Isn’t it like three different people? But handsome Brad Pitt (pictured above) is almost symmetrical.

But, alas, sometimes the features of the left and right too differ. And they become the cause of hostility to the exterior. So, there is a need to work on yourself. Fortunately, the output can be found almost always.

What asymmetry in the face can be overcome by gymnastics

Let's look at the causes of this phenomenon. Traditionally they are divided into 2 parts.

1. Congenital

If the bones of the jaw, skull, joints of the face, connective or muscle tissue develop abnormally, this leads to a distortion of the facial features.

If the distortion is small, it will help to make invisible hairstyle and makeup for a woman, beard and mustache for a man.

In other cases, most likely, correction in the form of surgical intervention will be required. Modern plastic does wonders, and is able to fix almost everything.

2. Acquired

Here, the source of asymmetry in an adult or a child can be trauma, improper “possession” of one or another part of the face, or disease. Most often it is:

the result of strong strabismus,
inflammation of the facial nerve, which can occur from walking without a hat in the winter, from a draft in the summer or even from stress,
clamping nerve fibers, for example, because of a stroke - and I must say that today it can be not only an old person, but even a teenager,
dental problems, when the entire row of teeth is missing in the jaw, or the wrong bite has developed,
fractures of the jaw, other facial bones, their incorrect splicing,
torticollis in children,
bad habits and facial expressions, when a person chews exclusively on one side or always sleeps in the same position, or regularly squints with one eye.

How to correct face asymmetry

What to do if a stroke or inflammation of a nerve led to the fact that part of the face has lost sensitivity and curvature is clearly observed?

- First of all, we go to the doctors to determine the exact cause and agree on the treatment.

You need to consult with the following experts:

a dentist
orthodontist,
an ophthalmologist,
maxillofacial surgeon,
by a neurologist.

Unless a correction of the pathology is prescribed surgically, most likely, massage and special facial exercises will be shown, which I want to tell you as much as possible in this article.

Gymnastics against face asymmetry

Exercises are fortifying, which have a beneficial effect on the skin and muscles, promote rejuvenation, and fight wrinkles and second chin. But there is also a special facial gymnastics against asymmetry.

In any case, you can do them at home. The first gymnastics - as exercises, 1-2 times a day. The second - depending on the state. In principle, the more often, the better, leaning on the problem areas.

Complex fortifying exercises

Palms on the forehead, raise and lower eyebrows, as if greatly surprised, 10 times.
We strain the eyelids, opening our eyes as wide as possible for 3 seconds, then relax. Repeat 10 times.
Inflate the cheeks, and then exhale sharply, making them sunken, 10 times.
Alternately, we inflate one cheek 10 cheek.
We stretch our lips in a very wide smile, exposing our teeth. Then we collect in a tubule. Repeat 10 times.
10 times push the jaw forward.
10 times we move the jaw left and right.
10 times open and close the mouth.
Lower lip closes the top, as much as possible pulling the bottom up. Feel the tension of the skin under the chin. Repeat 10 times.
Extend the chin forward, straining the muscles of the neck. Repeat 10 times.

The complex of exercises against asymmetry

For the affected side, repeat each exercise 20 times. For another - 10 times.
Close your eyes tightly, then relax.
Putting your fingers on the eyebrows at the temple, make up and down eyes.
Frowning eyebrows - slowly, with serious effort.
Extend eyebrows up to the limit, at the same time lifting the eyelids.
Fingers on the wings of the nose, through the resistance to draw in air.
Closing lips, pull them into a thin thread, saying "and."
Alternately, we smile now with the left and then the right half of the lips.
Fold the tongue into a tube, open mouth, inhale, exhale.
We drive the tongue along the inner circle, leading between the muscles of the cheeks and the teeth.

Acquired asymmetry can be corrected without surgery. But if these are consequences of the disease and after six months they do not disappear, then you should consult a doctor and consult about the state of the muscle. You may need to solve the problem surgically. But often gymnastics is enough.

And now let's digress a little.

Stars with face asymmetry

If all our celebrities had perfect symmetrical faces, they would be boring to look at. However, it is doubtful that they would then become famous. Easy asymmetry gives charm, makes the face special and recognizable.

Look at Meryl Streep: her nose is slightly deflected to the side, like the oval of her mouth. We see the same thing with Harrison Ford, and he also has more than one line of ears. Handsome Jim Morrison owned an uneven lip line: on the right they are much thinner.

And even the most famous models of the world - from the category of those who are famous throughout the world - have asymmetrical nuances in the face, despite their almost perfect appearance.

It is enough to evaluate Cindy Crawford's face: her wonderful smile is far from the mathematical ideal of symmetry. The piquancy also adds a rather small mole on the lip.

So you should never aim for a faceless ideal. And it is better to always remain oneself, correcting only that which really hinders living and feeling happy. Read this blog - we will learn to enjoy life together!

"The rule of the golden section." Face Asymmetry Correction

The fact of asymmetry in the external structure of the face and body of a man was known to ancient artists and sculptors of the ancient world and was used by them to impart expressiveness and spirituality to their works. Advocates of asymmetry believed that it revives the face, gives it great charm, expressiveness, originality and beauty. The asymmetry of the face of the statue of Venus de Milo, created by an ancient Greek sculptor, is expressed by the displacement of the nose to the right of the middle line, the high position of the left auricle and the left eye socket, and a smaller distance from the middle line of the left eye socket than the right one. Meanwhile, supporters of symmetry criticized the asymmetry of the forms of this universally accepted standard of female beauty. The left half of her face is slightly elongated in the vertical axis and has softer, smoothed outlines.

This is well known to public figures, who in front of the camera lens always tend to turn the most favorable perspective. This natural asymmetry of the face is called individual. It is invisible to the naked eye and gives the personality uniqueness and charm.

The proof of the presence of asymmetry of a normal human face is the method of creating the image of the same person from the two left and two right halves. Thus, two additional portraits with absolute symmetry, but significantly different from the original, are created. The human being as a living organism is characterized by bilateral symmetry of the right and left sides of the body. At the same time, this symmetry is not ideal, a vivid example is the dominance of the functions of the right hand in right-handers and left-handers in left-handers, some difference in the size of the feet.But if minor differences in the limbs are perceived as the norm, then the asymmetry of the face often becomes a source of serious psychological discomfort.

Absolutely symmetrical persons do not exist, and a small difference in the proportions between the right and left halves of it is subconsciously perceived by us as harmony. In scientific circles there are more than 25 reasons for the fact that the right and left sides of the face are not completely identical. Roughly speaking, any asymmetry of the face can be either congenital, due to the peculiarities of the structure of the bones of the skull, or acquired. Congenital abnormalities are explained by heredity and fetal intrauterine developmental defects. Subsequently, muscle fibers can make them completely invisible, and sometimes, on the contrary, emphasize the shortcomings.

The reasons for the acquired facial asymmetry are varied. Most often, these are injuries and postponed diseases, such as:
- clips of nerve endings (for example, after a stroke), inflammation of the facial nerve,
- visual impairment (strabismus, a big difference in visual acuity between the right and left eye),
- diseases of the teeth (abnormal bite, absence of teeth on one side of the jaw, forced chewing on one side),
- torticollis, congenital or acquired in childhood.

A significant role is played by our habits, mimic and physiological. If you constantly squint one eye, chew the gum with one side of the jaw, sleep only on a certain side, sooner or later it will affect the face.

Not every manifestation of a person’s imbalance requires medical intervention. If the reason for the asymmetry of the face lies in a weak muscle tone, facial gymnastics and massage with an emphasis on certain facial muscles help well. Perfectly hides fine flaws well-chosen hairstyle. Women have a powerful weapon in the fight against their own imperfection is permanent makeup.

With serious pathological changes, medicine comes to the rescue. How to correct the asymmetry of the face in each case, advise the consultation of a specialist: neuropathologist, ophthalmologist, dentist, maxillofacial surgeon, orthodontist. The main task is to find out the cause, and then the treatment of the asymmetry of the face will be to eliminate it, and if this is not possible, to correct the consequences. Permanent makeup in this sense is not the last resort, but its possibilities are truly enormous.

What does facial asymmetry tell psychologists? About how great the difference between your actions, lifestyle and the scope of your emotions, about the level of inner harmony of a person. After all, the right side of the face reflects the work of the left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for logic, thinking, the practical side of life. The left side is a projection of feelings and experiences, and they are under the control of the right hemisphere. Thus, a portrait from the right halves is called "life", and from the left "spiritual." I analyzed the faces of 100 clients who applied for the PM to the salon. Severe asymmetry in the position of the eyebrows was observed in 63 cases, the palpebral fissure in 55, the red border of the upper lip was asymmetrical in 60 clients.

What is it - the perfect face?

The first thing that people pay attention to is the volume and shape of all the surrounding objects. The form, which is based on the combination of symmetry and the "golden section", creates a sense of harmony and beauty in a person.

The “golden section rule” is a harmonious proportion in which the whole always consists of two main parts that are in a certain relation to each other relative to the whole.

The “golden section” is a section of a segment into two parts in such a way that the length of the larger part refers to the length of the smaller part, as well as the length of the entire segment to the length of the larger part, and can be calculated by a factor of 1.62 or 100% = 38% + 62%.

The principle of the "golden section" is revealed as a universal canon of structural and functional perfection of the whole and its parts in many areas, and in the first place - in nature, art, architecture and even in mathematics.

The “golden section rule” is applicable also in permanent make-up in face correction and helps to visually bring closer to more harmonious proportions and shape. Thus, you can adjust the oval of the face, the size and shape of the eyes, nose and eyebrows.

The harmonious distance between the eyes, equal to the length of the cut eyes, can be adjusted using visual techniques.

The main method of visual correction in make-up is based on the use of the principle of light and dark tones. Dark and cold colors reduce the volume, alienate and emphasize the form, and light and warm tones increase volume, bring closer and move apart, blurring the boundaries.

Makeup and the “golden section rule” for face correction

So, we perceive a woman's face as perfect and beautiful, if all his features are located at a certain distance from each other, i.e. subordinate to the “golden section rule”, in the numerical ratio it can be written as a ratio of 1: 1.618 (F number).

An attractive female eyebrow starts from a vertical line drawn through the medial angle of the eye (A). It is located above the bone edge of the orbit at a distance F from the pupil and is characterized by an upward direction of 10-20 degrees from the head to the tail (B). The bend or highest point in a place equal to the distance between the inner corners of the eyes (X) is in proportion F to the entire length of the eyebrow (the point intersected by a line drawn from the base of the wing of the nose tangential to the lateral edge of the pupil (C). Eyebrow is located above the tail. The length of the eyebrow is equal to F from the distance between the medial canthuses of the eye. The edge of the tail of the eyebrow is bounded by a line drawn from the lateral part of the base of the wing of the nose through the outer corner of the eye (D). The outer part of the eyebrow is at some elevation. pronounced asymmetry are more visible, and at first glance at the person we intuitively always pay attention primarily on the eyebrows.

But do not forget that it is not always possible to make perfectly smooth eyebrows. It is permissible to speak of eyebrows as about the most symmetrical, but not ideally smooth. The mimicry of our face creates a group of muscles that contract in different ways. For example, if the left eyebrow is raised higher than the right eyebrow during a conversation, then in a calm state it will drop lower. While the right can stand still, not moving at all. In such cases, trying to find a middle ground. Also, very often one half of the face is more convex, this applies, in general, to both the bone skeleton and the superciliary arch in particular, on which the eyebrow is located. On two surfaces of different convex surfaces it is impossible to draw symmetric lines.

Often with age, the natural asymmetry of the face becomes more pronounced, and with the help of tattoo you can achieve good results. For example, raise a lowered, drooping eyebrow: the result of the procedure can be compared with plastic surgery.

After the performed PM procedure on a complex face, special attention should be paid to photo documentation, since The client, as a rule, examines himself in the mirror more intently, assessing the recreated symmetry of the proportions, noticing at the same time much more nuances that he had not paid attention to before.

The stereotype about the attractiveness of overly enlarged and disproportionate lips has spread through the media in recent decades. The art of lip PM is a delicate correction to achieve an optimal proportion of the height and width (length) of the lips, perhaps, and recreate a white roller, rather than simply increasing the lips at the whim of the client. With ideal F-proportions of the lips, the red border is limited by a vertical line drawn down from the medial edge of the iris or from the medial edge of the pupil with pronounced chewing muscles and a wide lower part of the face. The vertical size of the red border of the lips also has an F proportion: the height of the upper lip refers to the height of the lower one as 1: 1.618. The ratio of the distance from one elevation of Cupid's bow to another and the distance from Cupid's bow to the commissure of the lips on the same side is also 1: 1.618.

The distance between the top points of Cupid's bow is equal to F the distance from the base of the columella to the middle of the upper border of the red border.

Philosopher Thomas Aquinas postulated that beauty is the embodiment of harmony, proportion and purity. The true beauty of the face evokes a sense of pleasure on an emotional level and causes the observer a high degree of attraction.

It is very important that specialists in permanent makeup have a well-developed sense of beauty, otherwise they will be completely satisfied with the achievement of low goals and standard results instead of maximally revealing and realizing the individual characteristics of each person. A review of a huge number of articles devoted to the study of beauty allowed us to identify 7 key traits that seem to be evaluated subconsciously. Three parameters of this magnificent seven - the shape of the eyebrows, eyes and lips, which can be adjusted using PM.

To date, there is no consensus on what kind of deviation in facial proportions is considered asymmetry and where the boundary of physiological asymmetry is not in need of correction and pathological, requiring our intervention, and perhaps even the intervention of the maxillofacial surgeon.

So, is the asymmetry originally inherent in all of us beautiful or not? Of course, the client’s desire and hope to hide small defects with the help of PM and to achieve a more symmetrical appearance is natural and serves as an indication for the procedure.

But aesthetic dermopigmentation as a direction of medicine constantly puts the master in front of the question of the expediency of carrying out a PM procedure for patients, depending on the degree of facial imbalances and asymmetry, and also, importantly, on the client's psycho-emotional state. I'd like to emphasize that the depressed state of the client, which is the cause of dissatisfaction with their own appearance, reduces the degree of customer satisfaction with the results of the procedure and in more than 90% does not contribute to reducing dissatisfaction with their own appearance.

Of course, by smoothing the asymmetry or imbalance of the face with adequate clients with the help of PM, we increase the client, as well as ourselves, self-esteem and mood. But only with a competent assessment of all risks and a “client-master” trust, we will be satisfied with our work, and the client will get a more symmetrical face, albeit with the help of our little artistic and mathematical tricks. However, a slight asymmetry of the face only gives it attractiveness, liveliness and individuality, and therefore you should not strive for absolute symmetry. Of course, the understanding of beauty is as individual as beauty itself, but one should never forget that the feeling of self-confidence does not directly depend on beauty.

As early as the 15th century, the famous Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci said: “I insulted God and humanity because my work did not reach the level that it could reach.” And, despite the master's drawings, in which he displayed the divine proportions of a human face, they are still considered to be the standard today. Indeed, in nature there are no absolutely symmetrical objects, in any of them there is always a struggle between symmetry and asymmetry.
