Brow lift

With age, many people may notice that their eyebrows have begun to drop, resulting in a lack of space between the eye opening and the eyebrow. This gives an inanimate appearance, and may suggest to the viewer that the person is tired or exhausted. Many women find it difficult to apply makeup on the eyelid due to the narrow distance as well. In addition, the eyebrow loses its attractive straight shape and takes a descending shape. Can this be corrected? Fortunately the answer is: Yes, thanks to Dr. Basil Hassouneh, a specialist facial plastic surgeon in Dubai and Canada.
