The eyebrow is one of the most important structures of the face from an aesthetic point of view. As age increases, the brow changes its shape and position. This age-related change decreases the vitality, youth, and expression associated with the aesthetically ideal face. This article describes changes in eyebrow position in Indian women with aging.
This study recruited 80 female subjects for each of the required age ranges (20-30 years and 50-60 years) from the staff and outpatient settings at a tertiary care center in central India. Women who had any condition that could affect the measurements were excluded from the study. Standardized digital photographs in frontal view were captured with the forehead and eyebrows in a maximally relaxed position and with the eyes open. Eyebrow position was determined by measuring from a reference horizontal plane drawn between the medial canthi to vertical points on the upper brow margin at the medial canthus, pupil, and lateral canthus. The result was statistically analyzed.
With aging, the least rise was seen in the lateral segment, which was not statistically significant. This difference was statistically significant at the medial and midbrow positions (p < 0.05). In the younger group, the lateral brow position was significantly higher than the midbrow (p < 0.05). In contrast, the older group showed a nonsignificant difference in the position of the midbrow and the lateral brow. The mean horizontal distance of the brow apex from the midpoint of the pupil for young women was 15.2 mm.
The study results imply that the brow does not drop in women with age. It is recommended that in most instances, the lateral brow should be preferentially elevated, whereas the medial brow should undergo minimal or no elevation. Most patients require brow reshaping by restoration of the brow apex lateral to the level of the outer corneal limbus. By comparing eyebrow shape and position in both young and mature women, this study provides objective data that can be used to plan forehead-rejuvenating procedures in Indian women.
从美学角度来看，眉毛是面部最重要的结构之一。随着年龄的增长，眉毛的形状和位置会发生变化。这种与年龄相关的变化会降低与审美理想面部相关的活力、年轻和表情。本文描述了印度女性随年龄增长眉毛位置的变化。
本研究从印度中部一家三级护理中心的工作人员和门诊环境中招募了每个所需年龄组（20-30 岁和 50-60 岁）的 80 名女性受试者。患有任何可能影响测量的疾病的女性被排除在研究之外。在额头和眉毛处于最大限度放松的位置且眼睛睁开的情况下，使用标准化的正面数字照片进行拍摄。从内侧眼角到上眉缘内侧眼角、瞳孔和外侧眼角的垂直点之间绘制的参考水平平面测量眉毛位置。对结果进行了统计学分析。
随着年龄的增长，外侧段的上升最少，这没有统计学意义。在内侧和中眉位置，这种差异具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。在年轻组中，外侧眉位置明显高于中眉（p<0.05）。相比之下，老年组中中眉和外侧眉的位置差异无统计学意义。年轻女性眉尖到瞳孔中点的水平距离平均值为 15.2 毫米。
研究结果表明，随着年龄的增长，女性的眉毛不会下垂。建议在大多数情况下，应优先抬高外侧眉，而内侧眉应进行最小或不抬高。大多数患者需要通过将眉尖恢复到外角膜缘水平的外侧来重塑眉形。通过比较年轻和成熟女性的眉毛形状和位置，本研究提供了可用于计划印度女性额部年轻化手术的客观数据。
