Do I Run the Risk of Eyebrow Drooping if I Have Botox Injected in Glabella?

Im getting married next month and decided do botox in glabella. Ive read that is safer because there is minimal risk of eyebrow drop or any other complications. Does injection of botox in glabella can cause any major complications, Im concern as Im getting married and want look my best.

A: Eyebrow Droop After Botox Injection to Glabella

Korki,

Congratulations on your big day!  You can proceed with Botox treatment of your glabella knowing that eyebrow droop is extremetly rare after Botox injection to the glabella.  The most common side effect (although most patients don't experience it) is bruising.  If you get your injection a couple of weeks before your wedding, the Botox will have time to take full effect and the bruising will resolve.

Will Botox Take Care of Glabellar Lines with Thin Skin?

I am only 29 and have noticeable glabellar lines that are present even when I don't furrow my brow. I also have thin skin. I am headed for a botox consultation in a couple weeks, but am wondering - will botox take care of these lines? They're not extremely deep, but more noticeable than most before/after photos I've seen of others with "problems" in this area. I'm just wondering what to expect.

A: Botox is only part of the solution.

Hello,

Botox is used to reduce the appearance of dynamic or motion-induced wrinkling.  With time, skin overlying areas of facial motion like the forehead, glabella, crow's foot, and mouth areas shows fixed wrinkles.  This is due to multiple factors including collagen loss and sun damage.  In my practice botox is used in combination with resurfacing procedures such as chemical peels and laser to address both the mobile and fixed components of skin lines.  Additionally if volume loss is making the wrinkles worse, injectible filler can be used to counteract this.  Here in Denver, we have a young population, but with our sun exposure and low humidity, we see skin aging earlier than other parts of the country.  29 is not too young to be proactive!

Warmest regards,

Dr. Shah

Can I Have my Eyebrow Rasied by Botox? (photo)

I am a caucasian male, age 47 with fair skin. I would like to have the eyebrow raised by Botox, (see photo) is this possible, ?, where would the injection be, would it give me a surprised look (I don't want that outcome). How many units ?. And how much of a lift could I realistically achieve ?

A: Yes you can get a minor eyebrow lift.

Botox is an option for lifting the outside of the brow.  Small amounts of botox (2-4 units) can be used to weaken a muscle that depresses the lateral eyebrow causing it to lift a little in response.  Positioning of the injection will help avoid a surprised look.  The amount of raise is variable from patient to patient and typically only a few millimeters.
