Botox Lift: Injecting the tail of the brow

Stephen Prendiville, MD answers: What is a "Botox lift" or "Botox Brow Lift"?

I thought that Botox could make your face sag more, so how is a Botox Lift even possible? How does a Botox Brow lift work?

I believe that the Botox brow lift you are referring to is a tail of the brow injection.  The mechanism which allows this to happen is via chemical relaxation of a muscle that functions to pull the brow down (the superolateral orbicularis oculi).  This functions to spring the brow upward, lifting the lateral brow.

In addition, use of Botox in the glabella region (the 11's) causes perceptible widening of the space between the brows, producing the illusion of a lift and a more relaxed look to the brow complex.
