Botox brow lift is very effective

Hi,

Botox works by chemically paralyzing muscle groups.  If your doctor wants certain portions of the face to be positioned in a certain direction, he or she can use Botox to paralyze the muscle groups with cause the face to move in the opposite direction.

So, in the case of the brows, Botox can be used to perform a brow lift by targeting the depressor muscles of the brow.  Along the inner portion of the brow, this is the corrugator, depressor supercilii and procerus muscles, which also are responsible for causing deep furrows.  Along the outer portion of the brow, it's the tail of the orbicularis oculii muscle.

Make sure you see an experienced Botox injector with in-depth knowledge of facial and brow anatomy.  

Best of luck.

While Botox can make the brow droop, it can also cause an elevation of the brow.

There are several muscle groups which work to move the brow. There are a set which moves the brows up and a set which moves the brows down. By selectively injecting the muscles which move the brow down, there is unopposed action of the muscles which move the brow up. Hence - a brow lift.

While this works well, the effects are temporary and minimal. For patients with severe brow ptosis and fat pseudoherniation, a surgical brow lift may still be the best result.

Caution also must be used when injecting the muscles that pull the brow down as these can be close to the orbital rim. Injection too near the orbital rim can result in migration of the Botox into the upper eyelid and cause a temporary eyelid droop.
