Botox if injected properly can often create a chemical brow lift in most patients. Botox acts by weakening the muscles that cause frowning and scowling. If botox is used to treat the depressor muscles of the forehead that cause scowling or frowning and the other forehead muscles on the side are left alone, this will often result in arching or raising of the eyebrows especially where they tend to hang over the outer aspects of the eyelids. This is especially a positive feature in females who often like their eyebrows to arch upwards. Additional elevation of the eyebrows can be achieved by placing some botox just under the lateral edges of the eyebrows as well once again leaving the upper outside part of the eyebrow muscles alone. The results are variable and some patients will get more of a lifting effect than others depending upon their eyebrow position and heaviness of their eyes. Too much botox as you noted can result in the eyebrows drooping also. In either case, the maximum duration of effect for brow lifting is about 3-6 months depending upon the individual.
