Botox is the best treatment for treatment of lines between your eyebrows. Altough temporary, it can raise your eyebrows and make you younger looking and more open.
Botox is your best treatment, but you can also try a filler
Amir Moradi, MD answers: How to get rid of "angry look" on my face?
I’m told over and over again “what’s wrong”. I won’t even be in a deep thought. The furrow between my eyes is the culprit. I know Botox is used to remove these furrows, but I hate the idea of going to a dermatologist every several months to get an injection. I can’t imagine fitting it into my hectic schedule. What alternatives are there for my angry-look problem?

A: Corrugator myotomy as alternative for Botox
3 months ago
MadEyes, a corrugator myotomy/myectomy procedure may be what you are looking for as an alternative to Botox treatment. Unless you are planning to have a concurrent brow lift procedure (where the corrugator is approached from the hairline), the most common approach is going through the upper eyelid crease. The underlying muscles that cause your frown lines include the paired corrugators and the procerus that sits in between them. Cutting the muscle and resecting (removing) a short segment will significantly weaken the muscle movement and, thus, your ability to frown. One of the main risks of the procedure is numbness that can develop temporarily or permanently above the brow region as a result of injury to the sensory nerve traversing the area. Another possibility that should be explained in advance is the chance of scar forming across the resected muscle. In some cases, this effectively bridges the muscle and allows movement (and frown lines) to return. It would be worth the effort to research local doctors thoroughly to find the few that perform this not so common procedure.
