Botox injections can give a modest lateral brow elevation

York Jay Yates, 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?

The lateral orbicularis muscle (muscle around the eyes involved with squinting) is a depressor of the lateral brow.  Paralyzing this portion of the muscle allows the brow elevators to have a greater effect on brow position.
