If the brow drop can be alleviated by injecting the antagonistic muscle, is it advisable to approach her for the correction, or would this be better left for the doctor?

The age of the patient, current brow position, skin tone and other issues have to be assessed. Then and only then can the lateral forehead be paralyzed.
