Botox is not used to lower, but raise eyebrows
Unless there is a very unusual condition such as overcompensation of forehead muscles after botox injection for other muscles, botox is not used to drop eyebrows. Unless the eyebrows are elevated for you compared to your baseline, the botox injected to lower your eyebrows may lower your eyelid as well as the eyebrows do help hold up the upper eyelid. You may indeed, find that you can't open your eyelids enough. It may be difficult to apply eyeshadow without manually using one hand to...

Botox to raise eyebrows
This can be done.It should not effect the ability to open your eyes but the botox can migrate and cause soem droopy eyelids but this is not usual.

Botox in the Forehead: Shaping the Eyebrow
Botox can be injected in multiple different patterns in the eyebrow in order to shape the eyebrow. I inject Botox in multiple different patterns depending on what my patients want and how their eyebrows react to botox. Botox can be injected in a pattern to lift and lower the eyebrow. The finesse of Botox can really be appreciated when you bounce around and experience different injectors and their technique. I have multiple patients who can't get in to see me and they go to other...

Botox and brow position
You pose an interesting question, as I usually use Botox to give a little brow lift, rather than lower the eyebrows. Before you consider getting some Botox to lower your brows (it can be done) I would have a consultation with a good facial plastic surgeon in order to analyze your appearance. In general, few people will benefit from a lowering of the brows, as it tends to make the face look more tired. It may be that your best results would involve some other technique...

Lowering eyebrows with botox?
Most patients want their eyebrow raised or kept in the same position as opposed to lowering them. But Botox may affect opening the eyes wide because if the forehead is treated then commonly the frontalis muscle which lifts the brow may be blocked.

Injecting Botox into the Brow- Risks?
I must admit, I've never injected botox intending to "lower" the eyebrows. Usually, we try to stay high enough on the forehead to keep from dropping the brow. The closer you get to the brow, the higher risk of accidentally or, in your case, purposely dropping the brow. As you get really close to the brow, another potential side effect is to cause weakening of the muscle that lifts the eyelid. This can cause drooping of the eyelid, something known as...

Why would you want to lower your eyebrows?
It is very likely that if you were successful in having someone so freeze your forehead that your eyebrows fell, the head of the eyebrows might actually be more crowded. Over toxing the glabellar area is reported to cause a spread of the eyebrows. However, for most this effect is barely noticeable.

Would Botox in my Eyebrows Affect How Wide I Can Open my Eyes?
It could. Botox weakens the underlying muscle and weaker eyebrows could droop making the upper eyelids appear more full. Botox and the other neurotoxins (Dysport and Xeomin) need to be injected by an MD that understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty.

Effect of Botox on Eyebrows
Without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to answer whether you are a good candidate for Botox. Additionally, I would need to see you animating as Botox works on dynamic (moving) muscles. With that said, Botox can be used to help contour the eyebrows but you should be injected by an experienced injector. Also, treating just one area of the face can throw off the balance. You should treat the crow's feet area, glabella area and forehead to maintain...

Lowering eyebrows with Botox
This is a new question--most patients want to use Botox to elevate their brows and have a fresher, more youthful appearance. Without photographs, it is impossible to evaluate the reason you want this treatment and whether it would be appropriate.

Eyebrow position after Botox
Botox can be used to lower the eyebrow by weakening the forehead muscles which elevate and support the position of the eyebrow. Too much Botox may result in the eyebrow position being too low however, which most people do not like. Given properly, Botox should not affect the position or movement of the upper eyelid which would affect how wide you could open your eyes.
Thank you for your question and good luck.

Botox and eyebrow position
Botox can be used to either elevate or depress the eyebrow height depending upon the places where it is injected. A side effect of botox is ptosis which is lowering of the eyelid itself if it is not injected properly or if it diffuses into the wrong position. I would make sure you go to someone with experience in placing botox into different locations.
