Get a browlift with Botox/Dysport

Great question. You can get a browlift usually with Botox/Dysport depending on where it is injected. To get a lateral browlift you would treat the crow's feet area as well as a little under the lateral aspect of the eyebrow. To get a medal lift you could do a typical glabella treatment. Please understand that you would diminish the results if you also has part of the forehead treated because that is the muscle that raises the eyebrow and if you relax that muscle... more

Botox Browlift

In order to raise the brow with botox, we need to weaken the muscles that pull the brow down. These are the corrugator muscles and lateral orbicularis occuli muscles located on either side of the eyebrow. When these muscle stop contracting, it allows the brow to raise naturally. Your physician will give you a detailed plan based on your exact anatomy. Best Wishes, Neil Zemmel, MD

Creating a browlift with Botox

Ultimately, where Botox is injected to create your browlift will depend on which muscles activate to pull your brow down. Your injecting surgeon/dermatologist can asses and show you which muscles need to be injected to give you the kind of browlift you want.

Botox brow lift

There are two zones that normally pull down on the forehead. If we prevent this contraction, than the opposing muscle groups of the forehead help lift up the eyebrows and forehead skin. One area is the upper outer Crows feet area in the tail of the eyebrow and the other is the glabella, between the eyebrows.

Chemical brow lift with botulinum toxin (dysport,etc)

The outer portions of the eye muscles (crow's feet area) pull down the brow when forcibly contracted or squeezed. By injecting them with Botulinum toxin, it can weaken or limit this effect creatin the appearance of a brow lift.

BRow lifting

To lift the brow, you have to neutralize the muscles that pull the brow down. Usually injecting just below the lateral eyebrow helps to lift the brow.

Where to inject Botox for brow lift

Botox is injected in the frown area to lift the central part of the brow, and it is injected near the tail ends of the eyebrows to lift this area of the brow. Sometimes, a few drops are also placed in the central mid brow to accentuate the lift at the sides of the brow.

Botox injected to create a browlift

Areas are lateral inferior eyebrow and high in the forehead. But the injector can give you a better description and show the areas. From MIAMI DR. B

For maximum lift, it is both!

Your board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon will know the pattern when he/she sees how your muscles move. Be sure to let her/him know that your main objective is a brow lift. Let them know if you want a lateral brow lift or more of a total lift.

Injection point for Botox Browlift

The injection point is different depending on the type of lift and which muscle you use to elevate your brows. Most commonly the injections is placed right under the lateral portion of the brow thus enabling the Frontalis or forehead muscle to pull up the brow. If you have a fair amount of atrophy the injections may be above the brow. Don't get caught up on a specific spot. It is all about your particular anatomy and if you want a rounded, arched... more

Botox Brow Lift

Lifting the brow withBotox is straight forward if you understand the local muscle anatomy and interactions. The brow is lifted by the Frontalis muscle of the forehead. This lifting is opposed by a side portion of the orbicularis oculi omega shaped muscle around the eye (along the side of the brow) and a portion ofthe muscles causing snarling on the base of the nose. If these brow depressing muscles are weakened the brows will be lifted by the unopposed Frontalis muscles. For this reason you... more
