Brow lift with Botox

The location of the brow on your face is a function of the muscles above the brow contracting and raising the brow and the muscles below contracting and lowering the brow.

Get a browlift with Botox/Dysport

Great question. You can get a browlift usually with Botox/Dysport depending on where it is injected.

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.

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.

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.

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.
