Which Botox Placement, or Combination Of, Results in Flat Eyebrows?
I have had upper forehead, crows feet, and 11's treated for a few years. Not always at the same time. Occasionally I get flat eyebrows that look a little heavy. What causes this? What adjustment do you recommend?

Botox and flat eyebrows
Over time, women who have had their forehead and glabella treated may start to notice that the exact same forehead treatment starts to make their eyebrows flat and with that, their upper eyelids heavy. When younger, there is more tone to the forehead muscle and it can be used by your face without your knowing to start to help lift the eyebrow as it wants to sag (in the mid to late thirties). As your face starts doing this, you won't see the 'hooding" of the upper eyelid skin or...

Flat Brow after Botox.
Hi DC. A flat brow after Botox is caused by improper placement of the product too close to the brow.
If your injector has done this to you multiple times over the years, it may be time to consider a new one. A good injector can smooth the frown lines and forehead without a perceptible change to the brow. You can certainly address this with your injector if you want to stick with that person or you can consider speaking to someone else.
Regardless of degree,...

Which Botox Placement, or Combination Of, Results in Flat Eyebrows?
Injection of any of the neurotxins, Botox, Dysport or the new Xeomin can weaken the muscles responsible for eyebrow position. This will cause the eyebrows to droop. The rule of thumb is to remain two finger widths above the mid and lateral sections, of the eyebrows, when injecting the forehead wrinkles in order to avoid this issue.

Botox and Dysport help treat wrinkles on the forehead, glabella, and eyes
However the forehead muscles are the only ones that raise the eyebrows, so if you feel they are too flat, your doctor should avoid treating all of your forehead, and perhaps try a very small dose that will still allow some movement. Best to you

Flat eyebrows
Flat eyebrows may look virile in a man but are not so attractive in a female.
To give a nice arch to the eyebrow, two injections should be placed lateral to the central glabellar injection point. This will give a nice arch to the eyebrow, which many injectors will supplement with another injection at the lateral brow, the so-called "lateral brow lift".
I agree with my colleagues, that your injector placed your Botox too low. Injections should be no lower than...

Flat eyebrows
As they say in the real estate industry-location, location, location. You need to have the Botox place a little higher. If necessary ask your doctor to use less as well and wait a week or two to see the result. You can easily add more if you need to to fine tune it.

Too much botox in the forehead
Unfortunately this type of result is all too common. Doctors often rely on the lack of movement as their treatment goal. This creates an unnatural and inauthentic appearance with a dropped and immobile eyebrow. Treatment does not have to result in this type of effect. A change of injector can be a reasonable choice. Also study my microdroplet botulinum toxin method on my website to understand how alternative treatment works.

Botox complications
Flattened eyebrows after Botox treatment is either caused by injecting to low on the forehead or injecting too much Botox into the forehead. I recommend going to a Dermatologist that has more experience than your current injector.

Flat eyebrows from Botox injections
This has to do with the placement of the Botox. In the forehead is what's called the frontalis muscle. If Botox is injected too low into this, it will cause the center of the eyebrow to fall, making it look flat. Your injector needs to raise the placement of Botox in this area to avoid having this happen.
