Botox to Raise Lateral Brow After Endoscopic Brow Lift?
I have had an endoscopic Brow lift. The lateral has fallen, frown lines are becoming more obvious. I had three different muscle groups incised with the Brow lift.
My question is, how likely is it that Botox might now raise the lateral brow? Thank you.

Botox Brow Lift is Effective for Lifting the Lateral Brow
If both your Frown Lines and Crow's Feet are contracting after your Endoscopic Brow Lift then they are pulling the Brow down.
To lift the Brow you will need Botox in both the Frown Line and Crow's Feet areas.
Both the Procerus and Corrugators (Frown Muscles) and the Orbicularis Occuli Muscles (Crow's Feet Muscles) are strong depressors of the Brow

Botox brow lift
Botox is effective in lifting the lateral brow. It sounds like your brow lift was not very effective if all of the muscles which were supposed to be cut are now moving again. The good thing is that Botox is very effective at paralyzing these muscles. Additionally, it is hard to tell without examining you or seeing a picture, but it may be that you need an upper blepharoplasty and not a brow lift. Good luck with the Botox.

BOTOX can help
Dear Brook
Recurrent lateral brow hooding is one of the most common issues I see for consultation after failed forehead lift. The problem is that unlike the central forehead were the frontalis muscle helps lift the eyebrow after the forehead lift, there is no lateral lifting muscle. BOTOX in the crows feet area does weaken the lateral eyebrow depressors and this does decrease the brow hooding.
Ultimately, the best fix is a revisional forehead with removal of hair bearing scalp above the...

Botox to raise lateral eyebrow after endo brow lift.
I would like to know how long post op. are you and did you have a meaningful correction after 6 mos? With a failed " 3 muscle group release" , I doubt that Botox would work and if it did the results would be short lived.
In my experienc some form of open technique is more effective and long lasting.

Botox to lift the eyebrow
If your brows have fallen after an endoscopic forehead lift, it is likely due to the depressor muscles around the eye healing and pulling the forehead back down. Since it is those muscles that caused the recurrent falling of the brows, then injecting Botox to weaken them should allow some elevation of the lateral brow if properly injected.

Botox can raise lateral eyebrow area
Botox can raise the lateral brow by injecting underneath the lateral eyebrow area and paralyzing the orbicularis oculi muscle laterally. This has an upward effect but is only temporary. You will have to have this redone every four to five months to keep the effect.

Botox and brow lifting
Your surgeon would be the best to answer your question knowing exactly what was done during the procedure. Botox might give you the lift of the outer eyebrow, although it is not the same as a brow lift,

BOTOX is an excellent non-surgical option for brow lifting.
When BOTOX is injected in the muscles that normally bring the brow down, the result is predictable, natural, brow-lifting. There is no problem having a BOTOX treatment after your endoscopic brow-lift surgery.
I've attached a photo demonstrating BOTOX-brow-lifting in a young patient.
I hope this is helpful, and best regards.

Botox for lateral brow lift is worth a try
Things may change a bit after surgery- so lets first discuss how Botox works to lift the brow in the un operated condition. tTe position of the lateral brow is dynamic---sort of held in balance between the forehead(frontalis) muscle wanting to lift and the lateral portion of the orbicularis muscle want ing to pull it down. Most patients notice when they have a full smile the tail of the brow gets pulled down a bit. Depending on the strength and how far out laterally the frontalis muscle...

Pharmacologic Browlifting is a proven entity!
When properly placed neurotoxin injections can result in brow elevation and improvement of canthal lines and frwon lines. Many times we find surgical browlifting may not be necessary after injections of this medication. And contrary to what our President claims many of us will try to find ways of avoiding surgery even if it means less money in our pocket. Some of the politicians and lawyers have a hard time understanding this!
