Should I Be Concerned That Botox Could Cause Eyebrow Drooping?
I want to use botox injection to treat the very shallow horizontal forehead lines and the very deep frown lines between my eyebrows. I've heard that forehead lines injection run a bigger risk of eyelid drooping. Should I just treat the deep frown lines between my eyebrows to avoid eyelid drooping?

Go ahead and have Botox in the glabella and forehead just go to an experienced MD
Everything has risks, including Botox injections to the forehead. However, you can mimimize these risks by going to an MD that has experience using Botox in the forehead. I've used Botox to soften lines and wrinkles of the face and forehead for over 20 years and there are ways to inject the Botox so it has very little chance of dropping the eyebrows. Just remember that "you get what you pay for" and if you shop around for a cheap price on your Botox, you...

Botox for frown lines and forehead lines
You may indeed benefit from the glabellar lines being treated betweent the eyebrows but it may be that the horizontal lines, once treated, would prevent the lift your forehead needs to prevent your upper eyelids from falling down naturally. You would need to be examined to determine your candidacy for horizontal forehead line treatment with Btoox.

Misplaced Botox can cause drooping.
Eyebrow drooping is a possibility when Botox is misplaced (i.e. too much in the wrong areas), that is why it is so important to trust your doctor.
When you are ready to undergo any esthetic procedure, it is best to have a consultation with a board certified cosmetic doctor or dermatologist who you trust. They will give you the honest answers for your unique situation (your starting point, your objectives and your budget).

Botox
Forehead injections usually can effect eyebrow drooping more than eyelid drooping. Injections higher on the forehead with less units can help wrinkles and minimize the drooping of the brow. The lighter touch however may improve the wrinkles but not completely remove them. I hope this info helps.

Botox and risk of eyelid drooping
Thank you for your question. Many patients have heard about the risks of eyelid drooping with Botox treatment and would like to understand more about that. It is prudent both to consider and to be concerned about the potential risks of any treatment. Precisely because there are risks, I recommend that patients only consider receiving Botox treatments from well-trained professionals. Because the forehead treatment area can be close to the upper eyelids, some of the Botox can diffuse through...

Can Improper Botox Treatment Cause Eyebrow Drooping?
Botox relaxes and weakens the muscles within which it is placed. The forehead muscles (FRONTALIS) lift the brows and in so doing cause the horizontal lines across the forehead. Depending on the depth of the lines and the natural sagginess of the brows care must be used in the application of Botox to the forehead to weaken the lined formation WITHOUT dropping the brows.
This is one of the reasons why you should have your Botox done by a Plastic surgeon / Dermatologist rather than a salon...
