Can You Use Botox for a Brow Lift?
Will Botox give you a lift like surgery, but nonsurgically?

Botox vs browlifts for lifting brows
Botox helps elevate the lateral brow a bit and is effective at reducing frown lines. It is also effective with horizontal wrinkles, but causes dropping of the brows. This effect limits how much Botox can accomplish.
Botox can only do so much, and then it is time for surgery. As Dr Rand notes the central forehead management is greatly helped with Botox.
However when patients notice that Botox no longer does the truck'it may be time to consider a surgical browlift.

Chemical Brow Lift
To get a Botox brow lift, one needs to do a three area injection. the central forehead, the frown line area and the crows feet area. By paralyzing the depressors of the brow the elevators are able to raise the brow. The brow lift is elegant and subtle, with lateral brow elevation and medial brow staying in neutral position.
I perform a lot of endoscopic brow lifts but I almost prefer the Botox brow lift. The only problem is that it has to be repeated every 3 to 4 months.

Botox as a chemical browlift
Neuromodulators(Botox,Dysport,etc.) certainly can be useful for altering the muscle dynamics around the brow and eyes. I use the injections to show some patients what can be accomplished for the short term and many of them continue until the brow falls more than the injections can handle. At that time a thorough discussion of the surgical browlift becomes necessary. Fortunately,browlifting has become a relatively minimally invasive surgery with short recovery time but long-lasting results.

The Botox Brow Lift
Botox or Dysport can certainly be effective for lifting the eyebrows. I typically place 2-3 units of Botox or 6-10 units of Dysport underneath the outer part of each eyebrow. This "chemical browlift" will result in a subtle yet noticeable, 2-3 mm lift of the outer part of the eyebrows. This process works by slightly weakening the muscle which pulls down on the eyebrow. The effects typically last 3-4 months. Care should also be taken not to overtreat the horizontal wrinkles in the...

The Botox "Brow Lift"
Botox will give you very limited benefits in terms of a Brow Lift. Each patient is very different in terms of the result because it depends on how much laxity you have in your brow and is the upper eyelid a contributing factor. Discuss your concern with your surgeon and he or she should be able to give you a better understanding of what you can expect from a Botox injection.

Botox or Dysport can give you a subtle browlift
As a facial plastic surgeon, I like to talk to people about their choices. I think that surgery is a great, long-lasting option to get a browlift but certainly surgery is not for everyone.
In addition, I am in the top 1% in the country for Botox, so I have a vast experience with that as well. If a person is not interested in surgery and would like quick, easy results with no downtime then Botox or Dysport is certainly another great option.
Good Luck!

How to get a browlift without surgery
To get a browlift without surgery, you can have Botox injected underneath the corner or your eyebrow. This paralyzes the muscle underneath so that the muscle above the eyebrow pulls way up giving you a browlift. However, the results are only temporary as the Botox only lasts 3-4 months, and the amount of lift that you get is minimal to moderate at best. A surgical browlift can last years, and the surgery is very well tolerated with minimal downtime and discomfort.

Botox will produce limited Brow Lift
Botox will provide a subtle, limited brow lift because it will weaken the muscles that pull the brow down. However, it will not give you a lift like surgery. It is a simple, non-invasive way for the patient to improve their appearance. Remember, the injection must be repeated every 3-4 months.

Chemical Brow lift with botulinum toxin (dysport or botox)
Boton or botulinum toxin will not achieve the same amount of lift as a surgical lift.
The way it works is that muscles often perform a tug of war effect: muscles that pull in one direction are called agonists while muscles that pull in the other direction are called antagonists. If you block one muscle with botulinum toxin such as dysport the other one takes over.
This is how the brow lift technique works. IF you block the muscles that pull the brow downwards, the muscles that lift it will...

Botox for Browlift
There is no question that when applied appropriately you can receive anywhere from subtle to moderate elevation of the brow with the use of Botox. In younger patients Botox is an excellent substitute for surgery as these patients tend to have only mild lateral brow ptosis and relaxation of the depressors of the brow will help to elevate the brow. In those individuals with more profound brow ptosis and in those patients with heavy brows, Botox will be less effective and properly performed...

Can Botox Lift your Brows?
Botox is designed to paralyze muscles by preventing the release of the nerve chemical that causes the muscle to contract. Researchers found that this had the unintended, but desirable effect of reducing unwanted brow lines or "furrows." Physicians also noted that if this is strategically placed in the brow musculature, we could selectively paralyze the muscles pulling down on the brow, and as a result, "lift" the brow. What this does is allow the "lifting"...

Botox can help lift the brow non-surgically
Botox is a great non-surgical treatment to reduce facial wrinkles and help shape the face, including lifting the brow. Injections to the muscles between the eyebrows, at the bridge of the nose, and just below the outer eyebrows decrease the downward pull on the brow, allowing a modest lift.
Keep in mind that the lines across the forehead will not be diminished and might even deepen. Injections into the forehead area can cause the brow to settle. The transverse wrinkle lines are improved,...

Botox can give you a lift like surgery, but only temporary
The technique is to inject the muscles that pull down the brow. It works for 3-5 months.
There are the 3 muscles between the brows. The 2 corrugator muscles pull the brows towards the middle and down, and give you the vertical crease lines between the brows. The procerus pulls the middle of the two brows down, and gives a horizontal crease at the root of the nose.
On the outside of the brow, one selectively injects the circular muscle that goes around the eye socket (obicularis oculi)....

Botox and Browlift
It can be done and I do it often. But you have to be realistic with the expected outcome. It is not a substitute for a browlift, but you can get some nice elevation of the medial and lateral brow with injection of botox. Not every injector knows how to do this, which is why I would recommend seeing a physician rather than a nurse doing your injections.
Good luck.

I routinely use BOTOX to elevate the eyebrows.
By locally paralyzing the muscles in between your eyebrows, along with the muscles that pull down the tail of the eyebrow, lifting of the brows can be achieved. This technique works best in younger patients. I think that you look more attractive after BOTOX to the frown muscles because your eyebrows reposition at a higher, more youthful level.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Botox for a brow lift
You can achieve a mild elevation of the lateral brow with targeted injections of botox. The results usually last around 4 months. It is more difficult to elevate the inner portion of the brow and usually requires a surgical brow to do so.

No
Typically the brow tends to drop with Botox, however in some cases it may be slightly raised. Botox is not a substitute for a surgical brow lift. With the endoscopic techniques, the surgical procedure is more appealing.

Botox Brow Lift
Yes, a chemical brow lift can be performed with Botox or Dysport, the newest botulinum toxin available. The muscles that pull the brows downward are paralyzed with the toxin and the brows elevate. Unfortunately, the effect will only last 3-4 months.

Some people get great browlifts from Botox, some not so much
As above, it is difficult to predict how much a brow lift each individual patient can get with Botox. Some get amazing results, some very minimal. What Botox does is relax the muscles that pull the brow down, called the brow depressors. The muscles above the brow then aren't pulling against the brow depressors.
I think one indicator is how strongly the brow pulls down when winking. That is for a lateral (corner) elevation. For the central brow, the muscles that furrow the brow can also pull...

Botox as a browlift? Yes and no.
Botulinum Toxin A can be placed in the face, around the eyes and forehead in a way that can elevate the brows. This treatment can work really well when done by a practitioner with a lot of experience in this area. The good news is that this is non surgical. It does require maintenance of every 2-4 months.

Botox can give a brow lift
Botox is used with great success to lift the lateral brow. Sometimes I use Botox in combination with a filler to really lift the brow. The combination of the two maximizes the result. Some patients do need a surgical brow lift.
Usually the patient is having upper blepharoplasty and I just perform the brow lift through the bleph incision. It gives them a great result that looks natural and no extra scar. Hope this helps.

Botox for brow lift
I think Botox in most cases will actually work much better than surgery. Over the past 15 - 20 years surgical brow lifts were overused, and this is what created the "plastic surgery" look so many resent. They call it "deer in the headlights", "too surprised", etc. Of course, good surgical lift will not result in this undesirable look, but it still remains a challenge for many. Most surgeons in the States, you will notice, greatly decreased the number of surgical...

Chemical brow lift with Botox.
Hi.
Botox works great to raise the brows just enough. It relaxes the muscles that pull the brows down. So the muscle that lifts the brows acts unopposed and is more effective.
Technique is very important, and the results last about 4 months.

Botox can lift sagging brows in the vast majority of people
Botox Brow lift relies of weakening the facial muscles which tend to pull the brows down. By weakening these brow depressors (such as the Orbicularis oculi muscles under the side brow and the corrugators under the inner brow), the brows are lifted naturally by the frontalis muscle which would normally have to overcome the pull of these brow depressors.
Botox Brow lifting requires a knowledge of facial anatomy and an artistic sense. The lack of these qualities explains the common sight of bad...

Botox brow lifts
Actually, because of the advent of Botox to treat the wrinkles between the eyebrows, the number of surgical browlifts has dramatically decreased. In my practice, the only indication anymore for a browlift is if the eyebrows are just too low, especially laterally. I don't even try to address the muscles in this surgery anymore and just use Botox which is much more complete in eliminating muscle function and has lass risk.
You can use Botox in the area between the eyebrows and at the outer...
