Botox Brow Lift - what can one expect?

A Botox or Dysport brow lift is one of the most popular and rewarding injection treatments for both men and women alike. An experienced injector will be able to offer expectations with regards to dosing and predicted improvement. In some situations, a patient may be a better candidate for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). However, for those that are not interested in surgical options, or are not in need of surgical intervention, using Botox or Dysport is an excellent... more

Botox treatments are excellent for raising brows and creating symmetry

Botox can be very effective for raising the eyebrows and also creating balance and symmetry in the face. The injections have to be placed very precisely for the desired effect and should be done by trained aesthetic physicians.

Chemical Brow Lift With Botox

The type of brow lift you are inquiring about is called a "chemical brow lift". The results of this type of lift are usually subtle and not dramatic but for most males, this is the type of lift they are seeking; again subtle, not startled. By injecting Botox or Dysport into the depressor muscles of the eyebrow, this weakens these muscles and changes the balance of the eyebrow muscles so that the elevator muscles-the ones that lift the brow-are now dominate and will lift... more

Botox Brow Lift

Injecting a small amount of Botox in the brow depressor muscles will help raise your brow as long as you don't inject the muscles in your forehead that help elevate your brow at the same time. If your forehead muscles are completely paralyzed, you will not be able to raise your brow. I use anywhere from 1-3 units to do this. You can expect about a millimeter or 2 of lift. Although that sounds small, it makes a big difference in this area!

Microdroplet BOTOX

This method results in the most profound eyebrow lift. No you will not have the surprised look. If you can't make it to Los Angeles for this treatment, ask your injector to study my website and perhaps they can perform the method for you.

Yes Botox can lift your Eyebrows

The way Botox works is to paralyze muscle. So if you paralyze the muscle that pulls the eyebrow down, it will rise. This works most effectively at the medial part of the brow, where there is some muscle that pulls the brow down. The effect is usually subtle, but subtle changes in this area make a significant difference. Good luck

Chemical (Botox) Brow Lift

Like all facial structures, the brows are shaped and moved by opposing sets of muscles. The shape and position of the sagging brow can be altered by preferentially weakening the muscles which pull the brow down. By weakening the brow depressors with Botox (or Xeomin), the brow lifting muscle (Frontalis) has an easier time elevating the brow.

Botox can raise an eyebrow

This same question and photo have been posed and the response was that botox can help lift by relaxing the depressor muscles. Ultherapy can help lift by tightening the connective tissue layer and Restylane can help fill the saggy infrastructure of the eyebrow which will help lift the sagging upper eyelid skin. see video

Botox Units for Brow Lift

Although a photo of you looking straight into the camera is better for evaluation, based on my experience as an Oculofacial cosmetic surgeon in New York performing Botox for brow lifting, looking at this photo, I would recommend getting some lift on the inner parts of your brows using Botox (or even Dysport). The number of Botox units needs to be customized by a professional, and approximately 50-75 Botox units may be right (35 Botox units for the frown line area and 20-20 Botox units for... more

Botox for brow lifting effect

Botox can be used to elevate the brow. It does have to be repeated at regular intervals but is an excellent treatment in terms of elevating the brow without that "surprised" expression. The injections can be placed in the glabella and above the lateral eyebrow. The amount necessary needs to be determined in consultation during which the laxity of the skin can be evaluated.

Fort Lauderdale Liquid Lift

Botox is a fantastic noninvasive method of getting a few millimeters of elevation of the lateral brow. While this doesn't sound like a great deal, esthetically the difference is notable. Combined with Ultherapy the results have been quite remarkable.

Botox to raise the eyebrow

I agree that botox can be used to raise the eyebrow. In general the botox should be placed in the forehead above a line drawn across the middle of the forehead. I dont usually inject it lateral to the iris (colored part of the eye). By doing this you knock out the function of the eyebrow elevator, which causes wrinkles to the forehead, but preserve enough function laterally to still raise the lateral eyebrow. Some inject into the brow to decrease function of the obicularis... more

Raising eyebrows with Botox

Botox can change the shape of the brow. However, the number of units that would be used and the amount of lift you can expect can only be evaluated at the time of your treatment.

Can I Have my Eyebrow Rasied by Botox?

Botox injected into the tail, of the eyebrow can raise the eyebrow a mm or so. Injecting the rest of the eyebrow may give the surprised look but is more likely to actually do the opposite and drop the brow. Your eyebrows are not that low IMHO and while they could be thinned, lifting them significantly, IMHO would feminize the eyes.

Good Science about Botox Brow Elevation

There is good science (with photographic analysis) which demonstrates the brow lift after Botox to the glabellar region (the area between the eyebrows which creates a frown). Most people have a noticeable lifting of their brows after Botox. However, with age, the relaxation of the forehead skin and loss of volume in the forehead may cause this brow lift effect to be more subtle. I often recommend that the crow's feet region be treated with... more

Botox Brow Lift.

Botox can be injected below the brow to knock out the brow depressors, and therefore raise the brow moderately. Some excess eyelid skin will be corrected. Amount depends on exam and doctor experience.

Botox eyebrow lift

Treatment of both the glabellar region as well as the lateral part of the eyebrow, when properly done, will cause a slight elevation of the eyebrow. Known as an eyebrow lift, this will create an aesthetically pleasing arch in the eyebrow which can also help to make any excess skin in the upper eyelid become less apparent.

Yes you can get a minor eyebrow lift.

Botox is an option for lifting the outside of the brow. Small amounts of botox (2-4 units) can be used to weaken a muscle that depresses the lateral eyebrow causing it to lift a little in response. Positioning of the injection will help avoid a surprised look. The amount of raise is variable from patient to patient and typically only a few millimeters. Dr. Shah

Botox is excellent at raising the brow

Botox is excellent at raising the brow. This is called a "chemical brow lift". It is impossible to tell you how many units or the amount of lift you would obtain without examing you. Warmest regards. Dr. Pippin
