Botox can be used to open the eye

Depending on your anatomy, botox can be used just lateral to the eyebrows and under the center of the eyebrow to lift the eyelids and open the eyes. For the best results, work with a physician who is experienced using botox and has a good working knowledge of the muscles of the face.

Botox can be used to raise the outer forehead by injecting near the tail of the eyebrow

Absolutely, injecting near the tail of the eyebrow helps relax the downward muscle curve of the orbicularis oculi muscle which is round in nature. This then helps elevate the outer part of the forehead. This is an off-label use of Botox and should be done by a physician who is experienced in this treatment. see video

Eyebrow shaping with Botox

Dear Sarula, Botox has been in use for eyebrow shaping for several years. The number of units injected, & where along the brow [or in the glabella], is best determined by your treating dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, once the two of you agree on the desired shape/position. Raising the outer part [tail] of the brow can be accomplished by injecting 2-3 units in the "tail area".

Botox Brow Lift

The Botox brow lift works by relaxing the obicularis oculi muscle below the later eyebrow. The frontalis muscle will then elevate the lateral brow. The key is to use small amounts to adjust the eyebrow height to the desired level.

Botox brow lift.- yes

Botox is a bit of an art form and its placement is not one size fits all. Its placement can affect the shape and position of the brows. I often perform what I call a chemical brow lift. Botox between the brows will drop the midbrow, Botox just under the tail of the eyebrow will elevate it. Share your goals with your PS so that you come up with a plan that best creates the look you are hoping to achieve.

Botox along tail of eyebrow

I often use a small amount of Botox along the tail of the lateral eyebrow and along the crow's feet to elevate the lateraal brow. Remember, that if too much is placed into the forehead than it will not lift.

Botox works well to raise the tail of the brow

This is great way to get a "chemical brow lift". I like to use two injections of 2.5U each per side placed at the desired brow high point. The injection has to be low enough that it is into the orbucularis and not the frontalis. This technique can also be used to correct asymmetry and change the shape of the brow.

It can work

It can work if done correctly, sometimes the result is significant, other times more subtle. It is important to avoid orbital placement to avoid eyelid ptosis or double vision.

Botox and eyebrows

I think it is nice technique to put a few ( 1-3 units) of Botox at the tail of the eyebrow to give them a nice arch and open the eye a bit. Not everyone's eyebrows are symmetrical to begin with , so sometimes I use slightly different amount to even the eyebrows. The arched brow is a more feminine look, where men have a more horizontal brow, so I do not usually inject this area in men. Lana Long, M.D.

The best method of doing this is Microdroplet botulinum toxin treatment.

Microdroplet BOTOX is a method that I developed and patented. There are a handful of physicians in the US who I have taught to perform this advanced method. Look on my personal website (lidlift dot com) and you can read about this method in detail. It is a fantastic treatment option for raising the eyebrows without surgery.

Raising the brows with Botox

Chemical brow lifting with Botox relies on rebalancing muscle tensions. One common area to relax, allowing the brow to rise, is the patch of muscle just underneath the brow tail.

Botox to raise brows

Greetings~ There is no standard way to inject Botox that will have the same result for everyone. Since Botox injections involve treating muscles involved with facial expression that can create certain lines and wrinkles or alter brow position. For some people, raising the brow can involve an injection at the tail of the brow...for other patients it may involve treating the medial portions of the brow as well and/or treating certain areas of the forehead (frontalis)... more

Neuromodulators such as Botox to control the shape and position of the brows

It is possible to control the shape and position of the brows with the use of Botox or other neuromodulators by placing them in the muscles that raise or lower the brows. A few units at the lateral position of the brows may help raise the lateral portion of the brows. Seak an experienced injector to obtain best results. Good Luck
