I'm not intested in Botox...too many terrible experiences with it!!! I would like a slight browlift on my lateral brows to get rid of some of the excess lid skin..browlift surgery recommended for my case. Can fillers simulate a browlift? If so, how does this work..ie., what area is it injected, what filler would be used, ? I don't have a lot of forehead wrinkling (yet), just want to open my eyes a little. Also, if filler is still there when I finally want surgery, will it be in the way?

Non Surgical Brow Lift

Dermal Fillers in the hands of a skilled and experienced injector can achive a nonsurgical browlift. A physical examination and thorough consultation would be necessary to determine if this is the best option for you.

Browlift Effect Possible with Fillers and Botox-But Find an Expert

Dermal Fillers plus Botox or Dysport to relax the upper Obicularis or Eyelid muscle can create a small Brow Lift Effect. However please take the time to search for an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with this technique. I have had patients show up in my office with visible lumps of filler under their eyebrow after having this done by a novice doctor.

Volumizing Fillers Work Well for Nonsurgical Browlifts

Age-related loss of volume along the brow region and in the temples can lead to sagging brows. Restoration of the volume, using volumizing fillers, such as Juvederm UltraPlus XL in th,ese areas can often restore enough volume to lift the brow a one or two millimeters, which is often sufficient to support and reposition the brow upward and allow for more exposure of the natural upper eyelid and make the eyes appear wider. Exactly where and how much volume needs to be added will depend... more

Dermal Fillers for a Browlift

To an extent, dermal fillers can create a lateral browlift effect. Make up artists often use white eye shadow just below the lateral eyebrow to create the illusion of an elevated brown (for example, in front of a TV camera). We take advantage of this "trick" using fillers. - A little bit of filler strategically placed uner the lateral eyebrow itself can pick up the elevate slack just a bit, which can result in an elevation of the lateral eyebrow (1-3 mm). - When... more

Ideally Botulo-toxin ( to re balance muscle action to allow eyebrow being pulled up) and dermal filler ( will give ancoring effect to the eyebrow and change volume proportions to give appearance of higher eyebrows)used together will give the best result. If you certain that to choose only dermal fillers then fillers like Radiesse, Laresse or Restylane SubQ are probably the best... more

Fillers like Perlane can be placed along the superior orbital rim to increase the volume in that area. the increased volume tends to lift the eyebrows slightly.

Eyebrow lift with dermal fillers and Botox Cosmetic

You mention in the text of your question that you are not interested in Botox as a way to lift the eyebrows, however, the best effect with a nonsurgical eyebrow lift procedure would be with a combination of fillers and Botox. I would suggest that you consult with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with proper training and experience in injectables and eyebrow rejuvenation. Many horror stories that one hears comes from the fact that injections are... more

Fillers can simulate a browlift

In some situations, dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvaderm, or Radiesse can be used to give the appearance of a browlift. This is done by injecting fillers along the brow bone, This will make the brow bone slightly more prominent and will give your borw a "ledge" to rest on. This can give you a few millimeters of lift and in some cases, this is all that you require. make sure your plastic surgeon is familiar with this technique because fillers last a long time in this area and... more

Fillers do not lift-a warning not to give into the hype

There is a great marketing ploy in the U.S. right now for the "non-surgical face lift" or "liquid face lift." There is no such thing. It is misleading and is promoted by non-surgeons who are not trained in performing the necessary procedures. They will take your money and make you look deformed. Some of the marketing will say, "why pay $10,000 for a face lift when you can pay $2000 for the "liquid face lift." It should say "why do... more

It is possible to get a nice lift with fillers.

I like to use Perlane or Juvederm UltraPlus to add volume above the top edge of the eyebrow. If this is artfully done, it gives a nice lift to the eyebrow.
