Is There Any Way to Make my Eyebrows More Arched?
I'm young, 20, but my eyebrows really bother me. They are pretty much straight across. They have no arch. My question is, is there any way to get the arch? Brow lift? Botox? Eyelid surgery? What will help me? I look so much better when I raise my forehead.

Botox for eyebrow shaping
Hi there-
A tiny bit of Botox, artfully administered, can indeed produce a pleasing change in the shape of the brows...
Be sure you understand that there IS technique to Botox injections... The perception that anyone can inject Botox is pushed by the manufacturer, but simply isn't true, especially when trying to achieve subtle improvements like this.

Using Botox to arch the brows
By injecting approximately 3-5 units of botox just below the outer edge of each eyebrow, you can create a "lift" of the lateral brow. This is because you are weakening the eye closing muscles below the brow. Those muscles pull the brow down to some extent. By weakening them with botox you allow the forehead muscles to work unopposed to raise the outer brows, thereby arching them.
This should be done carefully to avoid ptosis- or drooping of the eyelid.

Brow arching
Have two basic simple options. One is use of Botox as many of my collegues have mentioned below. The other is to do a temporal brow lift. The advantage of the latter is the fact that you can customize the shape of the brow as desired.

Flat Eyebrows
The "ideal" eyebrow starts just at or slightly above the orbital rim, arches to its highest point at the lateral side of the iris then extends laterally in a flat or very slight upward angle.
If this isn't natural for you an endoscopic brow lift could be your answer. The other ideas you mentioned won't work. While a small amount of Botox or Dysport under the lateral brow can elevate it slightly it won't elevate the peak of the brow.
An upper eyelid blepharoplasty or lift doesn't...

Make eyebrows more arched
The eyebrows can be shaped and arched in a number of ways. One method that has been used since the beginning of time is aesthetic tweezing. BOTOX® is anexcellent modality for arching the eyebrows with the BOTOX® injected justunder the side of each brow.
A more prominent modality is a lateral direct browlift. The downside to this procedure is the scar line. However, if the procedure is performed well, the scar line is often hidden just at the upper brow hair margin. It may be...

Changing Eyebrow Shape
You mention a couple techniques to change eyebrow shape. If the brow is thick, trimming the eyebrow hair can be beneficial. Botox injection will subtly , temporarily alter shape. The most aggressive, permanent technique is invasive surgery to change brow position and contour.

Non-surgical eyebrow lift
Part of the classic female face are eyebrows whose outer third arch upward and swing outward. To complete the ideal picture, there is also a slight, rounded projection of the fleshy areas directly beneath this region which both support the flare of the eyebroww above and lift the skin above the upper eyelids to give them youthful exposure.
With time (some people obviously much earlier than others), loss of volume (fatty tissue) in this region and the sinking of the areas directly...

Botox or dysport for creating an arch to the eyebrow
You can help lift the eyebrow by placing Botox in the region between the eyebrows and the outer eyebrow as well, but this won't create a nice arch, necessarily. If one tries to affect the forehead muscle on the outer ends of the eyebrow so the middle raises up, there could be diffusion close to important structures that help raise the upper eyelid. If this muscle is secondarily affected there could be a three month, or more, lowering of the upper eyelid. See a physician who is expert...

Shaping the eyebrows
The first approach would be the creative use of eyebrow pencil preferably done with the aid of an esthetitcian. Avoid plucking brows unless there is an excess of brow hairs. I have transplanted a number of patients who plucked out too many brow hairs. Permanent brow shaping can be acheived with a modified brow lift.

Shaping brow with non-surgical and surgical brow lifting options
In general, conservative brow shaping can be achieved with non-surgical options, whereas significant brow contouring require surgical treatments.
Probably the most important to is look at your own picutre when you are in your twentys to restore your brow shape, position, rather than create a different look.
Non-surgical Options: quick, simple, effective, natural, minimal down-time

eyelash enhancers: Latisse to help to thicken the brow hairs

Eyebrows more arched
Easiest way BOTOX (Dysport) can cause an arching of the eyebrow for little $ and short lasting (months). After that the next alternative is surgery.

A Botox treatment may improve the appearance of your eyebrows.
Carefully placed Botox can lead to a gentle elevation of your brows, along with an arched appearance. I've found that younger patients, like yourself, will get the most benefit.
I've attached a link to a photo that demonstrates brow elevation in a young patient.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Creating eyebrows with more arch
If you have not met with an esthetician for eyebrow shaping, I strongly encourage you to do so. They can determine what eyebrow shape would best suit your individual facial features.
Botox injections to your forehead can lift a portion of your eyebrow to create an arch.

Try computer imaging first
I suggest that you consult with a plastic surgeon who could do some computer imaging to determine exactly how you would like to alter the appearance of your eyebrows. You could then develop a plan to get that result - waxing, plucking, Botox, or even a custom-designed brow lift that anchors the central portion of the eyebrows upward into more of an arch.

Eye Brow Shape, How to Achieve an Arched Brow
Hi Rider,
Recent studies have shown that it is the shape of the brow that determines it's beauty, not the height of the brow.The least invasive method to arch your eyebrows is with strategically placed Botox injections in your forehead. Some patients have their brows shaped by waxing. I would save brow lift surgery as a last resort, especially in a 20 year old. Good luck and be well.

Achieving the arched brow
As others have indicated, Botox may be your best option for re-shaping the brow and can be done in addition to plucking to achieve the kind of arch you are looking for in the brow. Only a few units of Botox is usually adequate for this purpose. I would suggest consulting with an experienced aesthetic physician in your area.
Good luck.

Arching the Lateral Brows
Achieving a greater arch to your brows at age 20 is feasible in 2 ways: brow shaping vis a vis an aesthetician or brow shaping wih Botox. Botox works in arching the brow by making one of the brow depressors less active, thereby springing the brow upward. The amount of lift obtained depends on how much Botox is used, and typically lasts for about 3 months. The average Botox dose I use for this purpose is 5 units per side

Botox for a slight improvement, surgery for a more noticeable result
I recommend you start your research by consulting with a board certified surgeon in your area. This specialist will be able to evaluate the pros and cons of surgical and non surgical approaches.
Botox can create a very slight arch in the eyebrows - as you are quite young, this may be an option for you to explore. Botox treatments are safe and since the results are not permanent, you can "try on" the look without committing to something permanent. On the other hand, for the results...

Producing arched brows
One option is to do a brow lift that customizes your brow shape. Be careful of over-doing it since the attractiveness of the brow has to do not only with its intrinsic shape but also its relationship with other facial features. If the brow is too arched, it can make the space between the eye or eyelid and the brow unusual.
The other option is to go to a salon to see what plucking the brows and makeup can do to change the shape.

Botox works for arching brows
As suggested above there are many options for contouring your brows that are probably less expensive than Botox or Dysport. However selective Chemodenervation of the frontalis muscle and parts of the orbicularis oculi when placed advantageously can give a little rise as well. Enjoy.

Changing Eyebrow Shape
The easiest way to change eyebrow shape is with Botox. If you inject Botox on either side of the eyebrow, but not in the middle, then the middle part will raise. Also if you injection the crow's feet area, the lateral brow will lift. I hope this is helpful.
