I got some great answers, thanks to all of the doctors that responded!I did some research and do not think I am ready to go through with a brow lift. I do feel I am a little young and should try other options first. The problem is that I had tried botox about a year ago and didn't get very noticeable results. Could this be that the doctor just didn't do a great job? I would be willing to try botox again, if I know that I have a good chance of lifting the lateral brow portions.

I stopped using endotine years ago for the following reasons:
They can be felt as a firm bump for months after surgery
They add a significant cost to the surgery which is passed on to the patient
They show no benefit to other methods of fixation (i.e. bone tunnel)
At least 2 to 3 weeks before surgery and continue 2 to 3 weeks after surgery is about the standard guidline to stop smoking before most surgical procedures. This will ensure a much easier and better post op healing.
This is not an uncommon usually temporary issue after browlift, and almost always the nerve will regain its function. And no, Botox will not help with regaining of the nerve function.
