Botox brow lift

Botox will not lft the the eyebrows. it will simply weaken the muscles that pull down the brow and oppose the  frontialis muscle. see video

The amount of BOTOX it takes to lift brows really depends upon how much lifting you need

The amount of BOTOX it takes to lift brows really depends upon how much lifting you need. It can be anywhere from 25 to 40 units depending upon how your individual muscles work. And, not everyone will get a good browlift from BOTOX. It depends on how strong their eyebrow depressor muscles are at the time of injection.

Non-Surgical Browlift (Chemical Browlift) Using Both Botox and Fillers

The position of the eyebrows is another casualty of father time. In young women, the inner half of the eyebrow lays directly over the rim of the bony orbit. Two-thirds of the way across in the direction of the temples, the brows flare upward above the brow line buttressed by an outwardly projecting mound of fat. When this fatty tissue shrivels and flattens with age, the outer brows sink to level of the rim of the orbit or even below it. The now downwardly directed outer third resembles... more

Botox can be used to lift the brow

In selected patients, botox can be used to signifiicantly and noticabley elevate the eyebrows. The best candidates for botox browlifts have strong central and lateral eyebrow depressors (the squint and frown muscles) and a powerful eyebrow elevator (the Frontalis). If you are a  good botox browlift muscle candidate, it will often require 60-75 units of botox to optimize the brow lift and brow reshaping effect. Under dosing with botox is a common mistake, as is over use of botox in... more

How much botox needed

Botox is different from patient to patient as the amount of muscle mass varies and the regional anatomy can vary.  Also, there is some art and experience involved with the administration of botox. Doctors have many different techniques in delivering botox to the same area. Many will use one row for the Crow's feet, and others will use two rows. The number of units can be different in each insertion. The number of units in between the eyebrows and their placement can be different... more

Dramatic Botox Brow Lift

In order to obtain subtle lateral brow lift, I typically use 5U Botox per side (10 U total).  For a more dramatic lift, I roughly double this dose (20-25 U).  This relates specifically to injection of Botox into the lateral superior orbicularis oculi muscle, which is a brow depressor.  Minimization of this portion of muscle's activity allows the brow to "spring upward".  As previously mentioned, the equivalent does of Dysport is 2.5 times the number of... more

Lifting the brows with neurotoxin

The muscle of the brow work antagonistically like a "yin and yang" thing.  The frontalis lifts and the orbicularis around the eye lowers the brow.  "knocking out" the orbicularis selectively along the orbital rim helps usually to elevate the brow.  If you also have your frontalis treated becuase you do not like the lines, the lateral brow may not elevate as much as you would like.

Botox browlift

By blocking the function of the muscles that depress the brow and leaving the elevator muscles alone, you will have a nice browlift.  This usually takes 25-50 units of Botox.

Amount of Botox or Dysport Needed to Elevate Eye Brows

Hi Vanity, Elevation of the brows from neurotoxin injection depends not only on dose, but on placement in the correct muscles.  It should take about 25 units of Botox or 50 units of Dysport to get brow elevation.  A charging Bengal Tiger will normally elevate the brows as well. Be well. Dr. P

Botox to dramatically lift brows

The formula for conversion of Botox to Dysport is 1 unit of Botox = 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport. So If I use 15 to 25 units of Botox to "dramatically lift" your eyebrows than at least 40 to 70 units of Dysport is needed. In my opinion you were under treated. From MIAMI Dr. B
