Non-surgical Ways to Help Sagging Brow Area?
I'm 48 yrs., with having had minimal sun bathing exposure.. no visible damage to forehead skin, yet I've notice a slight drop of my BROW area. Nature is so CRUEL. I don't deserve this; never drank alcohol. I've had my eye lids cut 4 times, removal of excess skin, (which wasn't really bad); just trying to achieve a more open look to my "deep set" eyes. Hate the thought of brow lift..too INVASIVE. Now I'm understanding that Botox relaxes this area even more, having ADVERSE affect. Too bad no invention to inject into musclse something to STIFFEN / or expand.

Ways to create non-surgical brow lift
The brows can be lifted non-surgically.
Here are some ways to enhance results:
Non-surgical Options: quick, simple, effective, natural, minimal down-time
* micro-tattoo: enhances the brow hair* eyelash enhancers: Latisse to help to thicken the brow hairs
* Botox lifts the brow by relaxing the muscles which depress the brow, thereby allowing the elevator muscles to work more freely. Consequently, brows can be elevated.
* fillers: Juvederm, Restylane, and especially Perlane and...

Non- Surgical Browlift
Botox is used to contour the brow by injecting into the muscles that normally pull down the brow. Although easily performed, the improvement will last only 3-4 months. After 4 eyelid surgeries, make sure there is adequate skin in the upper eyelids to properly close the eyes after lifting the brows.

Slight elevation of eyebrows possible with Botox
You are correct in that Botox relaxes muscles. However a skilled injector can take advantage of this. Think of the eyebrow position as a game of tug of war. Your frontalis muscle pulls the eyebrow up and the orbicularis pulls it down. By precisely weakening the orbicularis, the frontalis wins the tug of war and the brow goes up. The results are subtle but very nice. If you only need a slight elevation this is a great solution.
While a brow lift is considered "invasive",...

Botox can often simulate a surgical browlift
Botox has been used for years to smooth upper facial lines. It can also be used to lift and shape drooping eyebrows. By relaxing the muscles that pull the eyebrows down (this can be demonstrated by winking) the eyebrows can be raised up. To achieve a natural shape, the center of the brow, near the nose, can also be raised or lowered to enhance the shape.

Surgical and nonsurgical browlift
There are two ways to elevate the brows. One is with Botox. This requires someone who understands the anatomy of the eyebrow area and the proper use of Botox. Unfortunately, not everyone injecting Botox meets these criteria. If it is put in the wrong place, it can cause descent of the brow. Perhaps this is where your “understanding” comes from.
The more permanent solution is a browlift. Although this used to be an “invasive” procedure, it is now much less so. I...

Non-surgical Brow Lift
4 eyelid operations is a LOT of surgery. This would explain your "deep set eyes" - excessive eyelid fat removal combined with natural aging results in the eyeballs literally sinking deeper into the eye socket.
Botox is a GREAT way to non-surgically lift the eye brows. By understanding facial anatomy, a skilled doctor can selectively weaken the muscles responsible for pulling the brows lower. This results in an easier automatic lifting of the brows by the frontalis muscle....

Botox produces chemical brow lift.
Hi.
Perhaps you don't understand how Botox works. About twenty five units of Botox, skillfully injected, can achieve a subtle but very real lift of your eyebrows.

Brow contouring
One reason your brows are lower may be because of the upper eyelid surgeries you have had: the more skin you cut between the upper eyelid lashes and brow, will bring the brow lower. Another reason for brow lowering is deflation of the brow from age-related volume/fat loss from the brow. By replacing the lost volume (fat, fillers), the brows can be elevated. Botox can elevate the brows too.

Non-surgical brow lift
For more permanent results a brow lfit is the way to go. But, I have had a lot of success with Botox in patients to achieve temporary results.

Non-surgical ways to help sagging brow
The consensus is BOTOX injections done by an expert injector. Simple, effective, and reasonable costs. The only drawback is lasting of the effect. After the Botox than a simple temple lift after the Matarrso technique.
