Hi I got 32 units of Botox in my forehead today 20 along my hairline and 4/4 in brows and 4 in my frown. My question is about the 20 in my hairline - I went for an eyebrow lift today and my injector insisted that the 20 along my hairline will help pull my eyebrows higher (since my forehead is on the bigger side) I don’t know if this is true. Is it?

Answer: Botox Question Dear Yolanda00,Thank you for your question. What your injector is describing does not anatomically make sense. The frontalis muscle along the hairline pulls your eyebrows up. Inactivating any part of it will decrease upward pull on the eyebrows.Good luck,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Answer: Botox When injecting Botox in the Forehead by your hairline it will not cause the eyebrows to raise. When patients come to see me for Botox and are wanting a chemical eyebrow lift I inject slightly under the outer brow. By doing this it paralyzes that muscle that pulls the eyebrow down and thus causes the eyebrow to raise. I hope this helps and be sure to see a Doctor who is Board Certified to get the best care.
