Can Botox or a filler raise the brow 4-5 mm?

There are multiple options to non-surgically raise the brow.  These options included: 

Botox

Dermal Fillers

 

When performing a nonsurgical brow lift with Botox, I weaken the muscles that draw the brows down while allowing the muscles that raise the brows to function normally. I can also use facial fillers to raise the brow slightly. You can watch the following video to learn more about your options.

Botox can definitely help with elevating brows and the degree of lift is ready dependent on the patient anatomy as well as the skill of the doctor doing the injections.In some situations, other treatments such as fillers can help as well.Please make sure you see an expert doctor.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko.

It is unlikely that you could get a small lift from Botox, but in our practice we combine Botox with other fillers "layered" on top to get the most conservative natural look. I would suggest trying Botox first before proceeding to the surgical route. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Unfortunately botox cannot raise the eyebrows 4-5mm.  At best it will raise it by 1-2mm.  There are surgical and other non-surgical approaches to raising the eyebrows.  Consult with your provider to get all your options before making a decision.  Good luck

Thank you for your question Adeen. Botox is a great treatment for adjusting the position of the brow. Typically I am able to adjust the position of the brow by one to two millimeters with Botox. A five millimeter elevation is significant and I have not seen this with Botox. Even with Ultherapy I have not seen an elevation of more than 2 millimeters. A surgical alternative might be better for people who desire further elevation. I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon for specific advice. Good luck!

It really depends on your own personal anatomy. It's theoretically possible to achieve a more significant lift without surgery, but this approach may not be the best for every patient. It's important to have a consultation with a highly experienced injector, preferably a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. You may get better results by using BOTOX Cosmetic in conjunction with a dermal filler, which can contribute to a lifting effect.

Botox or Dysport are excellent choices to raise the eyebrow slightly. The amount is not the same for all people and injection technique is critical. Try that first before spending extra for dillers. Good luck.

If you were told that you could get 2-3 mm, why not try that first? The improvement may just be enough to make you happy, and all without surgery! If it indeed is not enough, you may want to consider a lateral browlift oncee the Botox has worn off and you're back at your baseline appearance. I wouldn't use artefill until a less temporary filler has proven to give the effect you want. Best of luck!

Botox alone probably won't raise your eyebrows 5 mm.  Filler under the tail ends of the brows can raise them a little more.  I prefer to use Restylane there.

Botox can be used to raise the eyebrows, however, I wouldn't promise more than 2 mm to anyone. Fillers injected in the fat pad beneath the brow and into the temples can also help raise the brow. I recommend an in-person consultation with an experienced injector. I would avoid Artefill around the eyes and for this particular indication.
