Can't achieve straight brows though Botox. Other options? (Photo)

Question

Hi I am a 20 year old male from Australia. I have always disliked the angle my eyebrows are and would prefer a straight style aka. picture 2. I have tried multiply times to get botox injections to solve it to no avail. Is there a surgical procedure that could achieve such a result.it takes very little effort to move the brow ( just feels like loose skin ) My eyebrows naturally join in the middle as well. Thanks. also what would be the name of the procedure and a rough cost bracket.

Thank you for your question about Botox Cosmetic.Yes, judicious use of Botox can be used to alter the shape and position of your eyebrow.To be sure, see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments.I hope this helps.

Dear geoff345:Botox and Dysport were FDA approved on the indication for a 5 point injection technique of the glabella muscle complex between and over the medial brows. This standard technique cannot provide you the shaped brow you are looking for as the injector MUST evaluate and understand the variations of muscle pull creating the various tones and expressions of the forehead.Off-label use of these muscle relaxers by a skilled injector are the best way to achieve your desired results. Please contact a well experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial ENT. I wish you the best!

Geoff,I would make sure that the injector would got very close to the eyebrows especially the lateral eyebrow. When injecting the frontalis this muscle will be inactivated and should flatten the eyebrows.  Trying to achieve this result can take several attempts to reach your goal. good luck
