I am 20 years old and would love a brow lift. I've read a lot of reviews from doctors that say someone so young should refrain from a surgical brow lift due to scarring. I know botox is the best option for someone my age, but I am concerned it won't give me enough of a lift. How much change can I expect from the botox?
Answer: Botox brow lifting Thank you for your question. Shaping the brows is one my favorite parts of using Botox. It requires a very detailed understanding of the underlying anatomy as well as assessing each individual while they are animating their brows. By carefully placing Botox in the muscles that depress the brow, you can cause the brow to rest and relax in a lifted position. There are limits to how much you can lift, and for some surgery is better option. Incorrect assessment or placement can also lead to the reverse effect, so overall technique is critical. You can also shape the brow different. For example, you can raise the tail of the brow vs creating a raised arched brow vs creating a raised horizontal brow. It depends on the individual's desired brow aesthetic goals. I would consider this a very advanced technique so I would query your injector on their experience in this area.

Answer: Botox Brow Lift At twenty years old you are likely not suffering from brow ptosis (drop) due to aging or skin damage. Your skin tone is likely quite good and if you are interested in seeing what you would look like with a bit of brow elevation at the sides, you can expect a couple of millimeters of elevation. The elevation is usually subtle in patients with more advanced changes to the brow but at your age the change may be more dramatic.

Answer: Botox for a Subtle Brow Lift Hi Rachel. Botox can be used to give a subtle brow lift. This is usually a few millimeters. This can be done either to the outer brow alone, or if you want a lift of the entire brow treatment of the glabellar area can also help. A few millimeters may be enough for you as too much of a lift can create the constantly surprised look or the "spock" eyebrows. There are also other treatments such as Ultherapy which can give a non-surgical brow lift. For a picture of what you can expect with a Botox lift to the outer brows please click the link below. Hope this helps!

Answer: Chemical Browlift can be achieved with Botox! We certainly see brow elevation when treating the glabella with Botox, but it is usually just a few mm of elevation. For some people with a very slight brow droop (ptosis), it works great. For those with severe ptosis, surgery is necessary. If you are only 20 years old, chances are that you just need a mild lift, and Botox may work well for you. The best option is to consult with a physician and get their opinion.

Answer: Botox Brow Lift is Subtle The "Botox browlift" is generally fairly subtle, raising the tail of the brow several milimeters. The effect is generated by inhibiting the superolateral portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which partially functions to lower the lateral brow.
