Can a botox brow lift separate eyebrows that are too close together? (photos)

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.
As far as how many units may be needed, this also depends on which part of the brow you want to correct. For the inner brows, you may consider ~20 units (same as the frown line treatment). Depending on where you place the Botox, you can also effect a widening of the inner brows.  For the middle or outer brow, I generally use up to 5 units on each side.

Thank you for your question. In some circumstances treating the glabella area can smooth the area between the brows allowing the eyebrows to appear further apart. You can achieve a modest lift with Botox. Consult an expert injector to discuss your options for treatment. Best,

As a result of injecting the frown lines between your brows, you may notice some spreading of the area.  Threading or other methods of hair removal are also great options.

Without a doubt you will get what you want. The muscles in your "glabella" or the area between your eye browns work by pulling your browns down and in. When we inject botox, the opposite happens, your brows move out and up. In many people, this can result in some separation of the eye brows. Alot of this depends on the elasticity and pliability of your skin but nevertheless, you often will see these positive changes. 

Botox can be used to shape and move the eyebrows, but this has to be individualized and the injections need to be tailored.  Seek a cosmetic dermatologist with a lot of experience.  We would gladly take care of you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox can be used to relax certain muscles that will allow the brows to separate some. How much depends on the individual. It can be done along with lifting another part of the brow. 

The area that is treated with Botox to raise the brows would not have any effect on how close the brows are to each other.  It may be possible to treat the area in between the eyebrows to get some relaxation there which may help to separate the eyebrows a bit.  

Injection the glabella with Botox and the depressor supercilii will raise the inner brows and separate them.  Make sure that the frontalis muscle is not injected too much or you will negate the positive effects of the first injection.  Sometimes, medial brow injection with a dermal filler can help this condition too.  Steve Weiner, MD, Facial Plastic Surgeon. 

It is possible to lift and spread the inner eyebrows by injecting your frown lines with Botox.  Please consult an experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can assess your muscle movement and plan treatment for you.

Thank you for your question. It is possible to acheve some relaxation between the brows and cause the apperence of lifting with Botox injections. You can not predict how much if any separation you will get with this treatment. Make sure you go to and experienced injector.Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard
