Botox Brow Lift Injection points technique. Which technique is best used, see A/B/C/D options. What's your opinion? (Photos)

Question

Hi! I'm 30 blessed by not having any wrinkles jet, but my eyebrows dropped a little. This gives me a heavy/tired feeling of brows and eyelid. I just want a small lift of the mid brow and corner brow. Most of my friends with Botox brow lift had option B, also on YouTube I saw that a lot. At a consult I told this to the injector and she said only option C works (12U) and B doesn't make any sense. I am not sure about this as on YouTube I saw good brow lift result in young people with option A/B/D?

even tho this is great in theory, results can only be determined by seeing you in person and looking at your movement. I suggest you see an expert. Start dermarolling at this time. Best, Dr. Emer.

The problem with your YouTube and diagrams like the ones you present is that you never know exactly what is done.  The diagrams, however, have several things in common.  First they all put Botox below the corner of the eyebrow laterally.  To obtain and eyebrow lift, this is an essential point of injection.  However, frequently you need to not simply put it in that one small spot but to treat the entire lateral orbicularis muscle, one of the depressors of the eyebrow.  The other thing in common is that none of them treat the low frontalis over the eyebrow.  The frontalis muscle is the only thing that lifts the eyebrow.  Gravity and the depressor muscles, lateral orbicularis as well as the procerus and corrugator muscles between the eyebrows with some contribution by the central orbicularis, or what causes the eyebrow to droop.  Diagrams A and B treat the procerus and corrugators.  Diagrams B and C have nothing to do whatsoever with elevating the eyebrow, other than showing methods of reducing some of the forehead wrinkling from the frontalis without dropping the brow.  You need to concentrate not on figuring out exactly what needs to be done or which diagram to have followed, but which inject or to use who fully understands the anatomy of the area and how Botox can change this anatomy to achieve your desired result.
