The browlift I had a couple of months ago did not raise the outer corners of my eyebrow. I am guessing I would have seen this effect by now. How long should I wait before I can get botox to my eyebrows to do this. My forehead has no lines on it so I wouldnt need botox there. How many units would you suggest?
Answer: Botox After Brow Lift
Thank you for your question.
Three months after a brow lift is generally an acceptable time to use Botox or Dysport for an additional lift of the outer brow. After three months the swelling from the surgery should have subsided and the position of the brow does not change dramatically from this point on without additional intervention. In order to achieve a temporary additional lift of the outer brow, a small amount of Botox or Dysport may be injected into the upper/outer portion of the circular muscle around the eye (orbicularis oculi). Depending on your desired results, you may require additional surgery as a more permanent solution.
As always if you are unsatisfied with your results it is best to first discuss your outcome with your surgeon.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Botox after brow lift
you should definitely ask your surgeon. You've trusted him or her with your face and as they have performed an elective cosmetic procedure on you, you should first ask them their opinion as to when and how many units of Botox to use at the lateral eyebrow to lift the areas.

Your final result may not be evident for 3-6 months following the procedure. Around the 3 month point, it would be ok to have Botox to raise the lateral eyebrows. Would need to see you in person to determine how many units you may benefit from. You may also use fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane at the superior area of the brow if necessary. Thank you, and I hope this helps!

You can proceed with Botox injections at any time. Without being able to see you in person, it's hard to say just how many units you might need. It's important to remember that Botox is a temporary fix.

Answer: Botox can sometimes raise the brow but not always. Surgery is a more predictable but invasive treatment
Botox to raise the brow works by relaxing the muscles that pull the tail of the brow down (depressors). Some people don't have strong "depressors" so won't get much of a lift. Plus the results aren't always reproducible. If it does work you should see results in a week.
Surgery to raise the brow can be by endoscopic browlift or sub-cutaneous (skin) brow lift. The choice depends on your anatomy and what you want to look like after.
