Botox Dosage for Brow Lift?

Hi, 

Your question is a good one but a little confused if I may say so.

The "botox browlift" is essentially selective treatment of the brow depressor muscles (corrugators, depressor supercilli, procerus, lateral orb oculi) in isolation. This leaves the elevator (Frontalis) to work unopposed and raises the brow.

To answer you question there is no "ideal" dosage to achieve this. It depends on your own muscle position, density, brow postion etc. The most important factor is to have someone who understands this assess you prior to treatment and then selectively target the appropriate muscles. Frontalis should NOT be treated at all!

Hope this helps.

Falawieh,Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Botox dosages are based on the patients skin type, brow heaviness, their brow activity, the crow's feet stamped appearance, and the size and bulk of the muscle among other factors. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon in your area that is recommended or is highly regarded and get his or her opinion on the ideal dose for you. If you've never had it before, I wouldn't be surprised, and I think a good plastic surgeon will tell you, that your first injection will be conservative and then have come back at 2 weeks to tweak the last little bit to determine your muscle 'fingerprint' in the upper face. Good luck

Without seeing you in person to address your specific areas of concern, it is very difficult to answer this question appropriately. Every practice has a standard, and the definitive number of units is hard to "cookie cutter" - or assume would work on each individual face. There is a range that is typically effective,and consulting with an informed and reputable provider is the first step.
