Can Botox Lift the Outer Corners of the Eyebrow?

Yes, Botox can lift the corners of the eyebrow. This may be referred to as a "Botox brow lift." In general,  a non-surgical browlift can be achieved using the following:.

1) Botox
2) Fillers
3) Sculptra, or any combination of the three.

 

The treatment decision is based on your personal goals and anatomy. Injecting a small amount of Botox will slightly raise the lateral eyebrows, and the effect will be evident without necessarily having to move your eyebrows. In addition, the following fillers may be injected at the superior area of the brow to slightly raise it:

1) Restylane
2) Perlane
3) Juvederm

 

The units necessary to achieve the desired effect will depend on your individual circumstances.  I typically will use 2.5 units in the area. Thanks and good luck!

What you are describing is what is commonly called a chemical browlift. A neurotoxin (Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) is injected below the eyebrow to weaken the muscles that are pulling the outermost portion of the brow complex down. You can achieve a very natural and aesthetic result.

A "chemical browlift" is what botox [or other botulinum toxin products] can produce in this area. Between 5-10 units per side is usually satisfactory.

I employ Botox injections to lift the lateral corners of the eye in my practice in LA. The treatment can improve the contours of the lateral eyebrow. Surgery90210

Yes, Botox can lift the brow and here is why - As one of the major muscles  that causes your outside of your brow to be low is a circular muscle (obicuaris oculi), weakening part of it with Botox will let your brow elevate. It is a wonderful effect that most patients love.
