How much of a brow lift can botox alone achieve? (photo)

Question

As you can see from the photo, my eyebrows sit very low on my face, making my forehead look a fivehead. What can I realistically expect from botox injections in that brow area? Many thanks.

Botox to the forehead will lower the brow, not raise it; if placed into the crows feet area or the corrugator muscle that causes vertical furrows between the eyebrows, you can get some elevation. Make sure your injector is experienced and knows what you want for brow shaping.

I think you have a great result with Botox brow lift. If corrected injected can give you great natural result without the operated look. I certainly think that looking at your picture he was greatly benefits from it.

You appear to be very young from your picture. Your eyebrows have a nice arch to them, however they do sit a bit low towards the middle. Botox will you your brows a subtle lift in this area. It may be enough for you, but I don't think it will make much difference in the size of your forehead. Another option would be to do Ultherapy on your brows. It provides more of a brow lift than Botox does, but once again it wont make much of a difference in the size of your forehead. Hope this helps.

I agree with Dr. Weiner that Botox typically creates a very subtle lift in the brows. However, I actually think you have very pretty brows and that they are well positioned. For people who complain of a high forehead, forehead reduction is typically the best option. Other options such as wearing bangs can also make a significant impact. However, I don't think that raising your brows is the right answer if your main concern is the length of your forehead. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Botox can lift the shape of the brow, eyebrows and forehead compared to the rest of the face.  Your photo shows a beautiful perfectly structured eyebrow shape and brow and I am concerned you may be unhappy after Botox.
