Do you have to inject the glabella for a Botox brow lift even if the patient doesn’t have the 11s?

Asked By:Jill8944 in Burlington, VT

I keep reading that to achieve a brow lift with Botox, doctors will inject the glabella as well as the lateral part of the brow. My eyebrows are too low at rest and I feel like the lateral parts hang too low. I want them higher and to have more of an arch. I don’t have the 11s or the furrowed brow look. Do doctors have to treat the glabella? I feel like it would be unnecessary in my case and it seems like most of the cost comes from having 20 injections in the glabella.
