I want my brows towards the inner corner of my eyes to be slightly lifted. Why can't injectors get it right? Usually ends up doing to opposite!
Answer: Lifting Brows with Botox Remember that Botox will relax whatever muscle it is injected into. All muscles have an opposing muscle. So if you want an area to go up, inject the muscle that pulls the area down. In your particular question, I would recommend injecting the Botox into the muscle just under the eyebrow, all the way to the inner corner. This must be done judiciously or you may get a temporary droop of the upper eyelid. Make sure that you are going to see Board-certified providers with a lot of experience in this area for best results.

Answer: The truth is they talk about it but don't know how to do it. The FDA approved 11 line treatment with FDA approved crows feet treatment can weaken the brow depressors enough in some patients produce a brow lift effect. That does not always happen because the botulinum toxin used to make the 11 line treatment can drift upward to weaken the central brow resulting in weakness and central brow droops. That is the cause of the Mephisto or vulcan forehead: compensatory lateral brow recruitment. Not so good. Most cosmetic botulinum toxin forehead treatments do not just use the FDA approved areas but also include treatment across the forehead. This also weakens the muscles of the forehead and produces that stone cold frozen forehead that most everyone wants to avoid. Study my patented Microdroplet Lift. It is treatment technique that precisely injects botulinum toxin is very tiny droplets along the eyebrow, crows feet and 11 line area. The dose applied is typically 33 or 50 units of Botox or Xeomin. Dysport is dosed differently than these. By precisely delivering this treatment and leaving the forehead untreated, the muscles at the eyebrow that function to pull the brow down are selectively weakened. This reduces the work that the forehead needs to do. The treatment directly softens the resting brow pinch, the forehead lines diminish because this muscle does not need to work as hard against the brow depressing muscles. There is a mild elevation of the brow, improvement of the brow pinch including the 11 lines, smoothing of the forehead with no brow freeze.

Answer: Brow Lift with Botox/Xeomin/Dysport This is difficult to answer without pictures. Usually injections are made to the glabella to lift the brow. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Brow lift with botox Sorry to hear that your injections have been frustrating. It's important to realize that Botox weakens muscles, so unless the injected muscle is one that actively pulls the brow downward, it may be difficult to get any true brow elevation with these injections. However, the corrugator and procerus muscles (the ones that create the 11s between the brows) while mostly pulling the brows together do create some minor downward movement as well. Injecting these muscles will most assuredly soften the lines between the brows but also may result in some mild medial brow elevation that you are describing. Just make sure you don't expect a dramatic lift because that is unlikely. Good luck.

Answer: Botox brow lift hi, injecting Botox at the corrugator (muscle towards the head of the brow) allows the muscle to relax and elongate, and nicely lifts the brows. Depending on the thickness of the muscle, more or less Botox units may be needed to achieve this subtle lift. Visit a plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or oculoplastic surgeon - someone who knows the anatomy well and can obtain the best results for you!
