Hi! I am 35, and have had a deep furrow between my eyes for years now, and never really minded it. However, recently it's gotten worse, and I am thinking about doing something about it. I'd never considered having cosmetic surgery before but it's really bothering me. I don't even need it to disappear completely; I'd be happy if it became less noticeable. I was wondering what you would recommend? Botox, brow lift, or something else? Thanks!

Answer: Treatment options for deep brow furrow I would say the simplest solution to improving the deep furrows between your eyebrows would be to use Botox to relax the muscle causing them and a filler to help raise the indentations. There are a variety of fillers that could be used for this purpose.

Answer: Easy answer is "botox" but... The easy answer is to do botox to the space between your eyebrows to weaken the vertical lines. However, you also have a deep horizontal line in your forehead. This is a compensatory mechanism to raise your eyebrows. The most important underlying anatomic problem that has yet to be discussed is your upper eyelids. Based on your photos, you have significant ptosis (droop) of your upper eyelids. Addressing the upper eyelid ptosis will go a long way towards decreasing the drive to elevate your eyebrows. Doing botox to the glabella and forehead alone, without addressing this problem could be problematic and significantly decrease your visual field. From a surgical standpoint, you would benefit from both upper eyelid ptosis repair and a brow lift. Non surgical approach is botox, but you have to be careful not to treat the horizontal lines unless your eyelid ptosis is fixed.An oculofacial plastic surgeon (Oculoplastic surgeon) would be a great option for consultation.Good luck
