Is It Correct to Put Botox Just Behind the Tail of the Eyebrows to Try to Raise Them?

Absolutely, injecting near the tail of the eyebrow helps relax the downward muscle curve of the orbicularis oculi muscle which is round in nature. This then helps elevate the outer part of the forehead. This is an off-label use of Botox and should be done by a physician who is experienced in this treatment.

The Botox brow lift works by relaxing the obicularis oculi muscle below the later eyebrow.  The frontalis muscle will then elevate the lateral brow.  The key is to use small amounts to adjust the eyebrow height to the desired level.

Botox is a bit of an art form and its placement is not one size fits all.  Its placement can affect the shape and position of the brows.

I often perform what I call a chemical brow lift. Botox between the brows will drop the midbrow, Botox just under the tail of the eyebrow will elevate it.

Microdroplet BOTOX is a method that I developed and patented.  There are a handful of physicians in the US who I have taught to perform this advanced method.  Look on my personal website (lidlift dot com) and you can read about this method in detail.  It is a fantastic treatment option for raising the eyebrows without surgery.

The placement of Botox is dependent on the patient and her muscle movement.  It is possible to raise the tail of the eyebrow with Botox in some patients.  Please have treatment with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is experienced in injecting Botox and can assess your facial movements.

Depending on your anatomy, botox can be used just lateral to the eyebrows and under the center of the eyebrow to lift the eyelids and open the eyes. For the best results, work with a physician who is experienced using botox and has a good working knowledge of the muscles of the face.

It is possible to control the shape and position of the brows with the use of Botox or other neuromodulators by placing them in the muscles that raise or lower the brows. A few units at the lateral position of the brows may help raise the lateral portion of the brows.

Seak an experienced injector to obtain best results.

 

Good Luck

Dear Sarula, Botox has been in use for eyebrow shaping for several years. The number of units injected, & where along the brow [or in the glabella], is best determined by your treating dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, once the two of you agree on the desired shape/position. Raising the outer part [tail] of the brow can be accomplished by injecting 2-3 units in the "tail area".

I often use a small amount of Botox along the tail of the lateral eyebrow and along the crow's feet to elevate the lateraal brow.  Remember, that if too much is placed into the forehead than it will not lift.

This is great way to get a "chemical brow lift".  I like to use two injections of 2.5U each per side placed at the desired brow high point.  The injection has to be low enough that it is into the orbucularis and not the frontalis.  This technique can also be used to correct asymmetry and change the shape of the brow.
