Will botox help me to stop raising my forehead? It is driving me crazy! (Photo)

Yes, Botox could definitely help. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss the best plan of action for you. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Hello, Thank you for your question. Botox is a substance produced by a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. The drug works by weakening the muscles that cause wrinkles. After injection, the muscle gradually relaxes, and the lines diminish substantially or completely disappear. Botox may help you to achieve your goal of relaxing your forehead. I'd recommend booking a consultation with a qualified injector, to determine if you're a good candidate for this procedure. Take care. 

It appears that you have eyelid and possibly eyebrow ptosis.  It is possible that injection of Botox into the muscles that hold the eyelids down may help raise your brows a bit.  Injection of Botox into your forehead runs the risk of making your eyelids and eyebrows feel even heavier.  I strongly suggest seeing someone who is highly experienced

Thank you for your question in regards to Botox.Yes, Botox can help.To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

A board-certified plastic surgeon is your best option, as she/he will help you understand what a neurotoxin like Botox could do for you.  If injected correctly, it can raise your brow so that your eyebrows have a little lift. Good luck with your surgery in March!

Botox would help lines on your forehead and help you stop "raising" but it may lower your eyelids and worsen your ptosis. I suggest you see someone for a formal consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

BOTOX can be used to elevate the brows but I wound not recommend it for you. Your brows appear to be in good position. You would benefit from your ptosis repair and upper lid blepharoplasty.  

Yes. Botox can help. However, this could result in heaviness in your eyebrows and could cause your upper eyelids to be more crowded. Further, if you do have eyelid ptosis this can interfere with how high you can raise your brows to compensate for the ptosis and could make your eyelid droop appear more pronounced. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

This is an excellent question. When we carefully examine your photos, your right brow and eyelid are heavier than your left.  You have excess weight and hang from your brow and eyelids.  Your body is trying to allow you to have full visual fields throughout the day, so it naturally raises the forehead so that the excess weight and skin will not interfere with your vision.  Placing botox here may help some, but you run a high risk for making your brow appear heavier and less mobile, thus giving you more brow and eyelid skin excess.  I think you should consult with a surgeon that is well-trained in brow and eyelid surgery, and then decide if botox is right for you.  it really helps to see you in person to analyze this.Best of luck.

Yes.  Botox is the easiest way we accomplish this short of surgery.  Botox will temporarily relax the muscles of the forehead and allow for a more youthful look of your face.  I think that based on your photos you would be an excellent candidate for botox.  Please speak with a local board certified plastic surgeon to make sure there are no other issues that might preclude you from having the procedure done.  Good luck.
