How many units of Botox I need for a slight brow raise? (photo)

Question

I'm 25 years old and have never gotten botox before. I want my eyebrows to look arched and raised. How many units of botox I need for this. I don't want it to look crazy just a natural lift. Also thinking about getting juvederm on my lips. The bottom one is pretty plumped but the top isn't and I want them to look even with a natural plump. Would 1 injection of juvederm be enough? Thanks.

Thank you for the question, what you've described with your Botox goals could easily be accomplished with injecting Botox in a method called a "Chemical Brow Lift". This typically takes about 40 units and you can expect a subtle lateral brow lift and softening of lined on the forehead.Starting with 1 vial of Juvederm fro any aesthetic goals is always a conservative/smart choice, as you can always add more later.

Thank you for your question. Typically an eyebrow lift can be achieved with 3-5 units. Preparing for 1ml of dermal filler in your lips to start is reasonable. That being said, an in person evaluation is required to provide accurate dosages. Best,

Botox can be injected to non-surgically lift the brow.  Botox works by temporarily weakening or paralyzing the muscles that pull the eyebrows down.  If the muscles that pull up the eyebrows remain the same strenght then the eyebrows will naturally lift.  If you want to raise the tail of the eyebrow, 2.5 to 5 units of Botox can be injected in that area.  If you would like to raise the part of the eyebrow closest to the nose, I would use around 15 units.I hope this helps.

Overall, the photos show very nice brow position.  If any elevation is to be sought with Botox, it should be subtle.  5 units per side should be an adequate dose.

One syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus XC would probably be enough to give you the balance you desire in your lips.  The brow could probably be treated with 20 units of Botox.
