I'm not intested in Botox...too many terrible experiences with it!!! I would like a slight browlift on my lateral brows to get rid of some of the excess lid skin..browlift surgery recommended for my case. Can fillers simulate a browlift? If so, how does this work..ie., what area is it injected, what filler would be used, ? I don't have a lot of forehead wrinkling (yet), just want to open my eyes a little. Also, if filler is still there when I finally want surgery, will it be in the way?

Answer: Brow lift with dermal filler HI there thank you for your query. Hyaluronic acid based dermal filler can certainly be used to create brow lift. There are two important considerations here: 1. Temporal filler can improve and support the lateral aspect / outer part of the eye brow in those with with temporal hollowness. 2. If the above is not an issue, filler can be place beneath the muscle that surrounds the eye at a point above the eyebrow that can create a physical eye brow raise. I do hope this helps! Please do ensure you see an advanced aesthetic practitioner when considering and treatments. Best wishes, Dr Rupert

Answer: Dermal Fillers Can Absolutely Lift the Lateral Brow Dermal Fillers (and fat transfer) correctly used could give a subtle brow lift. This is an advanced technique so make sure to ask your doctor if they've done it before. It can also be used when a patient had an over zealous doctor who dropped their brow with Botox to lift their brow. This technique is also great for temporal wasting when the hallowness is filled with dermal fillers (or fat) it can lift the brow.

Answer: Brow lift without surgery or botox. Raising the eyebrow and opening the eye with filler Off-label use of fillers has been done to fill out the outer eyebrow which then helps raise up its position in the right candidate. This in turn can raise up the loose folding or hooding skin of the upper eyelid. See a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine if you might have enough improvement with this technique vs. surgery. I prefer restylane or juvederm fillers for this off-label use. bruising and lumps are possible but uncommon. Lumps from overcorrection can be dissolved with an enzyme but lumps from bruising take a week or more to go down, but this is very unusual to occur when the doctor uses gentle technique, the right filler for your face and finesse.
