Do Doctors Normally Inject Filler Into The Eyebrow Area? What About Temples Too?

I have been injecting Restylane off-label for many years in the temples with good rejuvenation success. Radiesse also works well here.  The outer eyebrows are injected with Restylane to create a youthful fullness appearance. There can be brusiing and displacement or movement of the filler which can create an unsatisfactory appearance of the upper eyelid, therefore the treatment is best done conservatively.  If there is an over treatment of the Restylane, some of the result can be diminished by using hyaluronidase, the enzyme which dissolves the Restylane.

Yes, what you heard is true. Botox can be used to give the illusion of raised eyebrows by being injected into the depressor muscles and targeted fibers of the orbicularis occuli. The result is that the medial ends of the eyebrows are pulled down by a few millimeters, thereby achieving a non-surgical brow lift.


If too many units of Botox are used or the injection is not targeted to the depressor muscles, it could cause the eyebrows to droop instead.  


Restylane can be used to add volume to the brow area, if desired, and is commonly used to fill hollows or lines in the forehead/face.

Your question is great because it showcases all the many different areas that Botox and Fillers are being used these days.  Fillers are being used in such places as the temples, the area under the eyes and Botox and Dysport are being used in quite a few other areas than the standard forehead '11' line. 

When I see a patient who has only had their '11's treated, it makes me glad that I can expand the options for these treatments for them.  There are so many new treatments in cosmetic surgery and it sounds like you should consider some of them!

My personal new area to treat favorite is the temple area.  Many women seem to lose this area's fullness over the years, so this is a perfect area to treat.  Good luck!

You are essential asking the details for a non-surgical browlift.  This can be achieved using Botox, fillers, Sculptra, or any combination of the three.  The treatment decision is based on your goals and anatomy.


Injecting a small amount of Botox will slightly raise the lateral eyebrows.  This has little effect on your expression, so I would not be concerned that this would make you look expressionless.  The risk of injecting botox around the eye is a drooping eyelid.  This is very rare, but a possibility.


Fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, or Juvederm and be injected at the superior area of the brow to slightly raise it.  It can be used to smooth a forehead skeletal look.  Sculptra, a collagen stimulator, is also an effective in this area.
I hope this helps!

 

 

I absolutely love using filler in the lateral brow and temples.
It does help give a brow lift, but the effect of filler in what I call the "sunglasses" area is very dramatic, making the patient appear much younger and less tired.
