I keep reading Dr's comments saying that eyebrow droop avoidance is down to a skilled dr who knows where to place the injections. As a patient, can you please tell me where those correct areas are so that I know if the person doing it is doing it right? I have mild/moderate horizontal forehead lines and still want to keep movement in my forehead but get rid of the lines.

Answer: Where are the right places to inject Botox to avoid eyebrow droop? This is a common concern.It is more to do with understanding anatomy and the basis of the forehead wrinkles than the skill of the injector. I guess a skilled injector will understand the anatomy well.The forehead muscle ( frontalis) is mainly responsible for lifting the eyebrows. It also has small connections between the muscle and the forehead skin. When the Frontalis lifts the eyebrow the connections between the muscle and the forehead skin create the forehead wrinkles. So the skill here is to inject between the skin and the frontalis muscle rather than to inject INTO the frontalis muscle. People refer to this as 'droplet' or 'micro botox'. If you inject into the Frontalis muscle you will weaken the ability of the frontalis to LIFT the eyebrow.All the best

Answer: Brow drop Great question. In the forehead the injections should be kept high, and a certain distance above the brow should be left untouched. The precise amount depends on your anatomy and brow position. Second, by injecting the glabella (region between eyebrows above the nose) one can actually open up the mid forehead, thus this second region is usually injected at the same time as the forehead.
