Can I undergo botox or another procedure to change the shape of my eyebrows? (photos)

Question

My eyebrows are arched and I never liked how they look because it makes me look angry. However I’m still young and it isn’t a matter of aging. Is there a way to change my eyebrow shape completely that way? I’m looking for more of a straight /flat look. My eyebrows are the ones in the first picture and the second and third is what I’m looking to do if possible.

Yes, Botox can definitely change the shape of your eyebrow! You can drop the brow by injecting the lateral brow, but you don't want to get too much Botox in that area as it can cause too much of a drop in the brow. The Botox won't last as long since it's not as much as another treatment area would get, but you can still achieve desired eyebrow shape.

Botox injections relax the muscles in which it is injected. It can be used to lower the arch in brows, or to lift brows. It can be used to alter the shape of the brow slightly, but it would most likely not be a drastic change. A few units injected just above the arch would cause the arch to sit a little lower.

From your photos it appears you have a very nicely shaped brow.  If you would like to change it you can achieve it with Botox.  You want to be sure to select an experienced injector as you do not want to flatten it too much or cause a heavy look to the eyes.

To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In experienced hands, Botox, skillfully injected, can adjust the elevation of the brows. And the techniques are nothing new.  I personally have been performing this for over three decades. Make sure to consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. And best of luck.
