Expectations of Brow Lift to Reduce Frown Lines?

Since Botox (and Dysport) work so well, most surgeons now only use brow lift surgery if the brow position is obviously low, and not so much anymore for wrinkle reduction.

Additionally, surgical removal of the frown muscles can have the side effect of creating a "divot" if the muscles are removed, or the activity can return if the muscles are simply divided.

Botox is easier, less downtime, less risk, and less cost - but requires maintenance.

In a word...Yes!  A brow lift will not only help minimize or eliminate frown lines, but will also "brighten the eyes" or lift the brow. We also in many cases are able to smooth out forehead wrinkles. I would suggest that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss other options as well such as Botox or resurfacing procedures. Good luck!
