Eyebrow Shaping After Botox?

Question

How long should you wait to get eyebrows shaped (with tweezers) after Botox? Thank you!

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

Although the botox should be in full effect with 1-2 weeks, I have seen a few cases where the brow initially raises slightly more than desired and then adjusts down. So the effect you see at 2 weeks isn't exactly where it will stay 100% of the time.

Mary P. Lupo, MD · Answer

The best way to shape the brows with tweezing is to wait until the brow-shaping effect of Botox has been realized. This takes about 2 weeks. If you do not get enough lift, filler can be added under the brow to lift further.
Good luck.

Bryan K. Chen, MD · Answer

Good question.  I would wait 2 weeks after your Botox injections since Botox tends to peak in effect by that time.  2 weeks is also when you would consider a Botox touch-up.
Good luck.

Botox should have had its full effect by 7 to 10 days. So waiting 2 weeks would be prudent so you know exactly where your brows will be positioned.  Best of luck.

Botox takes about 4 to 7 days to work.  I would give it a little longer to set in so that you don't have changes after you pluck.
