Answer: Botox for face lift It is very important that the provider you choose understands the function of the muscles and if you paralyze them what the outcome will look like. To answer your question, you will not be able to properly achieve a "lift" by injecting the frontalis muscle along the hair line. The frontalis muscle's main function is to elevate the eyebrows. If you inject it with toxin, you are paralyzing the muscle so that the frontalis muscle will drop down. There is a very small function where the muscle has a depressor action but that area on the muscle is different on everyone and you would need to be evaluated. However, know that it is always easier to drop something down that to lift something up. One benefit of injecting the hairline is to suppress sweating around the hairline and your blow outs will last longer. Another option to give your forehead a lift is to look for a provider that does PDO lifting threads. This would be a better option and sounds more like the outcome you are looking for. Good luck!

Answer: "Liquid (Filler) Facelifts" Do Not Typically Require Botox Filler facelifts have been performed for years for lifting sagging cheeks, volumizing temples and forehead, treating parallel laugh lines around the mouth, defining the jawline, augmenting the chin and improving neck sagging. All of these may be performed without the use of Botox or any other neuromodulator. What is most important is that you consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist so that the appropriate filler(s), amounts and techniques are chosen for your individual problems. When vetting a potential physician, make sure to ask to see his/her personal B&As before ageeing to proceed. Best of luck.
