Botox for Hyperactive Frontalis Muscle? (photo)

Question

I have hyperactive frontalis muscle that makes my right eye brow rise higher than the left. It is my life problem really. Can Botox injection fix it?

Harold J. Kaplan, MD · Answer

Hi Mizo,
Botox can absolutely help with your problem. Botox is specifically designed to relax facial muscles around the eyes and we think based on your description that your problem will be easily addressed with Botox. We suggest finding an experienced practitioner as injecting asymmetrically (different amounts on opposite sides of the face) like this is a bit more technique dependent. Good luck.

Hi Mizo.  Neuromodulators such as Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are effective in the upper third of the face.  Botox will temporarily weaken the frontalis muscle.  I hope this is helpful.  Regards, Andy Shah MD.

Botox is the best for Frontalis hyperactive muscle. It will require maintenace every 3-4 months.

Edwin Ishoo, MD · Answer

Any neuromodulator, such as Botox or Dysport will help temporarily improve the condition by weakening the muscle. It may require more than one treatment for your practitioner to achieve the optimal cosmetic result. Typically, it will require maintenance injections every 3-4 months.
