What treatment for hypertrophic corrugator muscles? (Photo)

Yes, you have hypertrophic corrugators at a quite young age, which is uncommon and obviously caused by your genetical inheritance (more members of your family may suffer this condition).Treatmet is specific and not as easy as many surgeons think; it is done through a tradicional upper blepharoplasty incision, and there are two tricky elements about the procedure:-it is not enough to transect the muscle, since doing just so leads commonly to reattachment and a functional return, with a new deformity; a portion of the muscle has to be removed in order to weaken it overtime and impede recurrence of your concerning deformity-extreme care has to be taken not to damage the trochlear sensitive nerve which pierces the belly of the corrugator, a paramount importance surgical landmark to be considered and understoodWith toxins (botox and others) you'll get a temporary relief of 5-6 months, with effect decay with every repeated injection treatments, up to total resistance (antibodies formed) in some patients, the only radical and permanent solution is the above mentioned and very well known and widely described corrugators treatment, on which I have solid experience. As you may see... the easy way is just merely inject toxins, few surgeons are familiarized with the corrugators surgery, though many are (mayself as well) with the toxin injection.Feel free to request any additional information.

Thank you for your question. Yes, Botox or another neuromodulator like, Dysport is your best option. From your photo it appears that you have very active corrugator muscles that contribute to your frown in your glabella. With repeated treatments these muscles will eventually atrophy. Please have a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment options best for you. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question and we always recommend that you have a consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area to learn the best treatment options for you.  You will undoubtedly hear that Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are the best options here.  And with an experienced expert injector, this should not be a problem or a concern in correcting.  Good luck.

The mainstay of therapy is Botox or Dysport. This is the most effective and least invasive methods to treat this. About 3 treatments over the course of about 9 months will be needed to start to see atrophy of the muscles. Another treatment is Thermi Rase, which thermally cuts the nerves to the muscles. Results will last a couple years.

Neuromodulators such as Botox Cosmetic, Dysport or Xeomin relax muscles such as the corrugators to help smooth the area. Treatments with an experienced physician injector can give an excellent result.

Botox/dysport  is definitely you best option. Treatment would last 4-6 months. Repeated treatments will eventually cause muscle atrophy . It has been safely used and extensively studied since 1980s. Thermi rase is a non toxin option , which requires a minimally invasive procedure under local anesthesia to damage to the nerves with radio frequency . Results lasts over a year , and will typically cost 7-10x more than Botox injections to that area 

Botox is the right solution, especially since you never tried it and you are young. With repeated treatments your corrugators will be progressively less effective and less evident. As to permanent solutions you could think about thermic ablation (Thermitight procedure) or even surgery, but I think Botox will be effective

From the photos, I wouldn't call your corrugator hypertrophic, it appears to have normal muscle tone.  The only way to treat this muscle action is with Botox.  Botox is incredibly safe and temporary.  If you give it a try you will be amazed how easy and simple it is!  Be sure to see a board-certified physician experienced in Botox!  

Thank you for your question. Yes, based on your photo submitted, it does appear that you have quite active Corrugator muscles that contribute to the frown in your glabella. Neuromodulators such as Botox or Dysport correctly injected into this area have been shown to be currently the most effective and safest method of treating this condition. 

It is essential that you consult with an experienced and highly trained cosmetic injector to ensure that you are safe to have this procedure and that optimal aesethic results (with minimal risk of adverse side effects) are achieved.

Best wishes.
