Several methods exist to help lift the outer (or lateral) portions of the eyebrows, which are meant to be elevated in a youthful look. The least costly way is to use Botox or Dysport injections to relax the muscles that pull down on the eyelid. This lasts most patients 3-4 months on average. There are non-invasive tissue tightening procedures, such as Ultherapy, that have been FDA-approved for brow lifting. This, like Botox and Dysport, has no downtime, but the cost is higher and the effect will usually last for 1-2 years. Lastly, in more severely heavy brows, a Temporal Brow Lift surgery can be performed (usually under local anesthesia). This a more costly option but its effect will last the longest.

To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Botox or Dysport in the crows foot area will gently lift the outer third, tail, of the brow to a small extent though temporary until repeated about every 3 months. For a more permanent improvement, consider a short scar temple or limited brow lift with the incision hidden in your hair line. See the below reference for more information.

I would treat the area with Ultherapy to tighten the underlying muscle fascia and lift the eyebrows. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Hard to say without photos or exam.  It is possible to lift the ends of the eyebrows with Botox.  Our office does this often.  Best to see an experienced and well trained injector.

Yes, it is certainly quite possible to just lift the tail end of your eyebrows.

	
	This can be achieved with Botox. The different muscles in your face often work in pairs. In simple terms, one will move in one direction. The other will move in the opposite direction.

	
	As you may know, Botox will relax the muscles. For the eyebrows, it will relax the muscles that pull the tail end of your eyebrows down. This will automatically trigger the opposite muscles to pull them up.

	
	The average cost for Botox brow lift is $425.

Try either Botox or Dysport to lift just the tail of the eyebrow. Sometimes Restylane beneath the brow will also give it support and raise the brow.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

If you have Botox injected into the muscles that would naturally pull your eyebrows down, this will lead to an elevation of your brows. In many patients this may be accomplished by injecting frown muscles and crow's feet with approximately 50u Botox. You may be able to achieve tail-brow lifting with fewer units, but this would need to be determined during a consultation.

Hi Asreen,

	One option for a non-surgical face lift of the eyebrows is with either Botox or Dysport. Used appropriately, these cosmetic treatments can help lift the tail or side of the brow, in addition to relaxing facial wrinkles. Unlike plastic surgery, Botox brow lift is temporary, with results lasting a few months. For patients who are younger, most plastic surgeons will help avoid surgery by doing some of the non-surgical treatments first. Cost will vary, but may start at approximately $600. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist can he/she help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Botox can be used to give a conservative brow lift.  The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after two weeks.  The treatment effects will gradually fade over three to four months.  See an expert injector near you to learn more.
