How Long to Wait After Botox to Have Brow Lift?

Botox usually last 3-4 months so you'll want to wait until your brown is settled to its "natural" state before the procedure. 

If your plastic surgeon requires you to wait for the botox to no longer be effective prior to performing a brow lift, then you should wait six months, only longer if you have not regained full function which can be seen in a mirror rather readily.

Botox or dysport usually lasts 3-4 months but if yours lasts 6 months then you should wait until it wears off completely before getting your brow lift. Check with your doc to see what he wants.

Thanks for the great question -
You're right to think about the effects of Botox before a brow/facelift.
In our San Francisco area practice we typically wait 6 months for fillers and botox/dysport type treatments to resolve before proceeding with facelift and browlifts.
Be sure to talk to your surgeon about surgically weakening the muscles that you're getting treated ("your 11s") with botox during your brow lift to make sure that you don't need botox after!
I hope this helps.

You probably want to wait about 4-6 months for the botox to wear off before undergoing a brow lift procedure.

It really depends on how and where the BOTOX was injected.  Ideally, the doctor should evaluate you with no BOTOX first.  We will commonly use BOTOX to relax the brow muscles before we perform a browlift surgery to enhance the effect.  There is nothing wrong with having BOTOX first, but the doctor has to know where your natural brow position is before doing the surgery.  

 

It is best to wait four to five months after your Botox injection to fully address the extent of the corrugator and frontalis muscles and wrinkles.  There are surgical adjustments that are made to the muscles and the wrinkles at the time of the surgery during a brow lift and this may be underdone if there is a Botox effect in place.

Using Botox in the forehead and around the eyes can alter the shape of the eyebrows and prevents the muscles from contracting normally.  In order to receive a full and accurate surgical assessment, you should wait for the effect of the Botox to go away completely.  This will take at least 6 months, to be safe.

How long Botox lasts is an individual matter. If you have any residual Botox effect, it could affect the brow lift, since it would appear you would need less of a correction with the Botox still in. Wait six months to be sure.

 If you have already chosen your surgeon, you should consult with him or her. Otherwise, I would follow your own advice and history, and wait 6 months.
