Hi i was born with extremely high arched eyebrows. I am a male but my eyebrows are way to feminine. I wanted a more masculine look with lower eyebrows. can botox lower my eyebrows even inches from where they are now? or is surgery necessary? and if botox is truly a solution how many inches or how much will it lower them?

Answer: Lower Eyebrows for Men? Botox is a great temporary option to adjust eyebrow position. You asked about lowering your brows by "inches." Botox will not do that nor to do you need that much repositioning of your brow. Careful Botox injection can adjust your eyebrow position to create a more flat, masculine brow shape. As a fellow sufferer of overly arched eyebrows I can tell you that this works very nicely if performed by an experienced injector. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Answer: Lowering the Brow with Botox- Yes, you can Ask Dr Ellen
Hello annonymous2000,
You are right on target with your comment.
Botox can assist in elevating the brow when injected into the brow depressors.
Relaxing the depressors, reduces the 'pull down' of the lateral brow
Botox can assist in lowering the brow when injected into the brow elevators.
Relaxing the elevators, reduces the 'pull up' of the lateral brow
TIP:
1. start with tiny amounts of Botox, strategically placed (you can always add more)
2. don't expect inches, and remember millimeters can make a big difference
3. find someone who is very familiar with facial anatomy and Botox
Thanks for asking! Dr Ellen
