What's the most common injection spot that will cause droppy eyelids? And how many units are reccommended in order to avoid any bad results? I'm scared about possible eye droopy-ness after a botox brow lift. Thank you in advance for your answers!
Answer: Brow lift with Botox Thank you for your question. Botox will need to be careful he injected into the muscles that pull your bro downwards. A physical exam would also help determine whether you're a candidate for this procedure or not, or if you have a risk of developing ptosis (if there is too much brow ptosis or lid laxity).

Answer: Eyebrow Repositioning with Botox For raising the outer third of the eyebrow, your doctor can inject 1-2 units just below that portion of the brow. This will relax the muscle that tends to pull the brow downward, and therebye allow the frontalis muscle on the forehead to hold the brow higher. On the other hand, when treating horizontal forehead wrinkles with botox, we want to relax the frontalis muscle across the whole forehead. If the botox is injected too low, just above the brows, then that low portion of the forehead muscle will relax and will not hold the brow up in its normal position. So the brows will droop. To avoid drooping brows, the botox must not be injected too low or too close to the brows.

Answer: Outer brow lift with Botox Experienced injectors will often use a combination of corrugator muscle injection and upper outer orbicularis oculi injection to achieve a high arch. This is not for beginner injectors. Please make sure you see a properly trained and experienced PS for this.

Answer: Botox to raise the brow Hello anaradova,In order to raise the brow your injector is trying to immobilize the muscle that pulls down the outer eyebrow. I usually use 1-2 units at the first injection placed below the outer part of the eyebrow. Your actual treatment should be discussed with your injector as well as the results that can be expected. There is always a risk of having a droopy eyelid but by keeping the units very low it limits this risk (but cannot completely eliminate it although I have yet to drop an eyelid or eyebrow with this conservative approach). I hope this helps and good luck.
