Can I Make my Eyebrows Flat, Instead of Arched Through Botox Injections?

Botox when placed lower on the forehead has the effect of slightly dropping the brow, resulting in a more horizontal brow shape.  You do not want it placed too low as it could have the unwanted effect of dropping the eyelid, however.  A careful analysis of your forehead by your physician can determine the best placement of the botox to have the effect you desire.

Depending on the initial shape of the brow and frontalis movement, one can place Botulinum toxin A in a distribution that would flatten the brow instead of arch it. If one already has heavy brows to begin with, which is possibly contributing to the “arched look” as it is compensation from the Frontalis muscle to allow one to open the eye and see more, you run the risk of feeling like your brows are heavy if you try to flatten them. You may want to consider something like ULtherapy (FDA-approved for a nonsurgical brow lift) that takes 20 minutes to perform, and could be done on the more medial aspect of your brow to even out the shape.  Good luck.

Botox or Dysport can certainly be used to titrate the position of your brows, but keep in mind that the only way to lower the brow is to reduce the activity of the muscle that elevates the brow (frontalis).  The reason this is important is that your facial expressions will limited in terms of the movement of your brows, the more they are lowered with Botox or Dysport.  

If the peak or arch of your brows is the only area that bothers you, you could potentially flatten them by injecting 2.5 units of Botox or 5 units of Dysport in the frontalis where your brows peak.  

Yes, you can change the position of your brow, however without assessing you in person to first determine need, it's difficult to answer your question. You should consider posting pictures.

Definitely. Conservative Botox treatment can be used to shape and create a more masculine looking eyebrow. If typically requires 4-6 units if you're only seeking to flatten the brow. If done conservatively there is little risk of dropping the entire brow. I prefer Botox in this instance as it tends to diffuse less and create more precise results.
