Botox only in Lateral Frontalis muscle?

Thank you for your question regarding the use of Botox to achieve a more masculine eyebrow appearance. Adjusting the position of the eyebrows with Botox is a common request, and focusing on specific areas can indeed help achieve your desired look. Here’s some information that might help:

Targeting the Lateral Frontalis:
Injecting Botox into the lateral portion of the frontalis muscle can help relax the muscle in that area, which may reduce the arch of the eyebrows and create a straighter, more masculine appearance.

Considerations:
It’s important to approach this carefully, as the frontalis muscle is responsible for lifting the eyebrows. Over-relaxation could lead to a heavy brow or an undesired droop. A skilled injector will be able to balance the treatment to avoid these outcomes.

Customized Treatment:
The amount and placement of Botox should be tailored to your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. A consultation with an experienced practitioner is crucial to determine the best approach for you.

Gradual Adjustments:
Sometimes, achieving the perfect brow shape may require gradual adjustments over a couple of sessions. This allows for fine-tuning and ensures a natural result.


I recommend discussing your goals in detail with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience in cosmetic injectables. They can assess your facial structure and provide personalized advice to help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

Hi there.

I would be mindful in treating just the lateral areas of the frontalis as you may find you develop a subsequent bulge of the medial aspect of the muscle.
I would suggest still placing a small amount of Botox in the medial part of the frontalis too.

Yes, this is possible. The placement in theory should help to achieve the results you desire. You would most likely still need to treat the full frontalis, but I would recommend increasing your dose in units to give you the best results.
