Can I use Botox for straighter eyebrows?

Question

Can Botox be used to droop the outer part of the eyebrow (the arch), and lift the inner corners of the eyebrows up? My eyebrows are very arched and I want straighter set eyebrows

Ella Fedonenko, MD · Answer

Injecting Botox into Orbicularis oculi and Corrugator superciliimuscles will lower the outer part of the eyebrow and will make your eyebrow look straighter.

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetics provider at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Yes, Botox can be used strategically to soften a high arch and create a more straight-set brow. This approach requires very precise placement and should be performed by an experienced injector. I always recommend scheduling a consultation beforehand to ensure the injector understands your goals and is the right fit for you.

Hi there,

Great question — yes, Botox can absolutely be used to subtly reshape the eyebrows, including softening a high arch and creating a straighter, more balanced brow position.

Here’s how it works:

How Botox Can Help:
Botox works by relaxing specific muscles that pull on the brows. By carefully targeting certain areas:

We can relax the outer brow elevators (like the lateral fibers of the frontalis muscle) to soften or slightly drop the arch.

At the same time, we can relax the muscles that pull the inner brow downward (such as the corrugators and procerus) — this allows the inner part of the brow to lift subtly.

This technique requires precise placement to achieve your desired shape without over-relaxing muscles, which could cause an unnatural result.

Important Considerations:
Results are temporary, lasting around 3–4 months.

Every face is different — a personalized assessment is crucial to map out your unique muscle movements and brow anatomy.

It may take a few treatment cycles to fine-tune your desired shape, especially if you’re transitioning from a naturally high-arched brow.

Yes, Botox can help you achieve a straighter brow shape by adjusting muscle dynamics. It's a popular, non-surgical approach to brow reshaping when done by an experienced injector. I'd be happy to evaluate your brows and create a custom treatment plan for you.

Yes, Botox can be used to alter the look of the eyebrows.  Visit with an experienced injector to discuss your goals for treatment and learn more about what you can expect in terms of results.

Erin Smith, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. To fully address your concerns, a detailed history and physical examination would be prudent. Botox is an extremely useful tool for altering the appearance of various areas of the face. While it may be possible to achieve the desired result you are seeking, a consultation with an experiencing facial plastic surgeon or nurse injector may be of benefit to you.
