Will a direct brow lift help with glabellar lines and droopiness between eyes?

Thank you for your question. Unless your brow has fallen so significantly that it has impaired your vision, a direct brow lift is unlikely to be the correct option for you. You may benefit from an endoscopic or one-centimeter incision brow lift to reduce droopiness and the appearance of glabellar lines, though it is difficult to make a proper suggestion without photos.
I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your concerns and determine what treatment option may be best for you.

Hello!First of all thank you for your question.It is unfortunately not possible to give feedback without photos. If you can provide your face photos, it would be better to evaluate then.

I don't believe that a direct browlift will improve your glabellar lines and medial droopiness. I would recommend a transcutaneous or "trichophytic" browlift to address these concerns. All of the lines and wrinkles of the forehead are improved with an open browlift.

Browlifts lift and reposition the eyebrows to an attractive shape. As part of that wrinkles should decrease. But, the motion of the muscle will still create lines. That's why botox is helpful to minimize those even after a browlift. However, if you don't like botulinum, you can ask the doctor to remove or reduce the corrugator muscles. That should reduce the wrinkling in that area. (And should help with migraines as well!)

It is very difficult to give you proper answer without at least a photo. Glabelar lines and droopiness can be very succesfuly treated with Botox. Brow lift, endoscopic or open, will also address this area. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in brow lifts, is recommended. Good luck.

"​For glabellar lines (or frown lines / ""11"" lines), we inject Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport into the muscle, causing the muscle to weaken and improving the appearance of the lines. These work by binding to receptors that send nerve signals for muscles to contract. Since your body makes new receptors and neurotransmitters all the time, it needs to be maintained otherwise the wrinkles will slowly return as the muscle regains function over time. Neurotoxins take 2 to 4 weeks to start working and lasts for up to 6 months.

For deeper glabella lines or strong 11s, I use a combination of Botox with fillers, lasers and microneedling with PRP. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and expert in lasers and fillers. Best, Dr. Emer
