I'm 48 yrs., with having had minimal sun bathing exposure.. no visible damage to forehead skin, yet I've notice a slight drop of my BROW area. Nature is so CRUEL. I don't deserve this; never drank alcohol. I've had my eye lids cut 4 times, removal of excess skin, (which wasn't really bad); just trying to achieve a more open look to my "deep set" eyes. Hate the thought of brow lift..too INVASIVE. Now I'm understanding that Botox relaxes this area even more, having ADVERSE affect. Too bad no invention to inject into musclse something to STIFFEN / or expand.
Answer: Botox can often simulate a surgical browlift Botox has been used for years to smooth upper facial lines. It can also be used to lift and shape drooping eyebrows. By relaxing the muscles that pull the eyebrows down (this can be demonstrated by winking) the eyebrows can be raised up. To achieve a natural shape, the center of the brow, near the nose, can also be raised or lowered to enhance the shape.

Answer: Non-surgical ways to improve brow position The most common non-surgical way to improve the brow position is with Botox injections placed in locations that help to lift the brow rather than cause it to drop. While the effect is often subtle, and less of an improvement than a surgical brow lift, there is essentially no downtime and very low risk.Keep in mind that an endoscopic brow lift can be performed that is less invasive than many other brow lifting techniques such as coronal or trichophytic approaches.All the best,

Answer: Chemical brow lift Hi, There are non-surgical ways to achieve brow elevation. The eyebrows are lifted by 1 large muscle that covers the forehead and they are pulled down by 3 different muscles. If you have normal function of the brow lifter and overly strong function of the brow depressors, selectively weakening the brow depressors with botox/dysport will result in an overall lift of the brows (like a game of tug-of-war). Filler can also be injected at the tail of the eyebrow to help give some lift. These procedures require a thorough understanding of the face and should only be performed by an expert. Hope this helps, Mehdi Sina, MD

Answer: Non-surgical browlift can be accomplished with Botox Botox injected into the muscles above the brow can "turn off" the downward pull on the brow and allow the upward pull to take over and slightly raise the brow. You must be sure, however, that you do not have the forehead muscles injected at the same time, or that will cause the brow to droop! Make sure you see an experienced injector for this treatment. Injection of the forehead muscle in people with already low brows is the most common mistake I see done by inexperienced injectors.

Answer: Botox can relax or lift Botox can do both: relax or lift the brow. It all depends on which muscles are targeted. If your issue is “slight”, then I recommend you try Botox out first. Make sure to choose an injector who has plenty of experience performing this treatment.

Answer: Brow lift without surgery Thank you for the question. I agree with the other experts -- four upper eyelid surgeries is likely at least 2 too may! Every time skin is removed from the upper eyelid, the eyebrow is lowered. You can achieve a lifted looking brow in many non-surgical ways. These include brow sculpting/threading, permanent makeup (tattoo), Latisse (applied to the brow hairs), and Botox. For a Botox browlift, the medicine is not injected into the forehead -- rather, it is placed at the upper and outer edges of the eyelid muscle (orbicularis). Best of luck!
