Eyebrow lift or Botox for Bells Palsy? Recently turned 21, I was diagnosed Bells Palsy when I was 5. (Photo)

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Unilateral bro lift on low side for better symmetry after Bell’s palsy. This will give you a cheaper and better outcome. Your hairline looks high so it should be done using the procedure we developed called the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift Incision so your hairline isn’t raised further. See an experienced surgeon who can show you photos of the hairline without a noticeable scar. 

Hi there, thanks for your question and photo.  It is difficult for me to tell the position of your eyebrows as it is not included in the photo.  In general, synkinesis following Bell's can be improved with Botox.  If your eyebrow is lower on the side affected by the Bell's, you may consider a unilateral brow lift to compensate for that on a long term basis.  In general, I have not found that to be the case for most post-Bell's patients.  Of course, an in-person evaluation can be very helpful to answer theses questions for you.  Best of luck to you!

more predictable and less costly in the long run... and you can have it at your hairline or you can have it at the upper edge of your brow as both would work well.  I would prefer the brow approach as it would be easier and more predictable and very easy to revise if it was not perfect.

Thank you for your question and photo!
An in-person evaluation would be critical to assess your particular facial dynamic movement; however, in general both botox and surgical options can be used in patients like yourself. You might consider starting with botox since it is less invasive and progressing to surgery if needed.
Consider finding an ASOPRS oculoplastic surgeon in your area for a consultation.
Best of luck!

Hello patient2,Nowdays with advent of new and improved procedures and techniques, there is always hope for bells palsy patients. Yes you can opt for Botox but it would be given to the other brow to balance. A surgical procedure can be done to the affected brow to raise it to balance. Your choices will depend on risks, benefits, downtime etc. These will need to be discussed with your surgeon. I suggest seeking out an oculoplastic surgeon to have this discussion. Good luck!Cheers
