My husband is in his late 30s and has severe wrinkles around his eyes and forehead. He is very expressive and his wrinkles are getting bad so quickly.He has done Botox and it helps, but it is very expensive for him. They use so much with him that it is usually around $500-700 and only last a few months.We just can't afford to that 3x a year plus some of the other stuff he is doing. Is there a more permanent option that he could be working toward (Blepharoplasty and Forehead lift) or is just Botox?
Answer: Permanent solution for forehead and eye wrinkles There are alternatives to Botox for wrinkles in the upper face. Brow lifting can help with some of these wrinkles, but surgical brow lifts usually do not eliminate forehead wrinkles long-term (even with aggressive treatment of the forehead muscles). Certain resurfacing procedures (like lasers or deep chemical peels) can help to improve forehead wrinkles, but even still may not eliminate them altogether. Unfortunately, Botox is still often needed even with some of these procedures. These procedures could potentially increase the effectiveness of the Botox or allow for lower dosing to be used, but be wary of surgical options that promise to remove all wrinkles in the upper part of the face.

Answer: Forehead wrinkles are sometimes from low brows or extra eyelid skin Botox is a good treatment to relax frown lines, brow lines and crow's feet. Patients seeking a longer lasting result may be a candidate for surgery. The frown lines can be softened by surgically removing some of the muscle called the corrugator. Horizontal lines may be from the need to hold up ones brow to keep drooping eyebrows or overhanging eyelid skin from leaning on the eyelashes. in that case, a browlift or blepharoplasty is the surgical alternative. I suggest you seek a consultation with a specialist in surgical facial rejuvenation to see what is best for you.
