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: Solutions for forehead or brow lifting and alternatives to botox As stated there are options available such as Forehead lift with or wtihout corrugator resection. Brow lifts can be achieved using at least 5 different approaches transblepharoplast (throught the eyelid) direct (above the brow) through an existing line in the forehead in front of the hairline in the hairline (coronal) endoscopic limited incision (temporal) Approaches can pass over the bone, under the muscle or under the skin. The best option for your husband will be determined after consulting with a plastic surgeon. Other alternatives include the use of radiofrequency destruction of the temporal branch of the facial nerve. Although we thought this would be permanent, it typically resutls in a long term correction (1-2 years).

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.
