I have deep furrows between my eyes and if I'm not animated or smiling I look mad/mean. I am having a full face lift and my surgeon said he could burn the corrugator muscles but there is only a 50% chance it will work. In my research I have never come across this technique. I'm 60 years old and I would like a more permanent solution other than botox injections.

Answer: Weaking the corragator by direct vision and excision of portions of the muscle The technique which I use is to remove a portion of the corragator muscle during an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The muscle is visualized above the level of the orbital rim. One must take care not to injure the branches of the supratrochlear and supraorbital sensory nerves. These nerves run through the muscle, some temporary numbness in the scalp may occur after the procedure. I have found this technique to be very safe, have a high satisfaction rate and minimal complication rate.

Answer: Browlift for corrugator muscle resection When deep vertical lines are located between the eyebrows, a brow lift is performed, not a facelift. During the brow lift procedure the brows can be lifted, the corrugator muscle complex softened with the muscle being divided and a portion removed. If there is dermal atrophy present, a fascia graft is inserted between the muscle and the dermis. Depending upon placement of the incisions, the hairline can be raised or lowered. For many examples, please see the link below to our brow lift photo gallery
