Can plastic surgeons burn the corrugator muscles during facelift to stop them from working? Age 60

April 18, 2014

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.
