I had angry #11 wrinkles, like my mom, in H.S! I started Botox early at 25 to prevent permanent lines. I’m 41 and never looked angry! I started getting compensatory wrinkling in the forehead, but, I botoxed that early, too. Ah, 16 years of a nice, flat, smooth as a board forehead! It’s not as effective anymore and I’ve tried Dysport, Xeomin, etc. and I’m up to 60 units every 4 months. I’m broke. Can’t those muscles be permanently snipped or disabled?

Answer: Browlift Hi,During a browlift, the muscles that cause the 11's are usually cut and post-operatively you may not need botox in that area. Unfortunately, the only other way to prevent the muscles from working is cutting the nerves that supply them and that is not an option. Best,

Answer: Answer: What’s the permanent equivalent solution to the effects of Botox? Thank you for your question. "#11" lines are caused by activity of the corrugator supercilii muscle, a paired band-like horizontal muscle located right above your eyes. One option to treat them involves the use of neuromodulation. If you have been requiring increasing dosages to achieve the same result, your body may have developed an immune response. This "resistance" to the effects is caused by your body producing antibodies that fight or inactivate the toxin. An alternative, and more permanent, solution is the surgical resection or cutting of the corrugator muscles. This will provide long term resolution of your symptoms. This can be accomplished either endoscopically, through small incisions hidden in your scalp, or during a brow lift when you will already have an incision made. Either approach can provide you with long lasting results.
