Hi, My brows are sagging and my forehead skin is very loose. I would like to get a browlift one day when finances allow. I'm thinking about botox for my eyebrows, but my forehead skin is still loose. I asked a doctor about having a threadlift in the forehead as a temporary holdover until a browlift, but was told that threads don't do well in that area. What are some alternatives? Forehead chemical peel? If so what strength? Laser resurfacing has left me with multiple scars in the past. Thanks.

Answer: Non-Surgical Alternatives To A Forehead Brow Lift Based on what you are describing, I thought you might be interested in learning about a case study from my practice at the Dr.U Hair and Skin Clinics in Los Angeles. Like you, this female patient was interested in tightening the forehead area and raising her eyebrows which have started to sag. Since she wanted to achieve her objectives without surgery, we decided to use Botox. By appropriately relaxing the muscles responsible for her sagging forehead we were able to create a natural looking, tighter appearance. As you can probably see from this example, raising the eyebrows was also possible for this individual. This requires targeting a very different set of muscles from the ones treated in the forehead area. For the eyebrows, we relax just one of the muscles within a pair in order to activate and lift the other set which then raises the tail end of the sagging brows.

Answer: Loose forehead skin Whenever loose, sagging skin is present, there are not too many options outside of actually removing excess skin. In the forehead area, threads really don’t work, and Botox may make your brows sag even more. Pictures of your brow would have been helpful to provide more specific advice. Brow lifts can be done under local anesthesia, thus making them less expensive than you might expect. Consult with a facial specialist and discuss your concerns. Good luck!
