Can Botox be used to lift inner eyebrow?

Thank you for your question. Yes, Botox can be used to lift the inner eyebrow. In fact lifting and shaping the eyebrow is often the primary effect that we are trying to achieve with Botox. Injecting the brow depressor muscles at the  glabella lift the inner 2/3rds of the brow and soften the frown lines. Asymmetries in brow shape and position are common. They may be improved or corrected with Botox injections but this can be tricky. Sometimes improvement in asymmetries at rest result in asymmetries with animation or movements of the face. Be sure to find a qualified and experienced injector with proper board certification and you should be pleased with your results. Good luck. Dr. Polo 

Dear Luckeyladybug,

This is a really great and fun question.  Yes, the inner part of your left eyebrow can be brought higher with a small, well placed injection of Botox (or any neuromodulator of preference).  As mentioned by others, it is important to have your injections performed by a specialist who completely understands the facial anatomy.  I hope this helps you to find the best answer for you.



Be healthy and be well,

It is important to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon/derm who has in depth knowledge of facial anatomy.  Botox can be used to lift the inner brow, but yields a 2mm-3mm lift.
