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, James M. Ridgway, M.D., FACS
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.
Botox can slightly lift the lateral brow, but skin tightening like Ultherapy may be needed to lift the middle brow. I recommend a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.
Each person has unique needs with respect to eyebrow shape and balancing their musculature.The forehead muscles lift the eyes although many patients will point to their forehead when asking for "lifting botox". Treating this muscle can only lower the eyes and if heavy lids already exist it will be problematic.The lifting effect comes from maintaining forehead movement while stopping depressor muscle movement. Thus we achieve a lift. The depressor muscles of the frown and the eye are the most common ones injected but the forehead may need to be addressed to create symmetry. It is also important to note that the same "pattern" will change over time as one ages and as muscles get smaller and less active with treatments. Maintaining appointments with your doctor and working with him or her will help you to obtain your goals. We keep a detailed record of the pattern of injections and often each visit will vary slightly for that "perfect look".
