I am a 43 y/o F and have chronic migraine. I started getting migraine botox a year ago, which has been very effective, but now my eyebrows always look droopy. (Not 100% sure if it's from aging or the botox, but it def started when I first got the botox.) Would a brow lift be suitable to deal with this? I'm tired of looking angry all the time. I cannot stop getting the botox as I have migraines 20+ days out of the month without it.
Answer: Botox for chronic migraine has made my eyebrows droop badly. Would a brow lift be suitable in this situation? Yes, a brow lift could be a suitable solution for your situation. Botox for chronic migraines is often injected in areas like the forehead and glabella (between the eyebrows), which can unintentionally weaken the frontalis muscle responsible for lifting the eyebrows, leading to a droopy or heavy brow appearance.

Answer: Brow drop from Botox Thank you for sharing your experience. You might benefit from having your doctor inject the Botox higher in the forehead or injecting the orbicularis muscles to counteract the weakening of the muscles above the eyebrows. See an oculofacial surgeon for evaluation.

Answer: I can't for sure answer you correctly unless I see you but I have some idea. I believe you are getting injection in your forehead without getting any injection in your glabella. When we inject the elevator of the forehead without injecting the depressor of the forehead, we cause serious eyebrow ptosis. Many neurologist who do injections for migraine, are not cosmetically savie. I hope that clarify your issue. Ask them to inject the glabellar area as well next time you get injected and decrease the frontalis muscle injection to as minimal as possible.
