Can I achieve this brow shape with a brow lift or botox? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this, depending on your exact situation.

For less significant issues, there are nonsurgical treatments: To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if there is more substantial eyebrow drooping. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best,
Dr. Emer

We can achieve a brow lift by botox injections. It is the easiest and no-down time method. I highly recommend you to go for it first. If you are happy with the result, then that is it, the problem is solved. Sure there is one disadvantage, it is temporary and should be repeated every 4-6 months. If you are not satisfied with the result obtained by botox, you can then go for a surgical browlift procedure. It is done in an hospital under sedation or general anesthesia.

We have learned a lot in the thirty years that I have been injecting Botox for cosmetic reasons. Unlike in the past, when we primarily used Botox for treating the "eleven lines," "crow's feet," and forehead "worry lines," , today, experienced injectors routinely use Botox for eyebrow reshaping. Be certain to consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist or other core aesthetic physician with extensive Botox experience, since treating the objectives and the technique for treating male eyebrows is different from that for the female brow and inappropriate injection can result in unwanted feminizing of the male brow. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Botox can give a subtle brow lift while an endoscopic brow lift can provide a more dramatic lift. Consulting with a surgeon experienced in brow lifting techniques, especially the endoscopic brow lift, would be a great way to learn more about your options and determine which is right for you.
