Hello and thank you for your question. Yes! Botox can soften your Procerus muscle which is causing you the issue. These are easily blocked with 20 units of Botox. I recommend you to schedule with a highly trained and experienced physician for a proper evaluation.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, 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. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a facial sculpting expert.

Dear laurenbiran,Thank you for your question. Before committing to a Botox treatment you need an evaluation by a qualified, experienced injector. This evaluation will help determine the cause of the bulge, which is likely due to the muscles in the area or volume loss. Depending on the cause, Botox may not be the ideal treatment for youy.Good luck,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Thanks for your question and spontaneous photo!  Likely if the bulge does not improve after complete paralysis of the brow muscles then it represents loss of tissue volume.  A filler will help on both side of the bulge to "hide" it and smooth out the brow area.  Please follow up with your injector for filler.  Best!

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  Ensuring complete paralysis of the muscles in the region is important to smooth the area and lead to atrophy of the muscle bulk, so that would be the first thing to ensure.  If little improvement is seen over a series of sessions, then consider fillers around the bulge to make it less apparent.
