How Young is TOO Young for a Botox Eyebrow Lift? (photo)

Your photo in repose shows a very refined, arched brow shape. I would not recommend a look as extreme as what you suggest with the second photo. Further, this would be challenging to achieve with Botox alone. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSWeber Facial Plastic Surgery

Thank you for your question. Patients are starting to use Botox at younger and younger ages. They can even start in their 20s and typically want to retain the smooth appearance of the forehead/frown region and their crows feet to prevent the lines from appearing in the future. The treatment lasts for several months but in some patients, they can last even 6 months.

Cosmetic Botox is appropriate for 18 years and older. If you're interested in the look on the right, it's probably attainable, but is an unnatural position for a brow.

The simulated result shown on the right is overly dramatic and not aesthetically advisable with Botox or with surgical procedures. Botox can be used in patients older than 18, but is much more commonly utilized in patients twice this age. The blessing and the downside of Botox is that it only lasts 3-4 months. Therefore if you desire such a result and don't like it, the effects aren't permanent. 

Botox is approved for patients 18 and older and can be used to lift the lateral brow in patients with a flat brow or lateral hooding.  The cost depends on the office but usually <$60 for just the lateral brow lift.  Your photo on the left has a natural lateral brow arch already.  It is difficult to see any lateral lid hooding.  Your desired look on the right is not achievable with Botox.  That amount of lift is not possible with Botox.  Even non-invasive technologies will not likely provide that amount of lift.
