Botox Brow Lift - Madison, WI
I turned 50 this year and have felt like my brows...
I turned 50 this year and have felt like my brows have really fallen which has made my upper eye lids sit very low, right on my eye lashes. This is true especially of my right brow and eye lid and I would draw the brow higher with pencil to make it look like it was at the same level as my left. I have thought about having an actual brow lift but I hate the thought of surgery so decided to try botox.
I went to a nurse (who works under a PS) who has been doing botox injections for 10 years. I was very worried about eye lid droop so made sure to ask her if she had ever had that happen to a patient and she said no and that you have to know where you're injecting or that can happen.
She was very conservative, only put in 20units, a little more on the right side. She said she didn't know how strong my muscles were and said we could review and add more at two weeks. I have been very pleased overall. Its subtle but I look more awake and my eyes look rounder.
At two weeks she put 2.5 units into one spot on that right eye brow to get it to lift a little more and I feel they are quite even now. As a first time botox user I felt some heaviness in my brows the first day and then again around 2 weeks for a day or two. I also got a weird twitch under my left brow for a couple days but it went away. She said sometimes with the first injections that will happen but probably not again. I am posting pictures. My husband can't really tell the difference much in the photos but he says in person there is quite a difference. I felt it took quite awhile to see results, maybe because of my age...
Just thought I should mention I have had Juvederm...

I'm glad to hear you are pleased with the results. I know the tightness you are talking about. I didn't really notice it until my first round of Botox wore off & the area felt more free. Then when I had my second round I felt the tightness again. I kind of like the way it feels though, which is weird, but ya know. ;)
Its good you did your research and found a good injector. It looks like that really paid off for you!
Since your filler has lasted so long I'm really curious to hear how long your Botox lasts!!
I've had juvederm done in my lips for lip lines and a little more fullness once a year for about the last 4 years. Now its been a year but I can definitely go another few months and she agreed as we can both still feel it there. Maybe its true then as you use it longer you produce more of your own collagen in those areas and the effect lasts longer. Would love to see it last 18 months! but this time I will at least make it until 16 months. I see a small lip line starting to show again but thats about it.
The little "1's" I had are totally gone now as...
Overall it hasn't been a huge difference but enough I would be happy if it would stay this way. The important thing also about having a little less injected (according to the nurse) is that you still have muscle control, there is no freezing. I can't really make the 1's anymore but I have total up down muscle control of my forehead and eyebrows.

It sounds like your injector gave you the ideal amount of treatment if it softened the lines but you still have the movement you would want. That is awesome to hear!
18 months for Juvederm would be AMAZING!! 16 months is still pretty dang good though. Honestly for me, I would be thrilled if mine lasted a year. I guess I will have to actually do it to find out though. ;)
Please keep us posted, as I mentioned before I'm really curious if your botox lasts a bit longer for you since your fillers seem to.
Good luck if you do it :)
I am far less leery of fillers then botox as they can be "undone" if needed.
You are absolutely right about the fact that fillers can be undone & Botox can't, yet I'm still freaked out by it for some odd reason. No problem getting Botox though - just one of those weird little things I guess! :)
I bet I'll try in within the next 6 months...getting up my nerves!
