Altering brow contour with botulinum toxin.

Author: Chen AH, Frankel AS

Author affiliation: Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology, Medical College of Georgia, 1120 Fifteenth Street, Augusta, GA 30912-4060, USA.

Brow position is determined by a dynamic interaction between depressor and elevator muscles. Botulinum toxin may be used to temporarily alter this equilibrium to result in a change in brow position. Knowledge of the anatomy of the brow depressors and elevators allows selective treatment of these muscles to effect a change in contour to elevate or depress a specific part of the brow. Botulinum toxin browlifting may result in an aesthetically pleasing, modest brow elevation; however, individuals who have significant brow ptosis would be better treated surgically.
