As the years pass, our brows naturally droop, causing a tired, aged, or unpleasant appearance. If you’re considering rejuvenating your forehead and upper face, two excellent options are brow lift surgery and BOTOX®. But which one is right for you? Let’s break down the differences so you can make the right decision.
Dr. Jeffrey C. Dawes, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Calgary, Alberta, specializes in surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation for long-lasting, natural-looking results. With rigorous training and a commitment to patient care, Dr. Dawes helps individuals achieve a refreshed appearance through brow lift surgery or non-invasive options like BOTOX.
What Is a Brow Lift?
A brow lift surgery lifts the eyebrows and smooths forehead wrinkles by tightening the underlying tissues. It provides long-lasting results and is ideal for those experiencing significant sagging, deep forehead creases, or hooded eyelids.
Here are different types of brow lifts:
- Traditional (coronal) brow lift – Involves an incision across the scalp for a comprehensive lift.
- Endoscopic brow lift – A minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a tiny camera.
- Temporal brow lift – Focuses on lifting the outer portion of the brows for a subtle enhancement.
What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a non-surgical injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for forehead lines and frown wrinkles. It’s best for those with mild to moderate signs of aging who want a quick and effective solution without downtime.
Benefits of BOTOX:
- Fast treatment (15–30 minutes)
- No surgery or recovery time
- Results last three to four months
- Can prevent wrinkles from deepening over time
Which Option Is Right for You?
The best choice depends on your goals:
- BOTOX is a great option if you have mild wrinkles or want a temporary solution.
- A brow lift may be the better long-term solution if you have severe brow sagging or deep wrinkles.
- Some patients opt for both treatments, using BOTOX to enhance or prolong their brow lift results.
