Signs That You’re a Better Candidate for a Brow Lift Than Botox

Smiling woman having a consultation with her plastic surgeon about if Botox or a Brow Lift is right for her Forehead lines, sagging brows, and heavy upper eyelids are common signs of aging that many people want to correct. While Botox can provide temporary improvement, it may not be enough for those with more advanced concerns. 

Dr. Andrew Turk is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Naples, Florida, with over 20 years of experience specializing in facial cosmetic procedures. He is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is an active member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. His extensive background in facial rejuvenation makes him a trusted resource for determining whether a brow lift is a better option than Botox.

When Botox Falls Short

Botox works well for treating expression-related wrinkles such as frown lines and crow’s feet by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. However, it does not correct sagging skin or restore the natural position of the brow. 

If your concerns involve drooping brows, heaviness above the eyes, or deep forehead lines that remain even when your face is relaxed, Botox may not be enough. In these cases, a brow lift can provide the structural correction needed for a more noticeable and lasting result.

Signs You May Be a Better Fit for a Brow Lift

While Botox is effective for mild to moderate concerns, some individuals exhibit features that suggest they would benefit more from a brow lift. These include:

  • A low or drooping brow that creates a tired, sad, or angry appearance
  • Deep horizontal forehead creases that remain even when the face is at rest
  • Excess skin or heaviness above the eyes, sometimes causing a hooded effect
  • Previous use of Botox with unsatisfactory or minimal improvement
  • Desire for more noticeable, longer-lasting facial rejuvenation

If you live in the Naples, FL area and notice these features when looking in the mirror, it may be time to explore a more permanent solution.

Advantages of Choosing a Brow Lift

For qualified candidates, a brow lift offers several benefits beyond cosmetic improvement. Patients often experience:

  • Restored brow position that opens up the eye area
  • A more refreshed and approachable expression
  • Reduced appearance of deep wrinkles and lines across the forehead

With careful planning by a board-certified plastic surgeon, a brow lift can enhance brow position and facial harmony in a way that looks natural, not overdone.
