Botox Brow Lift in Myeongdong, Seoul

Relaxing the small muscle that pulls the tail of the brow down lets the forehead lift it slightly. The change is subtle, about a millimetre or two, but it opens the eye area naturally.

Quick answer

A Botox brow lift relaxes the brow-depressing muscles, mainly the outer orbicularis oculi under the tail of the brow, so the forehead muscle can lift it slightly. Expect a subtle lift of about 1–2 mm and a more open-looking eye. Treatment takes about 10 minutes, results show in 1–2 weeks and usually last 3–4 months.

What is a Botox brow lift?

Brow position is a tug of war. The frontalis lifts the brows, while the frown muscles and the outer eye muscle pull them down. Small doses in the downward pullers shift the balance so the tail of the brow sits a little higher.

Who is it for?

  • A slightly low or flat brow tail that makes the eyes look tired.
  • People wanting a subtle, non-surgical lift before an event.
  • Heavy lids from excess skin need lifting devices such as Ultherapy or Thermage Eye, or a surgical opinion.

How Obliv plans a Botox brow lift

Your doctor measures brow height at rest on both sides and checks for asymmetry, then places small doses under the tail of the brow and, where needed, in the frown muscles. The forehead is treated lightly or not at all, because it does the lifting.

Typical dose Often 2–5 units per side under the brow tail, plus frown muscles if needed
Technique Superficial points just below the lateral brow
Pairs well with Frown line Botox, Thermage Eye

Results and recovery

No downtime. The lift appears over one to two weeks and is reviewed at two weeks to balance both sides.

Risks and side effects

  • Uneven lift between sides, adjustable at review.
  • An over-arched brow if the forehead pulls too strongly.
  • Small bruises.

Aftercare

  • Stay upright for 4 hours and do not rub the area.
  • Avoid saunas and hard exercise on the day.

Frequently asked questions

How much lift does a Botox brow lift give?

Usually a subtle 1–2 mm at the tail of the brow. It opens the eye area but is not a substitute for surgery.

How long does it last?

About 3–4 months.

Can it fix hooded eyelids?

Only slightly. Hooding from excess skin needs lifting devices or a surgical opinion.
