Achieve a more lifted and youthful appearance of the eyebrows for a naturally youthful and revitalized look.

At Lumier Medical in Torrance, my goal is always to enhance your natural features—not change who you are. A Botox brow lift is one of the most refined ways to open the eyes, elevate the brows, and create a rested, refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime. By precisely relaxing specific muscle groups, we can subtly lift the tail of the brow, smooth heaviness across the forehead, and restore a brighter, more awake look. Every treatment I perform is tailored to the unique structure of your face, ensuring balanced, natural-looking results that never appear frozen or overdone.

Whether you’re noticing early brow descent, eyelid heaviness, or simply want a more lifted, confident expression, this technique offers a beautiful, understated rejuvenation. At Lumier Medical, you’re treated by a physician who prioritizes safety, artistry, and outcomes that help you look and feel your very best.

How does the Botox brow lift work?

Botox relaxes muscles. In select patients, it may lift the eyebrows by relaxing the muscles that hold them down. Look at the colored arrows on the anatomy illustration. The red arrows and purple arrows show how the muscles pull. For the forehead, we have the red team (frontalis muscles). For areas surrounding the eyes, we have the purple team (orbicularis oculi muscles).

Even when you are relaxed, your facial muscles may be in a mild state of tension or contraction. We call this muscle tone. The red team and the purple team play a constant game of tug-of-war with your outer brows. If we weaken the purple team, by injecting Botox into the orbicularis oculi muscles where the purple arrows are, it would allow the red team to lift the eyebrows. This is what we call a “lateral brow lift.”

Many people assume that injecting Botox where the red arrows are would lift the brows. On the contrary, that would weaken the forehead muscles and possibly droop the brows if injected too low.

Can either my outer or inner eyebrows be lifted?

Yes, but this also depends on the your anatomy, muscle tone, and strength.

When it comes to a brow lift, Botox is commonly injected into the muscles that pull the eyebrows downward. By inhibiting the activity of these muscles, the brow is gently lifted, resulting in a more elevated and youthful appearance. In the photo, the lateral (outer) eyebrows were lifted.

If select frown muscles are treated with Botox, the medial (inner) eyebrows may be lifted.

This is a relatively simple and inexpensive procedure.

In both left (before Botox) and right photos (2 weeks later), the patient is in her relaxed state. Notice how her skin creases around the eye also improved.

BOTOX Brow Lift FAQ

No. If you have weak forehead muscles (frontalis muscles), results will be minimal to none.

No. This treatment is not to be confused with inner eyebrow ptosis (drooping) from Botox placed in less favorable areas above the eyebrows.

Typically, 4-8 units per side for an outer brow lift, and around 12 units per side for an inner brow lift.

If you’re considering a Botox brow lift, it’s important to choose a qualified, experienced provider who understands facial anatomy and natural balance. This treatment requires precise placement of Botox to subtly lift the brows while maintaining natural expression—so results depend heavily on the injector’s skill.

At Lumier Medical in Torrance, Dr. Michael Lum personally performs all Botox treatments, including Botox brow lifts, using a conservative, patient-first approach. By carefully relaxing specific muscles around the eyes and forehead, he’s able to create a more refreshed, lifted appearance without looking overdone. Many patients also combine a brow lift with treatments like Botox for forehead lines, crow’s feet, or a lip flip for full-face balance.

If you’re searching for where to get Botox for a brow lift near you, look for a physician-led practice that prioritizes natural results, personalized treatment plans, and a deep understanding of facial structure—this is what ensures both safety and the best aesthetic outcome.

It can, depending on where it is injected. If placed near the outer brow in an area where the muscle contracts and creases the skin, and if the forehead has decent muscle tone, then yes.

All “cosmetic” botulinum neurotoxins work similarly despite their subtle nuances.

Botox to lift the brow is precisely injected into the outer tail of the eyebrows and specific points of the forehead to relax downward-pulling muscles and create a subtle, natural lift.
