Non-Surgical Browliftin New York City​

A non surgical browlift involves using the neuromodulator Botox or Dysport to help raise the brow. As we age the muscles and soft tissue above and around our eyebrows stretch and weaken resulting in a lowering of the brow.

Our forehead, eyelids and and eyebrow are composed of two opposing muscles that pull in opposite directions. One set of muscles pull the brow down and the other muscles elevate the brow. As the brow descends it encroaches on the upper eyelid. As a compensation for a descending brow position we subconsciously contract our eyebrows and forehead muscles upward. This contraction may result in the formation of horizontal forehead lines and wrinkles.


A non surgical browlift focuses on weakening the brow muscles that pull the brow down but preserves the set of muscles that elevate the brow. Dr. Kopelman can counter the natural gravitational downward pull of the brow by injecting the forehead with Botox or Dysport. Both drugs are neuromodulators that work by temporarily paralyzing some of the vertical depressor muscles, called the corrugator and procerus muscles, that cause frown lines, are located between the eyebrows. Typically injections with Botox in the brow will last 3 to 4 months. Botox injections can raise the brow about two to three millimeters. Therefore, the ideal candidate for a non-surgical brow lift is a young patient who show early signs of a sagging of their eyebrows and encroachment of the brow tissue into their upper eyelids. Later as the brow droop (also called brow ptosis) becomes more severe then a surgical browlift maybe a better choice to permanently raise the forehead and brow back to their normal anatomic position.

A complication of a non-surgical browlift can arise if the patient is not injected in the correct locations. A “boomerang” or “Spock-like” brow that will result that will give the patient an unnatural angry appearance.
