Brow lift or muscle-relaxing injection?

An open, fresh look can change an astonishing amount. It makes the entire face appear more lively, friendly, and youthful. This is exactly what many patients wish for when they come to our practice: to look less tired, to appear less stern – and all without unnatural changes.

When a small lift achieves more than any injection

Not infrequently, the first question is:
“Is a muscle-relaxing injection enough, or do I need a brow lift?”

The answer is, as often, individual. It depends on what exactly bothers you, how much the brow has sagged, and what result you desire.

How muscle-relaxing injections work

A muscle-relaxing injection can gently lift the lateral eyebrows. This is achieved by relaxing certain muscles that normally pull the brow downward. The effect is subtle but effective:

  • the gaze appears more open
  • the forehead appears smoother
  • the facial expression becomes friendlier and more alert

The method is ideal if the skin elasticity is good and there is only a slight excess of skin. It is quick, precise, and requires no downtime – which is why it is often referred to as a gentle "mini-brow lift".

When a surgical brow lift is more appropriate

Sometimes a single injection is no longer sufficient.
Especially when:

  • the eyebrows have significantly drooped over the years
  • there is a visible excess of skin
  • a longer-lasting, more defined lift is desired

In such cases, a surgical brow lift may be the better solution. This procedure directly lifts the eyebrow, making the eye area appear clearer, fresher, and more alert – without altering the natural expression.

Combinations for natural results

In modern aesthetic medicine, it's not about "either-or". We often combine:

  • gentle injection treatments
  • minimally invasive methods like thread lifting
  • modern skin tightening techniques

The goal is always the same: a natural, harmonious result that preserves expression, movement, and personality.
