Browplasty vs. Botox
Whether or not we are aware of the fact, a significant portion of our opinions about a person are shaped by his or her facial expressions and appearance. The way that the muscles move or the creases that form in the skin in certain gestures leads us to unwittingly draw many conclusions about someone’s motives, feelings, and even one’s character.
The opposite is true, as well, meaning that when you meet new people they are subconsciously scanning the details of your face for indicators about your personality. For example, forehead lines are often perceived as indicative of anger, disapproval, judgment, and other potentially negative reactions.
If you want to ensure that people have an opportunity to see the “real” you rather than the byproducts of aging and exposure, then you may wish to consider a facial procedure such as browplasty or Botox cosmetic injections.

A Consideration of Your Options
To help you begin to consider your options to address your sagging brow or deep wrinkles, here are some important pieces of information about browplasty and Botox cosmetic:
- Botox injections are noninvasive whereas browplasty is a surgical procedure.
- Browplasty is likely to be a permanent solution and Botox requires an ongoing course of injections.
- Botox may appear to be more affordable, but as prolonged treatments continue the cost evens out.
- Browplasty has the potential to resolve obscured vision, to lower the hairline, and to rejuvenate the upper eyelids.
- Botox effectively paralyzes the muscles at the site of injections and this can create unintended misreading of social cues.
The best way to identify the cosmetic option that is right for you is to meet in person with a skilled and experienced facial plastic surgeon.
