Have you looked in the mirror recently and thought your brows seem lower than before or your forehead looks more lined? Maybe you feel like your face looks more tired than you are. If so, you have solutions: BOTOX® or a brow lift. While both options can refresh your look, they work in different ways, and knowing the difference can help you figure out which one is right for you.
At Envision Cosmetic Surgery, patients can choose between surgical solutions like a brow lift and non-surgical options like BOTOX, all tailored to individual needs and goals. Led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Benjamin Dunkley, our team delivers results that enhance your appearance and self-confidence, proudly serving Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas.
What Is BOTOX Best For?
BOTOX injections relax the forehead muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles that appear when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows. It smooths out fine lines and softens the appearance of the forehead and between the brows. Results appear within a few days and typically last three to four months.
Ideal For:
- Mild to moderate forehead lines or frown lines
- A subtle brow lift without surgery
- Individuals wanting minimal downtime
Considerations: BOTOX needs ongoing maintenance. It’s best for those looking for short-term improvements or who are not ready for surgery.
What Is a Brow Lift Best For?
A brow lift (forehead lift) is a surgery to reposition the brow line and smooth the forehead by removing skin and tightening underlying tissues. It delivers long-lasting, more dramatic results.
Ideal For:
- Moderate to severe brow drooping
- Deep forehead wrinkles and lines
- Long-term rejuvenation
Considerations: A brow lift involves some recovery time and is a more significant investment, but the results can last many years.
Refresh Your Look with a Brow Lift in Salt Lake City, UT
BOTOX may be the better choice if you want a quick, non-invasive fix with minimal downtime. It’s also a great way to “test drive” a brow lift effect. On the other hand, if you’re seeking a more permanent and noticeable change, especially if the brow has significantly descended, a surgical brow lift may be the best option.
Choosing between BOTOX and a brow lift depends on your aesthetic goals, the severity of your concerns, and your willingness to undergo surgery. Call us today at 801-268-2650 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dunkley, who can help determine which treatment is best for you.
