For many people, Botox® has become a go-to solution for softening forehead lines and lifting tired brows. But over time, some patients notice that their results seem less effective or fade more quickly than before. This doesn’t necessarily mean the product has stopped working; it may simply be that the skin and muscles have changed enough to require a more advanced approach.
When that happens, a brow lift can offer a natural, longer-lasting solution that rejuvenates the upper face in ways injectables alone can’t achieve.
Dr. Marc Mani, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon renowned worldwide for his artistry and innovation, is frequently named on “Top Plastic Surgeon” lists and has an outstanding reputation for his natural, elegant results.
Many patients who visit our office are starting to notice deeper lines and creases in the brow and forehead areas, despite regular Botox. That could be the point when it’s time to move from “tweakments” to a minimally invasive surgery like an endoscopic brow lift, one of Dr. Mani’s signature procedures.
Why Botox May Seem Less Effective Over Time
Botox works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles that cause expression lines. Over years of repeated treatments, however, several factors can reduce its perceived impact.
The underlying tissue may become looser, forehead muscles weaker, or the brows may naturally begin to descend due to gravity and aging. When this happens, Botox can no longer lift or smooth the area as dramatically because the skin itself—and not just the muscle—has changed.
How a Brow Lift Restores Youthful Contour
A surgical brow lift addresses the root cause of upper facial aging by repositioning the brow and tightening the underlying tissue. It elevates sagging skin, smooths forehead creases, and opens up the eye area for a refreshed, alert appearance.
Dr. Mani specializes in endoscopic brow lift techniques that use small, hidden incisions to achieve natural elevation with minimal recovery time. These advanced methods allow for subtle, refined results rather than an “overdone” look.
Dr. Mani performs procedures in his private, fully accredited (AAAASF) Surgery Center, where our patients receive truly personalized care.
Combining Botox and Surgical Rejuvenation
Many patients continue to use Botox after a brow lift, but usually in smaller doses. The surgery restores the structure, while Botox fine-tunes movement to preserve a smooth, youthful expression.
Together, these treatments can extend results for years, often reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
