Is it true that forehead Botox can make your eyes droop? The director answers directly

Hello.

This is Beauty's Doctor, Wi Youngjin.

When people say they want something to look natural and strong,

it is the same as saying they want it to be weak and strong.

There are many people who are curious about forehead Botox,

so I organized everything one by one myself.

"I heard it makes your eyes droop. Is that true?"

"Won't my facial expression become unnatural?"

"Can my eyebrow shape look strange?"

I get these questions very often. I'll answer them honestly one by one.

✅ 1. What effects can you expect from forehead Botox?

Forehead wrinkles are horizontal lines caused by

contraction of the frontalis muscle.

It is a muscle that starts in the upper forehead

and attaches around the brow bone.

Each time this muscle contracts,

the eyebrows are pulled up and horizontal wrinkles form on the forehead.

As this movement repeats,

the wrinkles gradually become deeper.

Forehead Botox slows this process down—

in other words, it helps prevent the wrinkles from becoming fixed and deep.

✅ 2. Is it true that after getting it, the eyes feel heavy or droop?

Yes, it is true.

The frontalis muscle

plays a role in lifting the eyebrows.

So for people who use the forehead muscles to open their eyes,

and for those with ptosis,

forehead Botox is not recommended.

These people often use their forehead muscles a lot,

so their forehead wrinkles are deeper,

and they often worry about them more.

On the other hand, people who can open their eyes well

tend to have relatively fewer forehead wrinkles.

If you have ever felt heaviness in your eyes before the procedure,

please make sure to tell us in advance.

We will adjust the dosage accordingly.

✅ 3. How is the dosage determined?

Botox dosage is expressed in units.

Men generally have more muscle mass than women,

so we usually use about 1.5 times the amount used for women.

However, if a man uses his forehead muscles to open his eyes,

the dosage should be reduced.

This is to prevent side effects such as eye drooping.

Understanding the size of the muscle and how it is used

and then designing the dosage accordingly

is the most important part of forehead Botox.

✅ 4. How much does it cost?

For domestic Hitox, the price is 29,000 KRW,

and for German-made Xeomin, it is 59,000 KRW.

Prices vary depending on the product,

so during consultation we will talk together

about which product is right for you.

✅ 5. Will my facial expression become unnatural after the procedure?

It is important to understand this part correctly.

A facial expression is the movement of the facial muscles.

The larger the movement, the more distinct and natural the expression is,

and the smaller the movement, the softer and less excessive it looks.

But if the movement drops below a certain level,

it creates unnaturalness because facial expressions disappear.

Many people say, "Please make it natural and strong,"

but that is actually the same as saying,

"Please make it weak and strong."

Naturalness and a strong effect

become inversely related from a certain point.

The most important point in forehead Botox is

to improve wrinkles while preserving facial expression as much as possible

and finding the right balance.

✅ 6. Are there any precautions after the procedure?

There are no special precautions.

However, there is one thing I do want to emphasize.

If you have ever felt heaviness in your eyes before the procedure,

please be sure to tell us in advance.

Just checking this one thing

allows us to proceed safely without side effects.

✅ 7. Can the eyebrow shape change after the procedure?

Yes, it can change.

The most common change is

the samurai eyebrow.

This is a shape where the outer part of the eyebrow appears to rise,

and it tends to happen when the outer forehead muscles are relatively strong.

This happens because the distribution and strength of the forehead muscles

vary from person to person.

Before the procedure, we first check how the forehead muscles move

and adjust the injection points to minimize this.

✅ 8. How are the injection points decided?

In general, injections are placed in 6 to 10 points.

If the muscle area is broad,

we may increase the number of points to 12 or more.

The important thing is to first identify the areas where the muscle moves the most.

By targeting those areas specifically,

we can more effectively prevent wrinkles from becoming deeper.

Since the distribution of the forehead muscles varies slightly from person to person,

rather than applying fixed points as they are,

we design a customized plan based on each person's muscle movement.

✅ 9. Is it okay for people with weak eye-opening strength or drooping eyelids to get it?

It is not recommended.

People with weak eye-opening strength

or already drooping eyelids

often rely on the forehead muscles

to help open their eyes.

In such cases, getting forehead Botox

can make the eyes feel heavier

or cause a side effect that makes them look droopier.

That is why it is important to tell us this first during consultation.

Forehead Botox is

not just a procedure that smooths wrinkles.

By understanding the movement of the forehead muscles

and designing the right dosage and injection points for each person,

we can achieve natural and safe results.

"Please make it natural" and "Please make it strong"

are goals that cannot be achieved together beyond a certain point.

Through 충분한 상담 before the procedure,

finding the appropriate balance for you together

is the beginning of forehead Botox.
