The eyebrows and eyelids appear to show drooping. If you elevate the brow, you are simply raising the skin over the bone, and often removing wrinkles, but skeletonizing the patient. It may indeed make one's face look smoother, but it may look a little too surgical, and certainly not more youthful and attractive as is possible by correcting the real problem of volume deficit.

When injected in appropriate amounts, it causes paralysis of the muscles for 4 to 6 months.
