OnabotulinumtoxinA has been approved for multiple clinical and dermatological indications. The toxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum , is undoubtedly the most widely used cosmetic treatment for both the reduction and prophylaxis of wrinkles in the upper face and the reshaping of the eyebrows. However, the aesthetic outcomes obtained with respect to eyebrow position and shape are not always predictable and furthermore, untoward effects such as eyelid and brow ptosis are sometimes seen.
