Botox Brow Lift can open up tired-looking eyes

Mark Berkowitz, MD answers: More Botox for sagging eyelids from prior treatment?

I had Botox done on my forehead, between my eyes, and on my crow's feet (side of eyes). I noticed that the injections for crows feet flattened the side of my eyes, pushing my eyelid skin to the center of my eyes, making them appear heavy with skin. I was thinking of getting more Botox to open my eyes back up. Any advice?

Not all injectors have the experience to create a brow lift using Botox. That said, not everyone can achieve a lift from Botox. There are muscles that surround the eyes that pull the brow down and their are muscles that lift the brow. The art is placing sufficient Botox into the muscles pulling the brow down that these muscles become relaxed so that the lifting muscles will raise the brow and lift the eyelids. If too much Botox is given in the muscles that lift the brow the pendulum swings the other way and the brow falls. Find an experienced cosmetic surgeon to perform this delicate balance. I have been performing Botox injections for over 15 years.
