Botox making your eyes look tired

If too much Botox was placed above your eyebrows, then the brows may droop and make your eyes look tired. In this case, your surgeon can inject Juvederm Ultra Plus XC under your eyebrow and it will help to slightly bring them back up into position. Good Luck.

Show the result to your injector and maybe he/she can modify the injections next time. The exact placement and the amount of injections can change the outcome.

Botox eyebrow lift

Botox injected into the inner corner of the eyebrow (glabella of the forehead) and the outer tail can relax the muscles that pull down the eyebrow so that the forehead muscles can now act in an unopposed fashion and help lift the eyebrow. If some of the Botox is injected too close to the middle of the eyebrow and close to the level of the eyebrow (lower forehead) then the middle eyebrow can be lowered and with that a small crease of skin can temporarily form. This will go away in a few... more

Botox and brows

Over treatment with Botox can cause the eyebrows to descend. Unfortunately you will have to wait about 3-4 months for it to wear off.

This is the effect of too much BOTOX for the forehead.

The frontalis muscle of the forehead makes the forehead lines but it also functions to elevate the eyebrows. Putting too much BOTOX in the central forehead weakens this muscle and this causes the eyebrows to fall. As a result the skin below the eyebrows hangs on the eyelids. This effect will last as long as the BOTOX treatment. In the future, I suggest you find a physician who can treat you without creating brow ptosis. You might look into my microdroplet BOTOX... more

Botox and eyelid drooping

It's hard to know exactly what is going on from your description...a photograph would be helpful. That being said, what probably happened was the botox has relaxed your forehead muscles (frontalis) enough to cause your brows to drop. This will exacerbate (or cause) the droopiness of the lids that you are describing. The good news is that this problem will certainly get better in 4 months or so as the botox wears off, so you don't really have to do anything. ... more

Botox and Blepharoplasty

Hello, thanks for your question! I think it is possible that botox has softened and relaxed your eyebrows and eyebrow position. This may be causing the appearance of excess skin. This can be addressed by changing the botox pattern or considering blepharoplasty. Have a board-certified plastic surgeon take a look during an examination. More information at jeffscottmd.com.

Botox and brows

It is not clear from your question just exactly where you had the Botox injected. So, I will give some general information. The most common site for Botox injection is between the brows to soften vertical frown lines. This site of injection can also result in elevation of the inner or medial part of the eyebrow. Another common injection site is the forehead to soften horizontal forehead lines. The muscle that is injected is the frontalis, which is responsible... more
