Deep set eyes and hoody lateral brow - what are my options? (photos)

Question

Hey, I’m 22 years old and have very deep-set hooded eyes due to (for what I think at least) hooding of my lateral brows and a heavy brow bone. What would you say are my options to make my eyes appear more open and not so tired, sad looking? I was thinking about trying a Botox brow lift, however I’m not sure if this will be enough. I know there are surgical options like temporal brow lift and I’ll look into them eventually but would just prefer to hear a professional opinion.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

I agree with Dr.  Morgan re the possibility of  upper eyelid drooping. See an ophthalmic plastic surgeon who can permanently correct this with surgery. I encourage you o try Botox injections to lift the lateral brows. This is a straightforward non-invasive procedure but must be repeated every 3-4 months. Permanent correction with a brow lift is another option.
