When Botox is administered for crow’s feet, what effect does it have on the upper eyelids?
Does it lift the upper eyelids and make the skin less saggy, or does it have the opposite effect and create baggier upper eyelids? How long do the effects of Botox around the eyes last?

Answer: Botox Effect on Eyelids When Injected Around the Crow's Feet Botox can be used to diminish crow's feet at the lateral canthus (corners of the eyes). Botox effect can take 3- 7 days to start working. It will work its best at 30 days and start to decrease from there. To get the most out of Botox you need to be consistent and user it every 3-4 months. When it is injected in the crow's feet area it can have the following affect on the upper eyelid: 1) no effect at all 2) an elevation of the brow which in turn decreases the amount of skin hanging on the upper eyelid and 3) if the botox is place to close to the upper eyelid (levator muscle) or in the forehead (frontalis muscle) it can cause the lid to droop.

Answer: Botox effects on upper lids Thank you for your question. Shaping the brows is one my favorite parts of using Botox. It requires a very detailed understanding of the underlying anatomy as well as assessing each individual while they are animating their brows. By carefully placing Botox in the muscles that depress the brow, you can cause the brow to rest and relax in a lifted position. There are limits to how much you can lift, and for some surgery is better option. Incorrect assessment or placement can also lead to the reverse effect, so overall technique is critical. You can also shape the brow different. For example, you can raise the tail of the brow vs creating a raised arched brow vs creating a raised horizontal brow. It depends on the individual's desired brow aesthetic goals. I would consider this a very advanced technique so I would query your injector on their experience in this area. In addition, the more lifting of the brows that you achieve with Botox, you will also find that it recruits some of the upper lid skin laxity. It is a mild effect, but often noticed when putting on make-up.

Answer: Eye Rejuvenation with Botox There is definitely an art and technique to using Botox or Dysport to the eye muscles to soften fine lines but also creating a more refreshed appearance by lifting the brow, which in turn, will have a subtle effect on the upper lid. Of course, in some situations, a patient may be a better candidate for surgical intervention with blepharoplasty if there is much extra skin or laxity. We encourage our patients to consider proper dosing of Botox around the sides of the eyes as well at key points to the lateral (outside edge) of the eyebrows to provide a sublte lift. By dosing the muscles responsible for frowining as well, we are able to achieve a nice, subtle lifting effect to the medial (inner) brows. We have captured this effect in the link below.

Answer: Botox can raise the eyebrows When Botox Cosmetic is injected for crow's feet, it can help raise the lateral brow, which stretches out the skin of the upper eyelid. You do not want the Botox injected into the eyelid itself, since this will lead to ptosis or drooping of the eyelid.

Answer: Botox on Crows Feet and Upper Eyelid Canada Great question. The art of injecting Botox in the Crow's Feet area is - placing the right amounts in the right places! The injector must understand the anatomy of the Obicularis muscle which surrounds the eye and when it contracts the eyelid skin bunches up. Botox relaxes this muscle which smoothes out the Crows Feet and if placed properly will allow the eyebrows to elevate slightly - tightening the upper eyelid skin. Of course, if you have a lot of loose skin, Botox is not a replacement a standard blepharoplasty. Now if the Botox is injected into the wrong muscles in the wrong amounts, then you can have drooping skin or eyelids. This is why it is so important to seek consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
