Hooding after Botox? Will wearing eyelid tape for a month or so cause increased laxity/hooding down the road?

Clare3343
Hello, I had Botox injected 3 weeks ago for brow lift. It was actually injected in upper frontalis, which I now realize is the reason my brows actually dropped, exacerbating what was a mild hooding issue. I have since had injections to glabella to balance the "pull," but hooding continues. I have taken to wearing eyelid tape to conceal the hooding. My question is- will wearing eyelid tape for a month or so cause increased laxity/hooding down the road? Thanks!
