Can Botox help with hooded eyes by subtly raising the arch on your eyebrows?

Thank you for your question.  Yes, Botox can be used to correct some asymmetry and to give you a brow lift by "weakening" a depressor muscle to allow the "lifters" to work harder and create a lift.  If you have asymmetry, your plastic surgeon will likely recommend an asymmetrical treatment.Make sure you seek a plastic surgeon as injector as surgeons know best the facial anatomy and where and how the muscles work.Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, aesthetic plastic surgeon.

Hello! Yes, absolutely Botox can be used to subtly shape eyebrows and tweak asymmetry. It is NOT a brow lift but subtle shaping is a realistic expectation. Find an experienced provider for best results. Good luck!

You can improve the arch on your right eyebrow with a neuromodulator. such as Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport. This will indeed raise your eyelid skin slightly so that it doesn’t look so droopy. Reshaping the brows with neuromodulators is an advanced procedure that requires expertise, so please consult a board-certified dermatologist who can demonstrate good results on previous patients.

I recommend that you find a Microdroplet Lift® injector.  This is a specific cosmetic botulinum toxin method concentrates treatment along the eyebrow where the muscles that pull the eyebrows down live.  This allows the brows to go up in a very natural way.  The forehead lines are reduced or eliminated without the freeze-not your mother's Botox treatment.

Without photos and a bit more background information,  it is really difficult to comment in more than the most general of terms. Microdroplets of Botox placed at the tails of the eyebrows have been used for years to elevate the tails of the brows and enhance the female arch (the outer third) of the eyebrows, which ideally flare upward and outward in youth. (By contrast, male eyebrows are ideally more horizontal from side to side and may be inadvertently feminized by such an approach). I have been injecting Botox for aesthetic reasons since 1991, and it has been my experience that it is not particularly effective in cases of true or significant hooding of the eyelids. The use of volumizing fillers to the temple and brow may be helpful in such cases as a totally nonsurgical approach or The Ten Minute Eyelift as a minimally invasive method of addressing this kind of problem. You may learn more about these by searching the archives of RealSelf.com. You would be wise to seek consultation and treatment by a board certified aesthetic physician with experience and expertise in treating this problem. Make sure to ask to see his/her before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck. 

Yes, well-placed Botox and/or fillers may be used to improve your eyebrow arch. You'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.  Absolutely, Botox is an excellent option to help shape and subtly raise the arch of the eyebrow.  Botox is a purified protein, which works by relaxing the muscles after it is injected.  By targeting specific muscles of the face, the eyebrows can be relaxed and can achieve a subtle lift.  This also can help to improve asymmetry in the brows, as well.I would consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who has experience with injection of Botox.  Here you will have a full evaluation and discuss your goals for the injections.  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Dear TD1585Thank you for your question!  If done properly and YOU ARE A CANDIDATE, then botox may help with the eyebrows and eyelids.  It can be injected into the edge of the eyelid to help raise it as well.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Your physician can perk up that drooping right eye with a little Botox in the muscle that pulls your brow downward. Once the muscle relaxes, your eyebrow will lift higher — and take the excess eyelid skin with it. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to evaluate you to see if you are a candidate for a Botox eye lift.

Botox can lift the eyebrow (s) by reducing the muscle activity that is pulling them (it) down. This is a classical indication for botox and it should achieve good results.
