My eyes are very hooded. how effective is a botox brow lift (a.k.a. chemical browlift)?

Not the solution: If your upper eyelids are very hooded then Botox is not for you.The relaxation of the frontalis muscles on the forehead will cause more pressure on your already burdened upper lids. The situation could get worse. If they are that bad a surgical eyelid lift ( blepharoplasty) is better for you.

BOTOX can Lift: BOTOX placed at the crowsfeet and in the frown lines betwen the eyebrows can lift the eyebrows. The amount of lift will vary from person to person.

Not effective: A botox brow lift is used to target the lateral aspect of the brow. This will have minimal effect on excess hooding which could be a combination of excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) and a low brow. If this is the case, then frequently people compensate unknowingly by keeping the brow elevated. In this scenario a brow lift is needed initially plus or minus a blepharoplasty afterwards.
