Low-Cost & Non-Invasive

Overview

What Is a Botox Brow Lift?

A Botox brow lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to address hooded eyes. It works by injecting Botox into the outer corner of the eye, which relaxes the muscles that pull the brow downward. The result is a subtle lift of the eyelid by a few millimeters, creating a more open and refreshed appearance.

Unlike plastic surgery, this approach requires no incisions, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime. It is widely considered a low-cost, non-invasive way to improve the appearance of hooded eyelids.

Before & After

Preparation & Aftercare

Preparations Before the Procedure

  • Consult a qualified cosmetic professional before scheduling
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements in the days prior
  • Inform your provider of any allergies or skin sensitivities
  • Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products
  • Discuss your goals and expected outcomes in advance

Activities to Avoid After Injections

  • Avoid rubbing or touching the treated area
  • Stay upright for several hours post-injection
  • Skip intense exercise and heat exposure initially
  • Avoid alcohol in the immediate post-treatment period
  • Do not apply pressure or massage around the injection site

How Long It Lasts

Duration of Effects

The effects of a Botox brow lift for hooded eyes are temporary. Results typically last for a limited period before the muscles gradually return to their previous state. The exact duration can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, the amount of Botox used, and the specific area treated. Repeat sessions are generally needed to maintain the lifted appearance over time.

Important Considerations

Potential Risks

Bruising & Swelling Mild bruising or swelling at the injection site is a common short-term reaction.
Asymmetry Uneven results between the two eyes can occur if the Botox spreads unevenly.
Drooping In some cases, Botox may migrate and cause temporary drooping of the eyelid or brow.
Headache Some individuals report mild headaches following the injection procedure.
Temporary Results Effects are not permanent; the treatment must be repeated to sustain the lift.
