Hooded eyes, whether due to age, genetics, or a naturally lower brow, can create a tired or heavy-eyed appearance. If you’re wondering whether Botox can help, the answer is often yes, especially when expertly placed by a specialist like Dr. Flora Levin.
Botox works by relaxing targeted muscles, allowing the brow to lift slightly and the upper eyelid area to appear more open. At her Westport practice, Dr. Levin uses her unique training in oculofacial plastic surgery to precisely place injections that create a refreshed, natural result, without changing the essence of your expression.
However, not all hooding is created equal. Botox is most effective for mild to moderate cases caused by muscle movement or early signs of aging. For more significant skin drooping, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may be a better fit.
Is Botox Right for Your Hooded Eyes?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have mild eyelid hooding caused by a low or drooping brow
- Notice heaviness more when you're tired or frowning
- Want a non-surgical, quick treatment with minimal downtime
- Prefer a subtle, natural-looking eye lift without a permanent change
- Are not quite ready for eyelid surgery but want a refreshed look
The Importance of Choosing a Board-Certified Oculofacial Surgeon for Botox Around the Eyes
The area around your eyes is delicate, complex, and highly expressive, so precision matters. A board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon like Dr. Flora Levin has advanced training in both ophthalmology and facial plastic surgery, giving her a unique understanding of the intricate anatomy involved. This expertise allows her to safely and effectively administer Botox in a way that lifts hooded eyes without compromising your natural expressions or eye function. With Dr. Levin, you’re not just getting cosmetic treatment, you’re getting specialized care from a true eye expert.
