Botox Brow Lift: How to Customize Treatment According To Your Eye Shape
A savvy make-up artist knows that there is no cookie-cutting when it comes to make-up application, especially around the eyes. Sub-optimal eye-makeup can make hooded eyes look more hooded.
In the same way, too much Botox to certain muscles can make hooded eyes look more hooded and feel heavier. This is why I don’t cookie cut anyone’s Botox treatments. Everyone has a different eye shape and brow position and that’s why your treatment should be personalized to you.
Eye Shape
Eye Shapes
Here are the different types of eye shapes:
Round
Almond
Downturned
Monolid
Hooded
Upper eyelid crease visibility
The appearance and beauty of our eyes has a lot to do with how much of the upper eyelid crease is visible.
Eye shapes with a defined upper eyelid crease can appear larger and more “doe-eyed” looking. If too much upper eyelid definition is seen it can make the eyes appear surprised looking.
Eye shapes with a less visible upper eyelid crease can appear to look smaller and more tired appearing.
Brow Position
Brow Position
Brow position also plays a big role in the appearance of our eyes.
In this picture, the celebrities on the left have a lower brow position than the celebrities on the right.
The higher your brow position, the larger and more open your eyes may appear.
The lower your brow position, the smaller and less open your eyes may appear.
Customizing your Treatment with Botox (Dysport, Xeomin)
If you have a monolid or hooded eye shape, your eyes may appear smaller because the upper eyelid crease is either less visible or not visible at all. Therefore, you may want to get Botox to have a more “open-eyed” look.
This can be accomplished by treating the muscles that are responsible for lowering our eyebrows (the glabella area) because when our brows lower it makes our eyes appear more hooded.
Botox for Hooded Eyes
This picture shows a patient frowning before & after Botox treatment to her glabella.
The glabella area lies right above our eyebrows. The muscles within this area (brow depressors) are responsible for us lowering our brows. If we relax or paralyze this muscle with Botox, it prevents us from being able to lower our brows as much.

Keep in mind, if someone has a lot of hooding or fat around their upper eyelids, surgery would be needed and Botox may not make a difference.
If you have very round eyes with a high brow position your eyes may appear very open. Therefore, you may want to get Botox to have a more “relaxed” look. This can be accomplished by treating the muscles that are responsible for raising your eyebrows (the frontalis or forehead muscle) because when our brows are raised it makes our eyes appear more open and surprised.
