Botox is injected into muscles that pull the eyebrows down, relaxing them and allowing the opposing muscles to lift the brows. This results in a subtle, natural elevation, reducing the heaviness of hooded eyelids.
The key danger zones of botox include the areas around the eyes and mouth, specifically involving the orbicularis oculi muscle, the facial artery, and the temporal artery. Think of these zones like a “no-go zone” on a map—trespassing can lead to hazardous results.
The Role of Botox in Smile Enhancement
By targeting the facial muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip, Botox reduces the elevation of the lip during smiling. This subtle yet significant change can drastically reduce the gummy appearance of a smile.
With this approach, the frontalis muscle will lift the eyebrows and prevent sagging eyelid. It raises the brow for a few millimeters (at least 4 mm to 6 mm) to open up the eyes. Typically, an oculoplastic surgeon may prescribe an average dose of 12 to 24 Botox units for treatment around and under the eyes.

With a botox brow lift your surgeon may inject Botox into the outside of the eyebrow, which lifts the brow and upper lid slightly, this can help alleviate the appearance of hooded eyes. A botox brow lift paralyzes the muscle that makes the eyebrow droop, but it leaves the muscle that raises the brow alone.
Eyelid droop often happens when the person giving the treatment doesn't have proper training and enough experience. They can inject Botox into the wrong area or use a dose that's too high, which leads to muscle weakness and droop. You could have trouble fully opening your eyes or vision problems.
When beginning to treat this area, women may be treated with between 25 and 50 units of Botox or 50-120 units of Dysport depending on their muscle mass. Men require more than this and may be treated with between 30 and 75 units of Botox or 60-180 units of Dysport.
