Eyebrow lift at SONÜ

Botox eyebrow lift in Hale, Altrincham

A subtle lift to your brows to help your eyes look more open and awake.

Your brows may sit a little lower than they used to, leaving your eyes looking tired even when you have had a decent night's sleep. Perhaps the outer ends pull down when you smile, or you find yourself drawing in a little extra arch with your brow pencil.

A Botox eyebrow lift can gently raise the brows, helping your eyes look more open and awake. You might want a slight arch or a little lift at the outer ends. Dr Alex will assess your brow movement and talk through the shape you would like.

What you have noticed

Brows that look lower or feel heavier?

You may be after a little lift, a softer arch or eyes that look less tired.

The ends of your brows pull down

You notice the outer ends of your eyebrows dropping, particularly when you smile. You would like a little lift there, so your eyes look more open.

Your eyes look tired

Your brows feel heavier or sit lower than before, making the area above your eyes look hooded. You would like to look a little more awake.

You would like a little more arch

You like the lift you can suggest with a brow pencil and wonder whether treatment could give your own brows a slightly higher shape.

The result

Eyes that look more open and awake

The result can be a subtly higher brow or a little more arch, helping the eyes look less heavy.

A small lift at the outer brow can open up the eye area and soften the tired look that comes with brows sitting lower. If you usually draw your arch a little higher, you can show Dr Alex the shape you like - it helps him understand what you are hoping to see.

How much lift is possible depends on your brow movement and the skin above your eyes. Botox changes muscle pull; it does not remove loose eyelid skin. Dr Alex will explain how much of the heaviness comes from brow position and whether another treatment would help with the skin itself.

Is it right for you?

Are the brows low, the lids heavy, or both?

These can look alike in the mirror but need different treatment plans.

Brows that have started to sit lower
Treatment may help if downward muscle pull is lowering your brows and making your eyes look heavier.
A little lift or a different arch
You would like a subtle change in brow shape. Dr Alex will look at how your brows move and explain how close treatment could get to the shape you have in mind.
More substantial hooding
If excess upper-eyelid skin or marked brow descent is the main concern, a laser or surgical assessment may be more useful, depending on the cause.

Looking at the whole area

An eyebrow lift is different from treating a drooping eyelid

A low eyebrow, loose eyelid skin and a drooping eyelid margin are different findings. Dr Alex will assess which is present rather than assume that every heavy-looking eye needs a Botox brow lift.

How it works

Relaxing the pull that draws your brows down

Some muscles pull your brows down, while your forehead muscle helps lift them.

Botulinum toxin relaxes selected muscles that pull down around the brow. That gives the lifting action of the forehead muscle less resistance, allowing the brows to sit a little higher.

Dr Alex checks your forehead at the same time, especially if you also want forehead wrinkles treated. The aim is to get the smoothing you want while keeping the support your brows need.

Your appointment

Brows, forehead and eyelids assessed together

Bring photographs if they help explain the shape or change you have in mind.

Consultation

Discuss the lift you want

Dr Alex looks at your brow position and eyelid skin at rest, and asks what you notice when looking in the mirror or at photographs.
Movement assessment

See how the muscles work

You raise your eyebrows, frown and relax. He checks existing differences between the sides and whether your forehead is already working to hold the brows up.
Treatment

Target the relevant muscle pull

Small injections are placed according to the agreed plan. They can sting briefly, and small marks or bruising may follow.
Afterwards

Allow the brow position to settle

The effect develops over the following days. You receive aftercare instructions and guidance on assessing the result and reporting any unwanted change.

Why Dr Alex?

Your brow shape, your expression

Dr Alex teaches botulinum toxin treatments to doctors, dentists and nurses. He has also contributed clinical cases on treating eyelid droop to Aesthetics Journal.

He looks at your brows while you smile, frown and raise them, as well as when your face is relaxed. That helps him see why the outer ends dip or why you might be lifting your forehead to make your eyes feel more open.

You can show him the arch you like or point out where your brows feel heavy. He will explain what treatment can change, with the aim of giving you a lift that looks right on your face.

Safety

What side effects should you know about?

Dr Alex will explain possible effects on brow shape and eyelid movement at your consultation.

Possible side effects

Small marks, tenderness, bruising or headache can occur. The brows may become uneven or more arched than intended. Unwanted weakness can also make a brow or eyelid droop, and dry eyes or other changes around the eyes are possible.

These effects can take weeks or longer to settle as the toxin wears off. Contact SONÜ promptly if you develop a drooping eyelid, difficulty closing an eye, or any change in vision.

When to get urgent help

Sudden loss of vision or severe eye pain needs urgent medical assessment. Seek urgent help for difficulty swallowing or breathing, widespread weakness or signs of a severe allergic reaction.

When treatment may not be suitable

Botulinum toxin is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tell Dr Alex about eye conditions, previous eyelid or brow surgery, muscle or nerve disorders, previous toxin reactions and all medication you take. Active infection at the injection sites needs to settle first.

Your brow movement and eyelids are assessed before treatment is agreed.

Your questions

Questions about Botox eyebrow lifts

How much lift to expect, and how brow position differs from eyelid skin.

How much can Botox lift my eyebrows?
Expect a subtle lift rather than a dramatic change. Often it is the outer ends of the brows that can sit a little higher. How much arch or lift you can achieve depends on your starting shape and how the muscles move.
Will it help hooded eyes?
It can help if low-sitting brows are making your eyes look hooded or heavy. Raising them slightly can open up the eye area. Loose upper-eyelid skin needs its own assessment because Botox does not remove it.
Is it the same as a surgical brow lift?
No. Surgery can reposition tissues to achieve a more substantial and lasting change. A toxin brow lift is a temporary adjustment to muscle pull and cannot offer the same result.
Can I have my forehead wrinkles treated as well?
Sometimes, but the treatments need to be planned together. The forehead muscle raises the brows, so relaxing it without accounting for brow support could work against the lift you want.
Will I look surprised?
The aim is a small change that suits your face. An overly arched or uneven brow is a possible unwanted effect, so your starting shape and preferred result are discussed before treatment.
Can you make uneven eyebrows more level?
Treatment can sometimes improve an imbalance, depending on the cause. Most faces have some natural asymmetry, and Dr Alex will assess both sides at rest and in movement rather than promise identical brows.
Will it fix a drooping eyelid?
A drooping eyelid margin is different from a low eyebrow. It needs assessment of its cause and should not be assumed to improve with a Botox eyebrow lift.
When will I see the result?
Results develop over the days after treatment, with the full effect usually visible at around two weeks. Follow your aftercare advice about review, and contact SONÜ if you have concerns.
How long does the lift last?
Around 3-4 months on average. Movement gradually returns as the effect wears off, and you can discuss further treatment if you would like to maintain the result.
Is there downtime?
Most people return to their usual day. Small injection marks or bruising may be visible, so allow for that when planning around an event and follow the aftercare instructions provided.
