&srotate=0)
If your upper eyelids seem heavier or droopy, you might have a common condition called hooded eyes. This can happen due to genetics or as a natural part of aging. Thankfully, there are effective treatments available. One popular option is BOTOX cosmetic injections, which can help lift the eyelids and reduce the appearance of hooded eyes. Dr. Michelle Eagan is proud to offer this nonsurgical treatment at New Orleans Plastic Surgery to help patients in New Orleans, LA achieve a refreshed, more youthful look. Read on to learn more about how BOTOX can help you regain a brighter, more open appearance.
What are hooded eyes?
Hooded eyes occur when the skin on the upper eyelid sags over the crease and sometimes touches the eyelashes. This can make your eyes look heavy or tired, even when you're well-rested. Some people are born with hooded eyes due to genetics, while others develop them as they age and the skin loses firmness. In more severe cases, hooded eyes can block part of your vision. Many people turn to treatments like wrinkle relaxers or surgery to lift the eyelids, giving their eyes a more youthful and awake appearance.
How do BOTOX cosmetic injections work for hooded eyes?
BOTOX cosmetic injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles around the eyes, which helps lift the skin and smooth out wrinkles. For hooded eyes, BOTOX is strategically injected to target the muscles that pull the eyelid down, allowing the brow to lift slightly and reducing the appearance of droopiness. This creates a more open and youthful look without the need for surgery. Some key benefits of this approach include:
- Quick treatment time, usually about 15 – 20 minutes
- Minimal discomfort and no downtime
- Natural-looking results that last 3 – 4 months
This quick and simple solution makes BOTOX a popular choice for individuals in New Orleans looking to enhance their appearance with minimal disruption to their daily lives.
What are the benefits of BOTOX for hooded eyes?
Using BOTOX for hooded eyes offers several benefits, including a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Patients often choose this treatment because it is nonsurgical and minimally invasive, with noticeable results. Here are the top benefits of BOTOX for hooded eyes:
- Lifts the brow area to open up the eyes
- Smoothes the skin around the eyes, reducing wrinkles and fine lines

Are wrinkle relaxers right for me?
Wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX cosmetic injections, are a popular way to enhance your appearance without surgery. These treatments can provide a refreshed, more youthful look by addressing specific facial concerns. You may be a good candidate for wrinkle relaxers if:
- You have mild to moderate wrinkles or hooded eyes
