Understanding heavy and hooded brows

As the brow descends with age, the upper eyelid can look heavy or hooded, making the eyes seem tired. Early heaviness can be lifted a little without surgery. It is a precise use of our anti-wrinkle injections in Southport.

What causes heavy brows

The position of the brow is a balance between muscles that lift it and those that pull it down. As we age, skin laxity and the downward-pulling muscles win, so the brow drops and the lid looks heavier. Genetics and natural brow shape play a part.

Who tends to notice it

It often appears from the forties onwards, earlier in some through genetics. People notice their eyes looking tired, eyeshadow disappearing under the hood, or the outer brow sitting lower than it used to.

Easing the muscles that pull the brow down with a prescription injectable lets it sit a little higher, opening the eye area.

What results are realistic

For early heaviness, a subtle lift of a couple of millimetres is realistic and can make the eyes look more open and rested. Significant hooding with a lot of loose skin needs a surgical option, and we will be honest if that would suit you better.
