I am 46 and received 30 units Botox last Wednesday on my forehead and between my eyes. I am happy with the lessening of wrinkles. However, my right eye is drooping. I went back and met with the doctor tonight. She told me to buy Naphcon drops and has scheduled me for Titan laser treatment on my eyelids tomorrow evening. Do you think this is a wise treatment choice?
Botox can occasionally cause the problem you have (drooping of the eyelid). It will resolve with time on its own and go back to its normal position. Titan is capable of tightening the skin on a long term basis; if this is successful, the lid will rise to its normal position quicker, but as the Botox wears off, it will take an even higher position. This could be acceptable to you, however, you would then have to balance the other eyelid with Titan again in 4 months.
Having said that, as a senior Titan instructor, I always recommend caution in and about the eyelids. On the forehead is OK. Titan is designed to create bulk heating in the dermis of the skin. Eyelid skin is much thinner and too much heat can lead to other problems.
If your physician is VERY experienced with Titan, this could be OK, but consider what I said in the first paragraph. This will all get better with time and NO TREATMENT other than the drops.
