I am 47 and am getting a vertical wrinkle in my eyelids (from the brow area to lid). Is botox an appropriate corrective measure for this or is surgery required to correct?
Answer: Botox for Eyelids
Thank you for the question.
The area you described generally does not respond well to Botox injection. It may actually cause drooping of the eyebrows or eyelids.
Best wishes.

Answer: Botox is not for the upper eyelid eyebrow region
If your vertical crease is extending from the eyelash part of the eyelid, or slightly higher, upwards to the eyebrow, then you probably will not obtain benefit from Botox injections at the crow's feet (outer eyelid) and Botox can cause a significant drop of the upper eyelid if injected in the area of your vertical crease! This drop can last more than three months. See a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or oculoplastic surgeon for a consultation to determine what other treatments may help.

Answer: Total FX is a good option for eyelid laxity
The type of crease you describe is more likely due to a depletion of collagen and elastin rather than chronic muscle movements. Neither Botox nor surgery will build collagen, and the location of your crease is not suitable for filler, so I recommend fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing with Total FX.

Answer: Botox for Eyelid Wrinkles
As an Oculoplastic Surgeon I can tell you that I have safely injected Botox into the eyelids for years, however, it will not help the problem you describe. Botox can be injected into the eyelids for a medical condition known as Blepharospasm.
Vertical lines in the eyelids can be caused by a drooping brow , excess upper eyelid skin or poor elasticity of the eyelid skin. The treatment is different for each of these conditions so you are best advised to consult with an Oculoplastic Surgeon.

Answer: Can Botox be Used for Wrinkles on the Eyelids?
Hi Littleton. No, Botox cannot be used on the eyelid area and it's likely that if anyone tried the results would likely be very poor.
If the wrinkles is caused by a heavy brow, then you may want to ask about a Botox browlift. This may be able to help with the issue.
