Botox may have influenced or affected surgical result

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Can excess skin between brows after eyelid surgery be resolved?

I had upper and lower Eyelid surgery, Facelift and Botox on my forehead 3 weeks ago. I didn't want the Eyelid surgery but my doctor insisted. The eyelids are very droopy and there is a wide gap between my eyes, and sagging skin from the inner eye area and between my brows through upper bridge of my nose. I know I need to wait but what might my options be if this does not improve? I'm in my early 40's.

I would highly agree with my colleagues that you may benefit from a forehead lift but It would be wisest to wait for the Botox to wear off (3-5 months) prior to making any final decisions.

Stick with your surgeon and give it some time.
