Botox to Relieve Eyebrow Heaviness After Double Eyelid Surgery - Good Idea?
Hi everyone. I am planning with a surgeon to use Botox to raise my medial eyebrow as they feel heavy after Double eyelid surgery (w/ ptosis repair). The eyebrows dropped a bit after surgery but enough for me to feel some slightly uncomfortable heaviness on my eyelid. That is what is causing an apperance of excess upper eyelid skin over my eyelids. Will a lot of botox need to be used, and I'm only 19, so excess upper eyelid skin is not a problem, right? Any alternatives? (besides revision)?

Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) following double eyelid surgery
I don't believe the Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) will ease the sensation of heavy eyelids after double eyelid surgery and could in fact make it worse.

Botox after eyelid surgery
if you just had your eyelid surgery, you may wish to wait a while more before the Botox because there may be swelling that makes the eyelids heavy. If your surgeon does do the Botox, they will probably give you a conservative number of units as more can be added later if needed. It is difficult to judge how many units you would need without examining you in person.

Carefully placed Botox may raise your eyebrows.
I read your concern, and I think you may benefit from a Botox treatment. Frankly, I'm not sure why your brows are lower after your blepharoplasty and ptosis surgery. The effect of Botox will last for 4 months, so you may need to continue with these treatments to maintain a desired result. You may want to get another opinion from an oculoplastic surgeon.
I hope this is helpful for you.
All the best from NJ.

Botox to Relieve Eyebrow Heaviness After Double Eyelid Surgery
Very interesting question but over the internet without any posted photos impossible to give an accurate treatment plan or advise. seek 3 in person opinions. My gues is give it a try because Botox lasts only a few months.

Botox for droopy lids/brows
Hooding upper eyelid skin is unusual but not impossible in a young patient. Blepharoplasty is even more rare. I would not hazard even a guess about Botox for you without getting to the bottom of exactly what was done, when, why, etc.
So discuss it with you doctor. If you lack confidence in him, get an eyelid specialist.

Botox to Lift the Brows
Botox is a great treatment to help modify the shape and height of the brow. However, without examining you or seeing pictures, it is hard to give specific advice. If you are seeing a board certified surgeon who has experience in Botox that you are likely in good hands.

Brows and surgery
Hard to say without examining you. Commonly brows drop a little after surgery on the upper lids. Boitox may help.

A second opinion for the doctor in training
Brows can fall after eyelid surgery. Generally it is important to balance the initial surgery to set the eyelids to balance the anticipated position of the eyebrow after double fold surgery. The question is recognizing that brow descent occurs to some degree with every double fold surgery, why is it that your brow descent was so excessive that other interventions are now needed. You may need revisional surgery. I recommend that you consider getting a few...
