Most Effective Treatment Ultherapy or Surgery for Droopy Eyes?
I am a 57 year old male with droopy eye lids. I can provide a photo. He extent of the droop increases as the day goes on making me feel very tired. This has progressed over the last 5 or 10 years. After reading some previous posts I believe my brows have fallen below their optimum position and this may be a significant factor in my droop? Is Ultherapy effective for brow lift and is that what I should pursue or is sugary my best choice? I can supply a close up photo if that would help.

Fallen Eyebrows Often Respond Well To Volumizing Fillers
Fallen eyebrows, which result from the shrinkage and downward displacement of the remnants of the brow fat pads in both men and women, often respond nicely to the appropriate placement of injectable volumizing fillers, such as Juvederm UltraPlus XC.

Ultherapy can help lift the forehead and upper eyelids / eyebrows.
If you know you don't want any surgery, then the forehead and upper eyebrow / eyelid complex can be treated with ultherapy for tightening. Fillers, such as restylane can be injected in the upper eyelid areas to correct for lowering.

Ulthera or eyelid/brow surgery
It sounds like you need more of an elevationof the brow or eyelid surgery. Without an exam I really can not say, but Ulthera will not do the trick.

Ulthera is not powerful or precise enough to help you.
Ulthera will provide modest improvement in skin laxity but it will not replace a forehead lift or eyelid surgery. Ultimately there is no substitute for a personal consultation with an experienced surgeon who can personally assess you and then discuss the pros and cons of a variety of approaches.

Ulthera vs. surgery for the eyes
Hi Red Rock Hound,
Surgery. . .surgery, surgery. Ulthera is actually not a bad treatment. I performed about 55 of them in 2011 but for the brow heaviness or eyelid skin laxity it's just not that great. It's not bad for the neck and jawline as long as you understand it's not surgery. You would spend a bit more on surgery with a weeks worth for down time but be much happier. That is really just an opinion based on my experience. I...
