Droopy eyelids can be lifted with Botox, Ultherapy, Pelleve and Thermage

In the photograph you are contracting your frown muscles. In doing so, you are bringing your inner eyebrows towards each other and lower. This pushes down on the upper eyelids. If the position of your eyebrows is about the same at rest, then possibly Botox injected into the glabella between the eyebrows and the outer corner of the eyebrows at the descending portion of the eyelid muscle (orbicularis oculi) can help relax the muscles which pull down on this area. This allows the lifting... more

Thermage is perfect for this.

If you have the time, I would recommend that you visit the site listed below. Also, please visit the Thermage website. Further questions that you have on the details of the procedure can be obtained by a Thermage expert, who is a board certified dermatologist working at AlphaDerm.com Thank you.

Ultherapy and NuFace Trinity for droppy eyelids

Surgery to remove the excess skin on your upper eyelids (blepharoplasty) is my first recommendation. It is a fairly simple surgery with minimal downtime and it will you give you a nice refreshing, younger look to your eyes. While my intial recommendation is surgery, I do want to respond to your request for non-surgical options. We have found two treatments to be beneficial for individuals just like you, who are not quite ready to... more

Upper eyelids

From the photo it seems that you might benefit from an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. This is an operation that can be done with local anesthesia in the office. Some skin and muscle are removed from the upper eyelid. I do not think you need a brow lift from I can see in the photo.

Consider Botox and Ultherapy for browlift

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty would be a fairly quick and effective procedure for improving the excess upper lid skin and create a more defined eyelid crease. However, you can achieve a nice nonsurgical brow lift with Botox and/or Ultherapy. Consult with an appropriate specialist who offers these procedures.

Botox for Brow lifting

Your main problem is droopy eyebrows, not eyelids. Botulinum toxin (Botox) injection can help elevate the brows and maybe useful for you. See an oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon.

Thermage for droopy eyelids

Surgery would definitely give you the best result but if you are not yet ready for surgery, you could consider Thermage for eyelids. It can cause some tightening and lifting of your eyelids and you would still be able to have surgery later when you are ready. Fractional CO2 resurfacing laser may tighten some skin, especially under your eyes, but you would need to protect your skin from the sun. You could consider both of these non-surgical treatments. more

Surgery for droopy eyelids

People who have permanent ptosis, where the eyelid hangs over or droops, need to have surgery. Ultimately, as we age, the muscles in this area weaken and can affect sight even. So if you are in your younger years, it'd be better to undergo surgery, as eventually you're going to need to do it anyway. Fillers, lasers, etc. aren't an option for this area, and surgery (which really is a rather simple procedure) is your best choice.

Droopy Eyelids, what can I do?

Unfortunately there are no quick fixes for this type of issue, Botox will only make it worse. Surgical excision is your best option, good luck.

Droopy Eyelid Options

Your best option for droopy upper eyelids is surgery. Lasers and Botox are not good options for this area.
