Is it Possible to Raise Droopy Eyelid with Botox? (Photo)

The preseptal eyelid skin below the eyebrow and above the lower part of the upper eyelid is hanging down. The eyebrow descends with time and with it comes the upper eyelid that it supports.  The forehead muscle helps lift the eyebrow, and therefore, the eyelid. By relaxing the depressor muscles of the eyebrow, the forehead can help lift the eyebrow / eyelid complex better.  This is usually done by injecting the glabella with Botox, often with 3 or 5, and even up to 7 insertions sites, with 15 - 25 units or more being used by most doctors. The outer tail of the eyebrow corresponds to the depressor aspect of the periorbital muscle and can be treated with 2 to 3 units.

Ulthera is focused intense ultrasound energy that treats the forehead tissue and helps induce non-surgical forehead lift by tightening the connective tissue layer and producing more collagen, over six months after the procedure. Ultherapy can be repeated in six to twelve months for more of a boost, but unlike Botox is not intended to need continual treatments as the results of Ulthera can be long lasting.

Lastly, some eyebrows have become so saggy because there is a loss of the infrastructure.  By injecting filler into this layer below the eyebrow it can help support the upper eyelid.  I prefer Restylane rather than Juvederm in the eyelid area as there may be more swelling long term from fluid absorbtion with Juvederm.

 Both droopy eyelids and eyebrows can be raised with Botox to some degree, with raising a droopy eyelid being much more difficult and only described well one time in the literature.  Raising a droopy brow is much easier. 
To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these "core four" cosmetic specialties. Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery help to identify a highly trained surgeon.

Depending on
the positioning of the brow and excess skin, Botox can be used to make the area
appear more rejuvenated. Botox is used to relax
muscles and reduce creases and grooves on the skin. Botox is commonly used for
eyebrows by injecting the muscles that pull the medial ends of the brows down.
This will cause the depressor muscles to lift upwards. Learn more about how
Botox can treat drooping in the eye area below. Read more about Botox brow
lifts below.

Thank you for the pictures.First off, the good news is that this is NOT likely to be permanent and should improve.It appears that you have a drooping eye-BROW that has caused skin gathering over your left upper eye-LID making the eyelid appear like it was drooping. The eyelid, itself, is not droopy however...  This droopy eye-BROW may be corrected with Botox...A drooping eye-BROW may happen in the following scenarios:(1) When the brow-elevating muscle in the forehead, the Frontalis, receives too high a dose of Botox.(2) The Botox is sub-optimally placed too low in the forehead -- it should typically be placed at least 1 cm above the Brow. (3) Over-injection of the glabella area (between the brows). (4) It may also happen if you have a low set eyebrow to begin with, in which case any Botox to the Frontalis increases the likelihood of a brow droop. As mentioned above, a droopy eye-BROW from Botox can sometimes be improved with MORE Botox -- this time, the Botox is typically injected into the outside (top of the crow's feet) part of the eye (aka the lateral aspect of the orbicularis oculi muscle) to generate a bit of a brow lift in that area -- by injecting more Botox and paralyzing the orbicularis muscle that normally acts to depress the brow in that area, you may get a slight compensatory brow lift...Please seek the services of an experienced physician injector. I think the key with Botox lies in truly understanding the anatomy of the injected area, and more importantly the variability in the anatomy between patients -- for brows, the forehead, and anywhere else you plan on receiving a Botox injection. This includes having a firm understanding of the origin, insertion, and action of each muscle that will be injected, the thickness of each muscle targeted, how deep beneath the skin the actual muscle resides, and the patient variability therein. As an aesthetic-trained plastic surgeon, I am intrinsically biased since I operate in the area for browlifts and facelifts, and have a unique perspective to the muscle anatomy since I commonly dissect under the skin, see the actual muscles themselves, and learn "first-hand" the incredible variability between patients -- live, "on the OR table" -- as opposed to via lectures or a cadaver dissection. For me, this helps guide where to inject and where not to. However, with that said, I know many non-aesthetic trained plastic surgeons and other physicians who know the anatomy well despite not operating in that area, and get good results.Good luck.Dr Markarian

It is difficult to tell by the angle of your photo, but it appears as though your brow is the culprit.  It is possible to elevate the brow with the use of neuromodulators such as Botox, and I published a paper approximately 10 years ago which showed just that.  Although results vary among individual patients, by injecting the muscles that depress the brow, such as the orbicularis oculi and the glabellar muscles, up to 5 millimeters of elevation can be achieved.
