Eyebrow lift and eyelid lift with Botox, Ultherapy and Restylane
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...

Non Surgical Brow Lift with Botox
Eyebrows and eyelids can be raised with Botox. It is referred to as NON SURGICAL BROW LIFT. It works quite well, but Botox only lasts around 3 months, so re-injections are necessary. The amount of Botox needed varies from person to person, men usually require more, and you may need "touch ups" after your first Botox injection, until you find the right combination that works for you. Good luck.

Botox can be used to help lift brows
Botox can be helpful in raising the brows but at some point botox alone may not be enough for a significant effect. We are now having excellent results using Ulthera along with botox for lifting the brows and forehead in the right candidates.

Using Botox to lift droopy eyelids and brows
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.

Miscommunication can be misleading.
I think there is some miscommunication here. The photo shows no droopy eyelid. Maybe you mean eyebrow droop? Even if that is what you meant to say it is difficult to evaluate that because of the angle the photo was taken. I measure one eye opening space distance and transfer that to the area above your eye lashes and your eye brow is above that distance which suggests no or not much eye brow droop either.

Botox Brow Lift
It is possible to achieve a brow lift using botox or dysport. The degree of correction varies on individual anatomy and what baseline looks like. To do a complete brow lift and treat the muscles that are responsible for pulling down the eyebrows and eyes we typically dose the glabella (11's), the lateral brow and the crow's feet (the orbicularis oculi muscle.) Another more cost effective option is to dose only the lateral brow and the glabella.

Eyelid drooping (ptosis) can also be caused by eyebrow ptosis
It would be more helpful to see a frontal (portrait) view, but from what I can see in your photo, it's the brow that is drooping, not the eyelid itself.
Brows can droop for a number of reasons, most commonly it's due to volume loss in bone and soft tissue supporting the brow. If that is the case, a dermal filler such as Restylane or Radiesse can be added on top of the bone above the eyebrow to give it more support and lift.
Brows can also be raised by injecting Botox...

Botox and droopy eyelids
Botox Cosmetic is commonly used to temporarily paralyze facial muscles to reduce wrinkling, especially in the brow, forehead and crow's feet areas. One potential complication of Botox injections is temporary sagging (ptosis) of the eyelid. Fortunately, this usually only lasts for a few weeks and can be improved with drops to partially elevate the eyelid. By weakening the muscles that depress the brow, it is possible to get some brow elevation but this tends to have little...

Raising Droopy Eyelid With Botox
Injecting a small amount of Botox in the brow depressor muscles will help raise your brow as long as you don't inject the muscles in your forehead that help elevate your brow at the same time. If your forehead muscles are completely paralyzed, you will not be able to raise your brow. I use anywhere from 1-3 units to do this. You can expect about a millimeter or 2 of lift. Although that sounds small, it makes a big difference in this area!

Lifting with Botox
Botulinum products (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) can be used to create a subtle brow lift and thus a subtle eyelid lift. Treating the muscles that pull downward on the brow will relax them and allow for a slight shift upward for some people. This affect is not consistent from one person to the next. It typically produces only a subtle lift but I have seen some people get significant lifts. One should be careful not to produce "joker" eyebrows doing this as it is...
