Non Surgical Help for Heavy and Uneven Eyelids? (photo)
Hello. I am unhappy with my uneven eyes, but not so unhappy enough for surgery just yet. Are there any non surgical treatments that can improve the look of my eyes? Botox maybe? I don't know if this also matters, but I am in the process of losing weight. I have already lost 50 lbs. I assume I won't lose weight in my eyes, but in pictures of myself before the weight gain, my eyes looked a little more "open", not so squished within my now chubby face. Thank you in advance for your time.

Weight loss can definitely change facial fat
I would not be surprised that your weight gain made your face rounder and "more squishy". This can cause the regions around the eyelid to be more crowded.
However, the anatomy you present in your photo reveals an uneven brow and full eyelids. A browlift would be your best option, when you are ready for it. I can't see your hairline in the photo, so can't really give you an opinion on what technique to use, but a hairline browlift, in my opinion, gives you the best long...

Non Surgical Help for Heavy and Uneven Eyelids?
IMHO, your eyebrows are very low and unevenly so. Eyelid Surgery isn't the answer and in fact will result in the eyebrows being even lower in position. The surgical solutioon would be a Brow Lift of which the Coronal Brow Lift is the most reliable, IMO.
Until you're ready for that, you could try Botox or Dysport to slightly raise the eryebrows or topical skin tightening therapies like Ulthera. Just have realistic expectations and be sure the...

Heavy uneven eyelids
Thanks for sharing your picture. Your brows are crowding your upper lids. Although a neuromodulator (botox, dysport or xeomin) placed at the outer aspect of your eyes may result in some elevation of the lateral aspect of your brows, the difference will be slight at best. A lateral brow lift with an upper lid blepharoplasty would be your best option. Good luck!

Botox can be used to non-surgically reshape the eyebrows, creating symmetry without surgery
Botox can be used to non-surgically reshape the eyebrows, creating symmetry without surgery. This is an advanced injection and should be performed by an experienced injector. I've found that this works incredibly well for certain patients but is less effective in others. It is worth a trial to see whether you like the effects. Certainly a browlift procedure will provide the improvement in symmetry that you're seeking when the time is right for you.
Thank you for your question...

Botox can be used to elevate the brows, although everybody's response is a little different. You certainly can try it and see how you respond and tweak it as needed. Botox lasts about 3-5 months so you will need repeat treatments.

Nonsurgical upper eyelid improvement
There are not too many options of non-surgical treatment. Sometimes a little Botox under the lateral brow can help. Also even a filler can elevate the brow a bit.

Heavy eyelid corerection
Surgery is your only answer. Upper eyelid skin excision of excess skin will solve the problem. In the meanwhile you should consider Dr Kabaker's suggestion of the Asian systems. Also visit you local cosmetician. She may have some great ideas to make you happy with your eyes. My Best Dr Commons

Non surgical blepharoplasty.
Only surgery will give a significant result. There are prosthetic devices sold in Asian neighborhood beauty supply stores that give the appearance of higher lid creases when worn.
Eyelid surgery is usually quite easy for the patient. Assymetries that are present before surgery will persist to a certain extent afterwards. Brow surgery might also be considered.

Thanks for the posted photo. I agree with the previous expert posters, at least you need a minor surgery - upper lid blepharoplasty.

What can help heavy eyelids
Looking at your photos, it appears that you have both heavy, uneven eyebrows as well as excess skin/fat of your upper eyelids. By far surgery of the upper eyelids would be the easiest way to address your concerns. It is safe, fast and well tolerated. However, if you are not ready for surgery, there are some non-invasive techniques that can help lift your eyebrow (Appearance) and help your appearance.

What to do for heavy, uneven eyelids.
It appears you have both excess upper eyelid skin and fat, as well as some asymmetry to the height of your eyebrows. The lower right eyebrow is pushing the right upper eyelid skin down as well. Eyebrow asymmetry is normal and expected in most people. An upper eyelid blepharoplasty with measured fat excision could nicely improve the appearance of your eyelids. A small internal brow elevation on the right could also be considered, but isn't necessary. There are...

Surgery is the only solution for excess skin and fat of the upper eyelids.
The photography demonstrates excess fat and skin of the lids. Botox will not help. Upper eyelid surgery is very safe and gives predictably good results. In selected patients, it can be performed with a little IV sedation and local anesthesia.
