Eyelid droop and botox
You need to be examined in order to answer your question. Upper vs. lower eyelid droop makes a big difference. If the upper eyelids droop, then sometimes a lift can be obtained by injecting Botox in the glabella and outer eyebrows but if the lower lid droops, then Botox can only make this worse.

Downturned eyes!
One of my favorite procedures to do. if youre a good candidate for surgfery its best to have excess skin surgically excised. its a very simple procedure with satisfying results. u can always do Botox or Dysport for additional enhancement later. however, my procedure of choice after surgery is to do a CO2 fractional laser resurfacing which gives much better results
