Is Ulthera Useful for Droppy Eyelids?

Ultherapy is a great procedure but the patients must be picked carefully.  The brow can be elevated 2-6 mm in height.  It is not permanent  and the height will be unpredictable   This does not lift the eyelid and eyelid surgery may be the best long term answer 

Thank you for the detailed question and photos. Ulthera is a good option to lift the brows and achieve a more refreshed look; a good technician will be able to give good results without running the risk of asymmetry. That being said, the treatment does not replace a blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help to establish the best option for you.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Ulthera can be a great treatment for raising the eyebrows! You should consult with a physician to find the best treatment plan for you. You can customize the treatment. If you are concerned with too much of a result, you can start with a more subtle treatment, and then return in the future if you need more. Good Luck!

Yes, Ulthera can be a wonderful choice for those whose heavy lids do not require blepharoplasty. Ulthera can create a nonsurgical brow lift, which will open up the eyes to a degree.  Sometimes I combine it with a fully ablative erbium laser to upper eyelid skin to cause further skin contraction of the area and give a more comprehensive result. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out how Ulthera can help you.

Ultherapy is FDA approved for non-surgical lifting of the brow, and can be a great way to open up and brighten the eye area. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist for an in-person consultation to see if you are a good candidate for this procedure. Asymmetry should not be a concern if you have the procedure done by an expert.

Hi and thanks for your question.  I have seen some nice brow lifting and elevation of excess eyelid skin with Ultherapy.  The results are not as predictable as surgery, however.  I have not seen asymmetry with Ultherapy to the forehead, so I don't think that you need to worry about this.
