Hi - thank you for the question. Your right eyelid looks droopy in the photo & this cannot be fixed with Botox. I recommend&nbsp;evaluation by an Oculoplastic Surgeon to determine the cause of the droopy eyelid & offer treatment options.

Hi! Thank you for the question. Treatment depends on the cause of your eye bag. Also hard to evaluate without pre-chalazion photos.&nbsp;Your lower eyelid bag&nbsp;is either swelling or a fat pocket.&nbsp;Residual&nbsp;swelling one year after chalazion removal is rare. Swelling can be disguised by filler. A fat pocket can be removed surgically with a hidden incision on the inside of the eyelid. An in person consultation with give guide you to the best option.&nbsp;

A year ago I had chalazion surgery. Ever since that time I have had the giant eyebag under the right eye. Can I get rid of it?

Eye Bags Treatment

Hi - thank you for the question! Unfortunately ptosis cannot be corrected with wrinkle relaxers (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin)&nbsp;or filler. I cannot comment on your specific situation without a photo.
Subtle changes in brow position&nbsp;with wrinkle relaxers can improve the perceived appearance of lid symmetry. The more of your eyelid platform (place where you apply eyeshadow) is seen, the more “droopy” your eyelid appears. If you pull up on the eyebrow on the LESS droopy side & like this appearance, Botox may possibly&nbsp;help.
I recommend seeing your ptosis surgeon or someone very experienced with ptosis surgery.
Good luck from Boise, Idaho&nbsp;- Dr. Caroline Vargason @cveyeplastics

I got ptosis repair on one eye and it corrected it a lot but it’s not completely like my non-ptotic eye. The lid still covers just a tad bit more than the pupil. I really don’t want to get surgery again. Can Botox or filler help? Is it injected into the lid itself?

Can Botox or filler correct upper eyelid ptosis?

Thank you for the question. There are different forms of eyelid twitching. If your twitch is only one lid, then it is called myokymia & can be treated with Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. Since myokymia can be temporary, the injections are not often needed every 3-4 months, and in some cases repeat treatment is not necessary.
I recommend seeing someone experienced with evaluating & treating facial twitching or spasms &mdash;&nbsp;an Oculoplastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon.
Best wishes from Boise, Idaho. -Dr. Caroline Vargason

I have been to acupuncturists, eye doctor, chiro and have tried everything but the twitch hasn’t gone away. Eye doctor did many tests and my left eye is dry and so I’m taking fish oil. I also have the anti glare on my glasses which has helped. I’m taking magnesium supplements as well. I do not have any other neurological symptoms. Blood work was OK. Tried tonic water. My eye gets REALLY agitated with caffeine so I’ve eliminated that. It’s been really stressful. Should I try Botox on that eyelid?

I have had an eye twitch in my left eyelid for over 5 months. It happened right after a chiropractic adjustment.

Hi - thank you for your question. The shape of your eyebrows at the outer edges, towards your ears, gives you a sad eye appearance. I recommend Botox injections&nbsp;to lift the brows;&nbsp;the injections will need to be&nbsp;repeated about every 3 months.&nbsp;If&nbsp;you like this look & want a more permanent solution, a surgical brow lift can achieve the same look. An upper blepharoplasty will give you a larger space to apply eyeshadow but will not change the overall “sad” appearance you describe. I recommend a consultation with an Oculoplastic Surgeon in Chicago.
Good luck from Boise, Idaho,

I have "sad" eyes. What can I do to look more cheerful and not tired all the time? (Photo)

Hi - thanks for the question. Small amounts of filler to the tear troughs can make a big difference. I recommend starting with one syringe - you can always easily&nbsp;add more&nbsp;but can’t take away part of what’s added.
Regarding the sad appearance, it’s hard to assess from your photo.&nbsp;Droopy upper eyelids (ptosis) and down sloping outer brows can contribute to a sad&nbsp;appearance. Ptosis can be corrected surgically and botox/dysport can lift the outer brows. I recommend seeing an Oculoplastic&nbsp;surgeon if you feel the eyelids are droopy. 
Good luck from Boise, Idaho! -Dr. Vargason

I am a 26 year old female who's eyes are becoming more and more asymmetrical with age. I also have "sad" eyes and tear troughs. One side is more prominent than the other, it makes me seem as if I was alway tired wven with makeup on. Any advice? Filler? Botox eye lift? Thanks!

How many syringes of filler do I need for under eyes?

Hi - thanks for your question. I do&nbsp;not use wrinkle relaxers (Botox/Dysport) around the lips to create lip fullness. The proper choice&nbsp;of filler & proper placement can create adequate volume. In select&nbsp;cases of asymmetry or the lip “disappearing”&nbsp;when smiling, I do add a touch&nbsp;of muscle relaxing to the upper lip - this is&nbsp;definitely not routine. I recommend an in person&nbsp;consultation to determine the best treatment or your concerns. Good luck from Boise, Idaho!

I have quite full lips although from the front it doesn’t look like it. I’m 20 so I don’t want to do something as invasive as a lip lift since my nose to lip length is quite standard. Can Botox in the lip muscle cause a protruded effect and bring forth the fullness? I have a strained smile with reduced teeth visibility and a flat top lip, so I’m guessing the muscle is too strong? Could Botox help or would it lower the lip altogether causing no teeth visible when speaking or smiling?

Hi -&nbsp;thanks for your question. You’re correct, there’s a depression under each eye. The positioning of your eyeball, lower eyelid and cheek bones/tissue&nbsp;all contribute to this appearance. I’d recommend&nbsp;a consultation with someone who is experienced treating tear troughs. Based on your photo, filler may be a&nbsp;good treatment and lasts on average one year. If you like the look of the&nbsp;filler, fat transfer is a more permanent treatment to get the same look.
Good luck&nbsp;from Boise, Idaho!

Hi! I have had bags for as long as I can remember (I’m 19 FYI). I assumed it was a skin issue and I used retinol and makeup to try to cover them. While this fixed the discoloration, my bags seem to have a physical depression in my face and I don’t know how to naturally plump it. I would like a natural and more permanent solution to this issue, but I’m open to any professional suggestions :)

Dr. Vargason is probably one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. She’s articulate, caring, and detailed oriented. I can see better and I’m told by those who know me how my features are beautifully highlighted after Dr Vargason’s surgery. I highly recommended her care as your surgeon.

Best Doctor You Could Ask for

Dr. Vargason is the best.  Had eyelid reconstruction and she not only did an amazing job, she was always available for a phone call or returned my call immediately during the healing process.  If I ever need any other procedures, she will be the one I go to.

She not only did an amazing job, she was always available
