Would Ultherapy work on my hooded eyes? (Photos)

Question

How do I fix my droopy eyelids? What is the 10 min eye lift (in medical terminology) called? Would Ultherapy work on my hooded eyes? Please, help! I need options I rather not do surgery or Botox.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelids, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a customized treatment plan and to discuss your concerns about Botox. Best, Dr. Emer.

Ultherapy would do nothing to your droopy eyelids but a little eyelid bleph under local would make a big improvement and is easy to undergo.

Paul Flashner, MD · Answer

This is a great question. In my professional opinion, an Ultherapy brow lift treatment will give you approximately a 2mm to 3mm lift which will help with droopy eyelids but will NOT fix droopy eyelids. Do know that the eye lift or blepharoplasty surgery for eye lids would be your best option. Good Luck!

Ultherapy® is great for lifting early neck/jawline/cheek and even eyebrow sagging. Please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.
