I am due to have repeat Ptosis surgery on my left eye as it didn't work the first time or was not lifted enough. I would like to have some Botox. Will the Botox affect the Ptosis surgery in anyway way or could the surgeon refuse to preform the surgery if I knows I've had Botox?

Answer: Best to wait on Botox Botox decreases muscular movement of the forehead. Often, when the lid or attachments to the lid are weak they require the forehead muscles to assist in lifting it. It would be best to wait on the Botox until the ptosis surgery and healing phase have been completed.

Answer: Ptosis & Botox Thank you for sharing your case and photos. Your surgeon should definitely be informed of your decision to do Botox. In most cases, I would recommend waiting until after your surgery to do Botox,especially because this is a revision. Good luck!
