I have mild ptosis. Could Botox be used to fix it instead of surgery?

there is no ptosis that I see, but i do see eyelid skin laxity and maybe some brow descent. botox may cause the mid brow to come down more.  yo ucan get some lateral lifting of the brow but I suggest you just get eyelid surgery if you are truly concerned.  we do botox, threads, and fillers to this area to give lift and most patients are happy who do not want surgery. thermage of the lids and ultherapy around can also help. Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox can be used to give a conservative lift to the brows.  The result is a well rested appearance with the eye more open.  The treatment is done in the office with the final results seen after 2 weeks.  The product wears off gradually over 3 to 4 months.

I don't appreciate any ptosis on the photo you have provide although there is some eyelid skin laxity on the left side. A neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport could be used to raise the eyebrows (1-3 mm) and to give the eyes a more open appearance. A RF device like Sublative/Ematrix maybe helpful to tighten eyelid skin.

There is no ptosis in the photograph provided. If you want a lateral brow lift done with Botox, you may safely proceed to do that. Just make sure you go to an expert. Good luck from New York City plastic surgery

Hello and thanks for your question. From the photos I can't make out a ptosis however Botox can be used to lift if injected in the correct areas. If you are looking for a significant lift then I would recommend an energy based device such as radiofrequency to lift and tighten. We get great results using a combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound which can be tailored to suit. I would advise seeking a face to face consult. Best wishes
