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

May 20, 2020
Asked By:Zulu1 in Australind, AU

I read about a Doctor using Botox in one of the muscles of the eye to lift mild or micro ptosis: “In patients with mild or micro-ptosis, botulinum toxin application to the pre-tarsal orbicularis oculi muscle might be a suitable option for the management of small eyelid margin asymmetries” I’d like to know if this could be an option for me.
