My eyelids sags a little so I look a bit tired. It isn't drastic however I want to look more alive and awake. Can botox help me look more awake? And what is the cost for botox treatment in NYC?
Answer: Drooping eyelids? Botox treatment Well-placed Botox can lift the eyebrows. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps.

Answer: Can Botox Help with Drooping Eyelids? Short answer -- Botox is NOT likely to help with drooping eye-LIDs.A droopy eye-LID can have multiple causes. If the eye-LID droop is genetic or due to other neurological or mechanical causes, then you are best served by seeing a physician who treats eyelid droop (aka ptosis) regularly -- my recommendation would be to see an Oculoplastic Surgeon in that scenario. A droopy eye-BROW can be treated with a Brow lift -- this can be performed by a Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon. A droopy eye-BROW can also sometimes be improved with Botox injected into the outside part of the eye (the lateral aspect of the orbicularis oculi muscle) to generate a bit of a brow lift in that area -- this is obviously a short-term solution. Botox is less effective in treating a droopy eye-LID because the eye-BROW elevation from the Botox does not significantly improve they eye-LID droop...Be sure to seek the services of an experienced physician injector. I think the key with Botox lies in truly understanding the anatomy of the injected area, and more importantly the variability in the anatomy between patients -- for brows, the forehead, and anywhere else you plan on receiving a Botox injection. This includes having a firm understanding of the origin, insertion, and action of each muscle that will be injected, the thickness of each muscle targeted, and the patient variability therein. As an aesthetic-trained plastic surgeon, I am intrinsically biased since I operate in the area for browlifts and facelifts, and have a unique perspective to the muscle anatomy since I commonly dissect under the skin and see the actual muscles themselves. For me, this helps guide where to inject and where not to. However, with that said, I know many Dermatologists who know the anatomy well despite not operating in that area, and get great results.Good luck.Dr MarkarianGood luck.
