Hi! My eye seems to be droopy. What procedure do I need to fix this?
Answer: Non-Surgical Chemical Brow Lift for Eyelid Rejuvenation -- add Ultherapy, Thread Lifting, RF Skin Tightening, Laser Treatments 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, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, 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. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Ptosis correction Thank you for your question. First, and evaluation to assess for the reason behind the droop must be performed to make sure there isn't an underlying medical reason for it. If not, then there are a few surgical approaches to tightening the upper eyelid to make it drop less. In many cases, this can be performed using an incision under the eyelid. I hope this is helpful, and all the best to you. -Dr. P

Answer: What kind of surgery is required for my droopy eye? Hello @Sammyb56 Asking for advice on plastic surgery can be tricky. If you want honest feedback, it's important to use pictures that accurately represent what you're looking for. Blurry or otherwise poor quality photos does not help much. That said, you could benefit with a brow pexy or Browlift form what I can see in the picture. The most appropriate course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons. This will allow you to get more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS
