Will Botox help a droopy eyelid? (Photo)

Thank you for your question.  Well placed Botox can slightly elevate the eyebrow, but it will not make a significant impact on the "droopy eyelid" itself.  Best to see a surgeon with experience in eyelid lifts to discuss long lasting options. 

You have brow ptosis or descend of the left eyebrow. This appears to be pushing your eyelid down. Expertly injected Botox or Dysport should create a nice eyebrow lift and improve your appearance and symmetry. Surgery is also another option. See an experienced injector or surgeon in your area. Warmest regards, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for sharing your question. When properly placed, Botox can create a subtle brow lift. Based on your photo, a small amount of Botox to your left side can help subtly lift the brow. While this will likely help, it may not be significant enough to completely even out your brows. You may also be a good candidate for NovaThreads, a non-surgical thread lift. This procedure involved inserting a thread beneath the skin in the desired location. Small barbs along the thread are used to subtly lift tissue. This procedure is most common for the lower face, but can be used to achieve a temporary brow lift. If you are interested in longer term treatment options, you may want to consider surgery. For more information about which treatment option is right for you, please schedule a consultation with a board-certified specialist.
