Hello! I'm 31. As you can see in the picture, my upper eyelids , especially the left one, are drooping. My doctor intends to try to correct that a bit by injecting botox at the ends of my eyebrows and into the lateral muscles going down to about the middle of the eye.

Will my mimics be bizarre again?
