Will botox help lift my upper eyelids? (photo)

Thank you for your question. I use botox more as a tool to shape the brow. It is not unreasonable to try botox for your purposes but an upper blepharoplasty will be much more likely to deliver the changes you desire. RegardsDr Guy Watts

While you will be able to achieve some brow elevation with Botox, in your case you do have some excess skin and ptosis of your right upper eyelid, which probably will be fully addressed with Botox alone.  An upper blepharoplasty with some conservative removal of the excess skin may be necessary to satisfactorily address the "droopy" appearance of your upper eyelids.  

Botox can be used to lift both the eyelids and the eyebrows.  Your question specifically addresses the eyebrows.  When using Botox to lift the brows I frequently recommend Injecting all of the eyebrow depressors injected, not just the outside portion.I would recommend making sure your injector is highly experienced in using Botox to lift ther brows.

Hi, Botox tail ends of your eyebrows and into the upper portions of the muscles surrounding the outside edges of your eyes is the right way to get your eyebrows to lift, as your doctor suggested.  He / she should also put some in the root of your nose at the same time since there is a muscle there that pulls the forehead down   Another technique that can help is to also carefully put a little Botox in the central part of your forehead.  This will force your forehead to compensate by lifting from the sides which can lift the tails of your brows a little higher.

Thanks for your question and sharing your photosBotox is an unreliable solution to treat a droopy eyelid. However, it can balance the brow and make the droopy eyelid look better. I think, this is what your Doctor is planning on doing.All the best

Eyebrow lifts are commonly done with some carefully placed Botox injections.  In addition, this can be done with a short Ultherapy treatment.  The advantage is that it is longer lasting but but has a slower onset than Botox.  I will frequently do both so that you get some quick improvement with the Botox till the Ultherapy kicks in.  Finally, an eyebrow lift can be done surgically but your ptosis (drooping appears mild) and you could probably avoid any surgery for now and stick with a non-invasive procedure..

If properly injected below the eyebrow, you can get both a brow lift and it will correct the eyelid droop.The picture is not good as the lighting is poor so a better picture(s) would have been helpful.I recommend that you seek a plastic surgeon for upper blepharoplasty (you don't need much) as it seems a genetic problem, not necessarily age related ...ORUltherapy of the eyebrows which will give you a non surgical brow lift. This is a great method to accomplish what you want and is less expensive than repeat Botox injections. Read the Ultherapy book on the link below.We do offer this in our Santa Monica, California practice and in our NY offices.
