I had upper and lower Eyelid surgery, Facelift and Botox on my forehead 3 weeks ago. I didn't want the Eyelid surgery but my doctor insisted. The eyelids are very droopy and there is a wide gap between my eyes, and sagging skin from the inner eye area and between my brows through upper bridge of my nose. I know I need to wait but what might my options be if this does not improve? I'm in my early 40's.
Answer: Botox and eyelid or eyebrow surgery Botox injections may influence results in the immediate postoperative period after Blepharoplasty. It sounds as though a brow lift was indicated at the time of your eyelid surgery but this can only be determined after the influence of Botox has worn off and the postoperative swelling subsides from your blepharoplasty. I would recommend that you wait several months before initiating any therapy.

Answer: Botox may have influenced or affected surgical result I would highly agree with my colleagues that you may benefit from a forehead lift but It would be wisest to wait for the Botox to wear off (3-5 months) prior to making any final decisions.

Answer: Difficult problem to address If there is excess skin between the eyebrows this is a very difficult problem to address. A forehead lift can be performed usually only if there is preexisting low eyebrows. The thin skin closest to the nose on the eyelids is very difficult to remove without dragging the incision too close to the nose, which can create an obvious scar or webbing on the eyelid incision.
