Can Excess Skin Between Brows After Eyelid Surgery Be Resolved?

May 20, 2009
Asked By:Notperfect in Chicago, IL

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.
