I'm 35 years old and always had droopy eyes . Since my 30ths it is getting worst. Any treatments that will not require surgery ?
Answer: Minimally invasive eyelid/brow lift Botox can be used to relax the muscles that pull down the eyebrow, and this can give 1-2 millimeters of lift. The recommended amounts are 20 units between the eyebrows (called the glabella) and 24 units around the crow's feet every 3-4 months. This will also keep wrinkles at bay and could cost anywhere between $800 and $2500 a year depending on how much you need and how frequently you need it since everyone is different. Ultherapy is ultrasound based tissue tightening that can be performed to the forehead to lift the eyebrows. This makes the upper eyelids less heavy and droopy. Treatment takes about an hour and has no real down time other than mild swelling. Treatment is around the same price as yearly Botox (different offices price differently), and results could last up to a few years.Filler can be placed in the temples, forehead, or above the brows for a lifting effect in women for whom hollowing is part of the reason for drooping brows. Generally, filler will need to be done once or twice yearly, and costs vary from $600-$3000 depending on the type and amount used.Novo thread is a temporary thread lift that lasts about the same time period as filler. Absorbable threads are injected under the skin to secure tissues in a lifted position. The option(s) that are best for you depend on your anatomy, budget, and comfort level with the procedures above. I suggest you meet with one or more board certified plastic surgeons to explore your options.

Answer: Non surgical treatments for this include the Microdroplet Lift with botulinum toxin or fillers. Yes it is possible to get help without surgery for this issue. The key is finding a cosmetic surgeon who offers precisely this service. Do not go to someone who only wants to cut you and expect them to recommend a non-surgical option. They are going to try to convince you to have surgery.

Answer: Brow ptosis You have a lower lateral brow which makes the upper eyelid look heavy. Try some botox/dysport to elevate the brow laterally.

Answer: Botox Browlift Since most of your droopiness and hooding is from the lateral brow and not the eyelid, you can try a Botox or chemical browlift. By injecting the glabellar area (in between the eyes) and lateral crow's feet area/tail of the eyebrow, you are weakening the sets of muscles which normally pull down. When you weaken the muscles that normally pull down, the lateral brow will lift from the forehead.

Answer: Non Surgical Brow Lift Botox can often be used to raise the lateral brow, providing a nice, subtle lift. The procedure is very quick and results last about 3 months. Often, our patients will also use Ultherapy to lift the brow. Ulthera is a non-invasive procedure FDA cleared to lift the skin. The procedure can be performed on the forehead, above the brow, and provides a longer lasting lift. The results typically take about 6 months to appear but last two years. In a young, healthy patient, Ulthera is especially effective. I would consult with an experienced provider who can do an in-person evaluation and further discuss your concerns. You should certainly have several non-surgical options available to help meet your needs!
