Hello, all. Please tell me your thoughts about using Botox (conservatively) in the pretarsal area to open the eyes by way of lifting the upper eyelid. I do not have any congenital deformity or injury, per se, but I am a 45yo female who wants to avoid a surgical brow lift for now and yet look more awake/alive. I realize this is different from the traditional Botox "eyebrow" lift and that the two techniques can perhaps be used in tandem. Thank you.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chemical Brow Lift for Eyelid Rejuvenation -- add Ultherapy, Thread Lifting, RF Skin Tightening, Laser Treatments As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox is relatively ineffective for this. If you have upper eyelid ptosis that is noticeable, you likely need surgery to correct it. Botox is ineffective for correcting ptosis. There is no substitute for a detailed, in person assessment.
