Botox for "sleepy" eyes?

July 19, 2023
Asked By:suswang123 in New York, New York

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.
