Hello. I am unhappy with my uneven eyes, but not so unhappy enough for surgery just yet. Are there any non surgical treatments that can improve the look of my eyes? Botox maybe? I don't know if this also matters, but I am in the process of losing weight. I have already lost 50 lbs. I assume I won't lose weight in my eyes, but in pictures of myself before the weight gain, my eyes looked a little more "open", not so squished within my now chubby face. Thank you in advance for your time.
Answer: Non Surgical Eyelid Remedies Although blepharoplasty surgery is the only treatment that is long lasting there are a few things you can do that are of temporary help. Make sure you have an exam to make sure that you do not have weak eye muscles, ptosis, as your cause by an exam by a board certified specialist. Lower lids: Ceramide creams for the lower lids which in minutes as they dry the clear membrane tightens the lower lid skin minimizing bags and wrinkles. This lasts from 4-8 hrs and can be reapplied as needed. Radiofrequency, laser and peels tighten the skin with minimal downtime. Fillers for fat transfer #lipoinjection, to the lower lid to fill in the cheek-lid depression that casts shadows also helps many.For the upper lids, Botox in the crows feet area just below the brow will gently lift the lateral brow and lift a bit of the hooding on the side of your eye. This lasts about 3-4 months. Make sure you go to an expert injector associated with a Plastic Surgeon, Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, or Ophthalmologist skilled in injections.#NonSurgicalEyelidRemedies

Answer: Weight loss can definitely change facial fat
I would not be surprised that your weight gain made your face rounder and "more squishy". This can cause the regions around the eyelid to be more crowded.
However, the anatomy you present in your photo reveals an uneven brow and full eyelids. A browlift would be your best option, when you are ready for it. I can't see your hairline in the photo, so can't really give you an opinion on what technique to use, but a hairline browlift, in my opinion, gives you the best long term lift, with minimal change of forehead length [may actually improve it if you have a very high forehead]

Answer: Botox can be used to non-surgically reshape the eyebrows, creating symmetry without surgery Botox can be used to non-surgically reshape the eyebrows, creating symmetry without surgery. This is an advanced injection and should be performed by an experienced injector. I've found that this works incredibly well for certain patients but is less effective in others. It is worth a trial to see whether you like the effects. Certainly a browlift procedure will provide the improvement in symmetry that you're seeking when the time is right for you. Thank you for your question.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Answer: Surgery is the only solution for excess skin and fat of the upper eyelids.
The photography demonstrates excess fat and skin of the lids. Botox will not help. Upper eyelid surgery is very safe and gives predictably good results. In selected patients, it can be performed with a little IV sedation and local anesthesia.

Answer: Non Surgical Help for Heavy and Uneven Eyelids? (photo
Botox can be used to elevate the brows, although everybody's response is a little different. You certainly can try it and see how you respond and tweak it as needed. Botox lasts about 3-5 months so you will need repeat treatments.
