In the recent years I have gotten a mild case of ptos on my right eye and I feel like my right eyebrow also is lower than my left one. I have heard that botox can lift the facial muscles and my question is therefore if botox might be able to reduce my ptos? Or is it going to make it worse?

Answer: Ptosis improvement with Botox? This is mainly a surgical fix. Botox can help lift the brow which can mildly lift the lid. This is a difficult surgical correction and needs an Oculoplastic Surgeon.

Answer: Botox for ptosis If you have drooping of your brow and eyelid you should be evaluated for underlying conditions. Remember that Botox only paralyzed muscles. It is highly unlikely but possible that your brow and/or eyelid ptosis are not true ptosis, but are rather caused by a spasm of the eyelid closing muscles. If this is the case, then Botox could be used to weaken the muscles in spasm to improve the pseudo-ptosis.
