Droopy Eyelids - Alternatives to Eyelift Surgery?

Hello,

Alternatives to surgical eyelid tucks include BOTOX, fillers and lasers. These modalities can help soften the wrinkles around the eyes, improve skin tone and lift the eyebrows.( and also the lids)
They can be quite effective in cases of early hooding and drooping as well as hollowing in the tear troughs. As with all minimally invasive treatments, these modalities have their limitations and a surgical eyelid tuck may be the best and most effective treatment in more severe cases of drooping and bags.

Warm regards,

If you have excessive upper or lower eyelid skin, or protrusion of the lower eyelid fat pads, surgery may be the best option. HOWEVER, there are many non-surgical eye rejuvenation options. 1. Botox. Placed in the right spots, botox can lift the eyebrows and upper eyelids. It can also smooth lines around and under the eyes. 2. Filler. Filler can be used under the eyes to rejuvenate. It can also be placed under the outer aspect of the eyebrow to give lift to the lid. 3. Laser resurfacing. The CO2 laser (Lumenis Total FX) works well to help lift and smooth eyelid skin. 4. Non-surgical lifting devices like Ultherapy can be used to lift the eyebrows and thus the lid. I recommend "multi-modality" treatment for eye rejuvenation. That involved a combination of options. For example, combining the use of surgical rejuvenation with CO2 laser resurfacing. Follow this regular botox treatments for improved longevity. 

To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a formal consultation with a facial sculpting expert.
