Should I avoid temple fillers and Botox before having a consultation with an ocular plastic surgeon about upper blepharoplasty?

May 11, 2024
Asked By:Lois5

I'm a 62 year old female. I always felt I'd do upper blepharoplasty when the time was right. Was hoping to put it off with Botox treatments but even with that my lids now rest on my eyelashes and I look tired. The doctor I see for Botox wants to do temple and under eye fillers to help raise my eyelids a bit for now. I'm concerned that both treatments won't allow for a proper assessment of my lids when I go for blepharoplasty consultation.
