How Botox Can Help Lift Drooping Eyelids

Drooping eyelids, or ptosis, can make you look tired, aged, or less alert — and in some cases, even obstruct vision. While surgery is often the definitive treatment, Botox® offers a non-surgical option for lifting mildly drooping eyelids and enhancing overall eye appearance. Khan Eyelid and Facial Aesthetics, led by oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Tanya Khan, provides Botox for drooping eyelids to patients in Plano, Dallas, Austin, Texas, and surrounding locations.

How Botox Works

Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. When used strategically around the eyes and forehead, it can:

– Relax the muscles that pull the brow downward
– Allow the brow and upper eyelid to lift subtly
– Open the eyes for a brighter, more refreshed look

This technique is often called a “Botox brow lift.”

Who Is a Candidate?

Ideal candidates for Botox eyelid lifting include those who:

– Have mild eyelid drooping (not severe ptosis)
– Want a non-surgical solution
– Are not ready or eligible for blepharoplasty
– Are looking for subtle, temporary results

Patients with significant eyelid sagging or visual obstruction will likely need surgery for meaningful improvement.

What to Expect

– The treatment takes about 10–15 minutes
– Minimal discomfort, no downtime
– Effects appear within 3–5 days and last 3–4 months
– Repeat treatments are required to maintain results

Results are subtle but effective, often lifting the outer brow and giving the eyes a more awake look.

Benefits of Botox for Eyelid Drooping

– Non-invasive and fast
– Cost-effective compared to surgery
– Can be combined with other aesthetic treatments (e.g., fillers, laser)

For some, Botox may delay or eliminate the need for surgical intervention.

Final Thoughts

Botox can be an excellent option for patients with mild eyelid droop who want a quick, non-surgical refresh. If you’re considering Botox to lift your eyelids, consult with an oculoplastic or experienced injector to ensure safe, optimal placement.
