Does a blepharoplasty increase the rate the lower eyelid will sag?
Repeat offender?

Hi,
You are pretty young to need this kind of surgery, so likely your genetics are a big contributing factor. This may predispose you to the same thing happening down the road. Regardless, the ‘shelf-life’ of a lower lid blepharoplasty is different for everyone. In addition to genetics, weight gain and loss, sun exposure, and smoking, many other variables contribute to how well surgery holds up over time. So I believe your surgeons are being kind in letting you know it may not be a one time…

How Can I Fix One Drooping Eye?
Surgery may be helpful, but you definitely need a detailed exam

Hello,
I agree with many of the replies, and contact lens wear can lead to a drooping upper eyelid. A detailed exam with an eyelid expert is useful to rule out other causes. Also, as mentioned in the ‘ping pong’ post, there is something called Herring’s law. If one eyelid is droopy, your brain is essentially telling both eyelids to lift up higher. In essence, our brain has only only have one ‘volume control’ that connects to both eyelids. So if one eyelid is droopy, the dial gets set to 11…

I had some nerve damage on my forehead from a head injury, am I safe to get Botox still?
Botox after nerve injury

Hello,
Nerve damage that causes loss of sensation is from damage to a sensory nerve. The kind of nerves that are used to feel things, like touch, heat, cold etc… It sounds like that is the kind of nerve you injured, and why your forehead feels numb. Botox/neurotoxins are used to relax muscles. These muscles are controlled by motor nerves. These are the kind of nerves that we use to activate muscles to do something, like lifting your forehead up to wrinkle it. In theory, botox should not…

Hello,
We agree with attempting to minimize blood thinning medications in the 7 days prior to injection (including aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, etc..). Based on Dr. Mark Hallett’s research published in 2015, we also avoid applying ice to the injection sites as decreased temperature may limit uptake of the Botox. However, if a bruise develops during injection we hold pressure and then ice the area, as the Botox will tend to spread with the bruise and may end up in unwanted…

My left eye is getting smaller. Will Botox help this? What could be causing this?

Hi,
I agree with others, and I would consider Botox under the eyebrow to help elevate the brow a bit. This usually helps camouflage the asymmetry. I would just want to make sure you didn’t have severe dry eye syndrome before attempting, as it may weaken eyelid closure. Also, I would like to see what your eyelid looked like as it gets tired out during the day, as there may be a small underlying component of lid ptosis as well.

Harsh/Angry looking eye area, what can I do to make them softer?
What can be done to soften eye area

Hi,
A neurotoxin (like Botox) can often be used in the peri-ocular area (the area around your eyes) to help soften the frown lines and gently lift the brows. It can often make for a natural, more welcoming appearance.
Thanks, Tom
