Droopy Eyelids Treatment

Open and lift heavy, hooded eyelids non-surgically

Drooping upper eyelids — caused by skin excess, muscle weakness or brow descent — make the eyes look tired and can even impair the upper visual field. Our doctors assess the cause and offer Botox brow lifting, plasma skin tightening and thread lifting as non-surgical alternatives to surgical blepharoplasty.

The cause of droopy eyelids significantly affects the treatment approach. Brow descent responds to Botox brow lift; skin excess requires plasma or surgical removal; true ptosis from levator muscle weakness may require ophthalmology referral. Correct diagnosis is the first step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Botox fix droopy eyelids?

Botox injected into the brow depressors can lift the brow and open the eye by 1–3mm — effective for mild hooding caused by brow descent rather than skin excess.

When should I see a surgeon about droopy eyelids?

If drooping significantly impairs your upper visual field or is caused by significant skin excess, surgical blepharoplasty is the most effective solution and we can refer you to a specialist.
