What is Eyelid Ptosis?
Eyelid ptosis is a condition in which one or both upper eyelids droop below their natural position, creating a tired, heavy, or asymmetrical appearance. In more pronounced cases, the drooping eyelid can partially obstruct vision, affecting both daily function and quality of life.
Ptosis can be present from birth — known as congenital ptosis — or develop later in life as an acquired condition. Acquired ptosis is most commonly caused by the natural ageing process, as the levator muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid gradually weakens over time. It can also occur as a result of previous eye surgery, contact lens wear, neurological conditions, or as a side effect of cosmetic Botox administered elsewhere.
How is Eyelid Ptosis Treated at Karwal Aesthetics?
At Karwal Aesthetics, Dr. Karwal employs a revolutionary non-surgical Botox technique to treat eyelid ptosis — offering patients a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. This advanced approach uses precise botulinum toxin injections to target the muscle responsible for pulling the eyelid downward, allowing the opposing lifting muscle to work more effectively and restore a natural, open eye appearance.
The treatment is quick, well-tolerated, and requires no general anaesthetic, no incisions, and no significant downtime — making it an appealing option for patients who wish to avoid the risks and recovery associated with surgical correction.
What are the Benefits of Non-Surgical Ptosis Treatment?
Non-surgical eyelid ptosis treatment with Botox offers a range of meaningful benefits compared to traditional surgical intervention. The procedure is minimally invasive with no scarring or stitches, results are visible within days, and the treatment can be easily adjusted or refined. It is suitable for patients who are not ready for surgery or who are not ideal surgical candidates, and it carries a significantly lower risk profile when performed by an experienced, medically trained practitioner.
What are the Success Rates for Non-Surgical Ptosis Treatment?
It is important to us at Karwal Aesthetics that every patient has honest, transparent information before proceeding with any treatment. Based on clinical experience, approximately 8 out of 10 patients treated for eyelid ptosis using this advanced Botox technique see a meaningful improvement in eyelid position and appearance. However, as with any medical treatment, results cannot be guaranteed — around 2 in 10 patients may see little to no response, particularly in cases where the underlying cause of ptosis is more complex or where muscle function is significantly compromised.
This is why a thorough consultation with Dr. Karwal is so important. During your appointment, Dr. Karwal will carefully assess your eyelid anatomy and the likely cause of your ptosis to give you an honest assessment of whether this treatment is likely to benefit you — and if it isn't, he will discuss alternative options to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
FAQs
-
Following treatment, patients typically notice a gradual lifting of the affected eyelid over the course of 1–2 weeks, with the eyes appearing more open, symmetrical, and refreshed. Results are subtle and natural-looking, restoring balance to the upper face without an overdone or surgical appearance. As with all botulinum toxin treatments, results are temporary and will require maintenance appointments to sustain.
