Droopy or saggy eyelids can be problematic for even the most confident individual. Most recently, blepharoplasty has been a reliable and correctional procedure to combat weighty eyes. However, 
because the surgery requires minimal, local or general anesthesia and minor surgical incisions, individuals are a little hesitant and question whether the procedure is really in their best interest. Fortunately, if you decide you are not ready to commit to blepharoplasty there are alternative non-surgical treatments to minimize and eliminate the torment of saggy eyelids.
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulator treatment is a less surgically demanding procedure than blepharoplasty. Using botulinum toxin, the surgeon makes a mild injection, which temporarily paralyzes the muscles that are responsible for creating wrinkles. In instances of excessive drooping of the eyelids, the surgeon will likely inject surrounding areas of your eyes in order to create a smoother texture thereby enhancing the appearance of your eyes and ridding your skin of the wrinkles that help to create the drooping effect. Neuromodulator injections typically last for up to four months and each treatment can last from 15 to 20 minutes.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, like neuromodulator injections, however, they consist of “naturally-derived or synthetic material” that is injected into skin with the intention of plumping the respective area to alleviate folds in the skin. Dermal fillers can be easily confused with neuromodulators, but the latter primarily focuses on injections in the forehead and works to inhibit muscle contractions whereas the former is targets plumping. Additionally, dermal fillers can last anywhere from six months to a few years depending on the type of filler. Some of those fillers on the market include Juvederm, Radiesse, and Evolence.
Laser Skin resurfacing
The purpose of Laser skin resurfacing is to stimulate the production of collagen by the application of a laser around the eyes. This procedure is ideal for droopy eyes because it replaces the loss of collagen, which is usually the source of sagging eyes in the first place.
