Re: botox injections to the eyelids.
A doctor who has great technique can give some injections above the eyelid, but must really know what they are doing to prevent ptosis. Botox diffuses too badly for me to get it anywhere above my eyelids. I will get full blown ptosis to mild drooping everytime no matter who gives it. So your answer is Yes,Maybe.

Thanks Delaine, I guess this is why my neurologist doen't give injections to the eyelid, although he said he would refer me to someone who may be able to do this if I didn't get much relief. Injecting the muscles around the eyes has really helped, but I guess I still dream of being able to drive or watch TV without feeling stressed or frustrated, or both. I think I have to try! I wonder, is some degree of ptosis always experienced if the eyelid is injected?

I get injections in the corners of the upper lids each time with no ptosis but I haven't gotten them in the center of the lid before.

Tricia, i did get injections from one doctor close to the base of the eyelashes in the uppur lid. It was far too painful for me to handle. There really isn't anyway to numb that are. I don't seem to get upper lid injections lately. I definitely get a fluctuation, ptosis period of time , where my eye muscle try to stablize themselves, along with a pulling feeling that hurts, not every time but enough for it to be a problem
