Is Botox a substitute for an eye lift?

I have had both Botox and and eye lift. Botox doesn't "lift" anything. It simply paralyzes the muscle into which it is injected. This makes any lines or furrows in that area relax and fade quite a bit. In order to have your eyes actually lifted you need to have it done surgically. I personally found it to be no big deal, with only a little down time.
