Q: How would Blepharoplasty affect thin face?

A:

Dear B

Once you have done your homework to find well qualified surgeons to do your cosmetic surgery, the chemistry of confidence is the most important next element. Part of that chemistry is finding someone who listens to your concerns and does not just do their thing. Perhaps you might do well with fat grafting.  

However, if you are not comfortable with it, don't have it done. I also agree that more eyelid surgery can significantly increase your risk of having an altered lower eyelid shape. I don't think that thinness of the face is really the issue here. I would encourage you to interview more surgeons. You will find someone who is absolutely right for you.
