Eyelids Hooding Too Soon, Need Advice on Which To Choose

See photos. I'm 32 and my skin is otherwise in great condition with no permanent wrinkles yet. I am wondering which would be right for me (and my budget). I've read there are many different methods, but based on these photos, looking for your advice. This is making me look older than I am I feel. Thermage Eyes ($1000 for eyes only) Pixel Perfect Fractional Rejuvination ($300 for eyes only) Blepharoplasty ($3000) Any Other Suggestions?

A: Ptosis or skin or volume, how can you tell?

None of us can determine what is your problem from a few static photos. Only a physical exam by a board certified plastic surgeon can determine if any of these things are contributing to your concerns. But for free, you can look in the mirror and determine if you have brow ptosis.

1- Look into the mirror and close your eyes. Keep them closed in a relaxed manner for about a minute (to let the forehead muscles relax).

2- Put a finger on your eyebrow and do not let it move. Then open your eyes. If the eyebrow tries to move upward or moves upward after you take your finger off of it, then you have some brow ptosis.

If you think you have lost eyebrow volume, then ptosis may occur and the test above may be appropriate. Another way to evaluate brow volume loss is to compare current eyes with old photos.

Finally, if it is just a little excess skin, be wary of too much surgery. You have a predisposition for looking too hollow. Only have skin excision - not skin and muscle.

I hope this does not confuse - Good Luck!

Very Seriously Considering Upper Blepharoplasty, 20 Yrs Old, Am I a Good Candidate?

Im a 20 y/o and wondering if it's possible to undergo upper blepharoplasty.When looking at my eyes in person you can see very little eyelid as i have naturally hooded eyes.People usually say 'you look tired' or think i look angry.I would also like to be able to wear eyeshadow as currently the crease of my eyelid is hidden so much. Because of my age my skin isn't sagging like most people that undergo this surgery so i'm wondering if it is still possible?Looking for surgeons in Adelaide, Australia

A: You have beautiful eyes- Don't mess it up!

You have a natural variant of beautiful eyes. The heaviness of the upper lids you describe creates a sultry look. The fact that you have a hard time putting on eyeshadow should be deemed a plus. Don't rush plastic surgery!

What is the Best Procedure is to Correct the Troughs Under my Eyes?

I have deep indents from the corner of the inside of my eyes that goes down my cheeks, fairly deep. it really bothers me, and i need to do something about it. i tryed restylane but it did nothing, although i only had about $600 total injected in both sides. I was thinking maybe lower Blepharoplasty? please help.

A: Fat Transfer under the eyes restores tear trough hollow

The area you describe is the space between the cheek tissues and the muscles that surround the eyes. In some people, this area can be hollow, giving the tear trough. Filling this area with fat will improve the look. Typically it takes 2-4 cc's of fat per side to get a fully rejuvenated look. Obviously , .8cc of  filler is not going to do the job. My favorite is the Viafill fat transfer system. It provide a large amount of viable smooth fat for a smooth contour correction.
