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.

	“Dont Do Eyelid Surgery if You Have...” I had upper and lower bleph without warning of dry eye complication. post op had severe dry eye - extremely painful eyes and poor vision for 9 months - not able to read for 3 months. Managing severe dry eye very debilitating - hard to protect defenseless eyes. Op surgeon not helpful - treatment with eye drops w preservative exacerbated dry eye issue.

	“Very Pleased with my Results - New...” I always looked tired, even when I wasn't and I felt that it made me look older. I went to the doctor for a consultation, as everyone--friends and colleagues-- kept remarking on how tired I looked, even when I'd had a full night sleep. I didn't know what type of procedure I'd need-- I thought maybe a partial facelift, but Dr. Engler told me that I'd most benefit from... more
	“Long Recuperation After Eyelid...” I had both upper and lower lids done on July 20th. The uppers had been covered by insurance ($5000) and I paid $3900 for the lowers. The instructions I had been given told me to use ice for 15-20 minutes per hour and sleep sitting up for the first 48 hours. I was also instructed not to read, watch tv, use a computer or drive for 48 hours. I told my doctor, afterwards, that his instructions... more
	“Nervous Patient - Happy W Results -...” I'm 38 and was spending upwards of 20,000 a year on injectables with one of the best docs in New York City. Was recommended by my dermatologist to see Dr David Rosenberg, who's not cheap but very thoughtful and absolutely against doing unnecessary procedures. At my first consultation he recommended lower bleph but not upper. Procedure was fine, not too much pain. Swelling took... more
	“Had a Rhinoplasty and Lower Lid...” -The cost for the would of actually been more but since I had two procedures done at the same time the price was reduced so you would have to call and ask for a quote. -I had surgery for two procedures on July 19 2011 with Dr. Sam Rizk and so far I'm very pleased with my rhinoplasty. - As for my lower lid blepharoplasty coming out of surgery I was very very swollen which is... more
	“Couldn't Be Happier! - White Plains, NY” I was considering having some face work done, so picking a plastic surgeon had to be one of the most important and crucial decisions that I ever had to make in my life. I work in a women’s center so I have seen various cosmetic surgeries done from different plastic surgeons. My mother and a friend of mine both had their face lifts done by Dr. C, years ago. Both were VERY happy with the... more
	“Upper Eyelid Surgery - Westport, CT” I had upperlid surgery on a Wed and was back to work for a business meeting on Monday. The surgery had very minimal risk since it was not done under general anesthesia. Lidocaine was administered to the upper eyelids & the procedure was about 1/2 hr per lid. After leaving the doctor's office I went out for lunch wearing sunglasses. A 1/2 of percocet was all that had to take for... more
	“I Didn't Get What I Paid for -...” I was getting tired looking at 54, however my eyes were not a disaster. I am a professional and wanted to maintain my appearance. The procedure could have been done much better in my opinion and that of others (including other plastic surgeons). more
	“Eyelids - New York, NY” My eyelids were hanging, and that seems much older than me. I was having trouble applying makeup and was not enough. My sister and I went to the office of Dr. S for surgery. He conducted a surgery of our eyelids in the office and only took about an hour. The sutures were removed four days later and I'm back to work and feel much better about myself. I never thought that plastic surgery can... more
	“So Happy! - New York” About 6 years ago, i made the decision to consult a doctor about my uneven breasts. For years I felt unattractive and lacked self confidence due to lopsided and sagging breasts. All i wanted at the time was to look "normal" and this problem was starting to take over my life. My close friend had just had a breast reduction with amazing results and recommended that i go see Dr. E.... more
	“Asymmetry After Upper Blepharoplasty...” I recently got upper eyelid surgery about 3 1/2 months ago. Over time the swelling decreased but my right eyelid is noticeably higher. My eyelids were not like this before. Surgeons says no eyes are symmetrical but they are at least CLOSE. I feel mine are not and I'm not satisfied. I paid 5,000 dollars and not for this. I am hearing to get a brow lift to fix this...will that correct it? Or... more
	“Eye Lid Surgery - I'd Do It Again” The surgery was not so bad i would do it again just the long recovery is the problem i would recomend my doctor he did a good job.I had eye lid surgery 5 weeks ago and i pulled on my lower lid cause there was something in my eye did i mess up my surgery more
	“Doc Made Mistake on Upper/lower...” I had some fat under my eyes which I thought was ugly. the doc talked me into upper eyelid surgery also. He also put a string on one side under the skin because left eyebrow was lower than right. The string broke, and it still can be seen under the skin at times.I'm afraid to go under any more surgical procedures, that is why I want to find out about Restylane & more
	“You Get What You Pay For!!” There are a lot of poor plastic surgeons out there so it's not surprising that some people were dissatisfied. A woman I know wanted to save money although she's pretty affluent. She went to a doctor who charged only $3500 and he made a mess of her eyes. I do not believe in economizing on one's face. Wearing cheaper underwear is a better strategy. I went to a highly regarded surgeon and I got... more

The recovery was quick, pain-free, and there was... more
	“Upper Eyelid Surgery Complication” I had upper eyelid surgery on both eyes on June 25th of this year. My right eyelid is not opening all the way when I look up or out to the side. When I raise my eyebrows my entire right eye pulls up. The left eye is not having any of these problems. Also, I have raised scars on the outside of both of my eyes.Could my doctor have injured the levator muscle in my right eye - or possible... more
	“Dark Circles from Lower Eyelid Bleph...” Had lower lid bleth, after 5 weeks I still have bruised dark circles due to damage. When will it go away, I have soft skin/Olive tone. more
	“Blepharoplasty Not Worth It; Beware” I had lower blepharoplasty performed because I had what I thought were "fat bags" under my eyes. I went to a well-known NY plastic surgeon. After the surgery, I still had the "bags" and also had newly developed wrinkles and apparent asymmetry. I now realize that the "bags" were probably not "fat bags," but malar mounds or... more
	“Changed my Life (Day 1 to Year 12) -...” I got this done 12 years ago when I was 22 and have been glad I did it ever since the day it was finished. I always had puffy eyes, since I was a kid and it always bothered me. People would always ask me if I was tired or if I had been crying. UGH. How annoying. I started researching online and decided I was going to get inner lower laser blephroplasty, meaning they would use a laser to cut... more
	“Would Do It Again in a Heartbeat” If I had known it was so easy I would have done it sooner. Worth every penny. I love the results and it was much less painful and less of a nuisance than I expected. I had initially gone for just the lower lids (bags run in the family) and my surgeon suggested that I do the uppers as well since they would be more noticeable when the lowers were done. He was right. Even though I was prescribed... more
