Unfortunately, there is no way to answer this without examining you. "Droopy" means different things to different people so without knowing what the problem is, there can't be a way to present you with appropriate options.  To some people, droopy means extra skin that can be improved by a blepharoplasty.  To others, droopy means that the eyelid isn't as open as the other which is a condition called ptosis.  This requires a separate type of surgery.  Please seek consultation with some excellent plastic surgeons in your area to find out what can be done for you.

This is a complicated question to answer without examining you, as the options for correction of this problem include blepharoplasty, browlift, or even a ptosis procedure (a procedure for a droopy lid).  The best advice I can give you is to seek out a plastic surgeon in your area that is familiar and comfortable with eyelid surgery so that he or she can give you the best options for correction, as the eyelids are best corrected at the first procedure.  Second opinions are also a good idea in situations such as these-- remember it's your eyes we're talking about, so find the surgeon you're the most comfortable with.
