Blepharoplasty vs Brow Lift

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Upper Blepharoplasty or Brow Lift for heavy eyelids?

I am 30 with heavy eyelids. There is no fat, just excess skin. I am wondering whether I am a candidate for an upper Blepharoplasty or a Brow Lift.

I feel like there is a lot of space between my brows and eyes and a brow lift might look strange. I've seen a few doctors and received a host of responses - some say my eyes would be easy to do, some thought it was hard, and one said to leave them alone because I might look bug-eyed? Thoughts?

As others have mentioned, you do have a prominent eye with some lid retraction.  Your brows appear to be in pretty good position and you will likely be a candidate for conservative excision of upper eyelid skin, blepharoplasty.

I believe this would give the result you are looking for without the surprised look!

Good luck.
