My personal opinion would be to defer surgery at this time. Although the extra skin on the outside of you upper eyelids would likely be improved with a forehead lift, I have concerns regarding the final appearance of your eyebrows.

Will forehead tucks help make the eye area less droopy?
Someone suggested "forehead tucks" on each side of the forehead to make the area under my eyebrows and over my outer eyelids look less droopy. I had a blepharoplasty in 2003, although I was not happy with the results because there's too much scarring and my eyes are uneven.

A: Endoscopic Browlift is the procedure of choice
While I cannot see your hairline in the picture it appears that a conservative endoscopic browlift would be very helpful. If your hairline is already elevated then a modified endoscopic browlift using a trichophytic "pre-hairline" incision would be indicated. As far as laser removal of... more
A: It is really a bad idea to remove eyebrows.
I am not sure what "forehead tucks" are, but presumably it is what some call "temporal lift". You should be careful with it since it may create too much of an exaggerated arch to your eyebrow. I would also caution you strongly about "lasering off" your eyebrows. You eyebrow... more
