Thermage for upper lid and brow
Hi Sora,
Thanks for posting your photos.
I use Thermage CPT in my practice and have seen some really good results in young healthy skin into which category you fit.
Thermage does not result in the same lift that surgery would achieve but I think in your case it would really freshen the upper third of your face and leave surgery as a second option if necessary.
I often advocate thermage a year prior to surgery to "shrink wrap" the skin as much as possible so...

Thermage for eyelids
From the photo, you look like a great candidate for Thermage of the eyelids. It does work quite well in patients your age and should give you a nice gradual result. It is not as dramatic as having eyelid surgery but given that it takes an hour, it is a fantastic option. A second treatment can be done about 4-6 months after the first to continue the improvement if you wish. Hope this helps.

Droopy eyelids and Thermage
You are the ideal patient for radiofrequency tightening (Thermage) to treat early eyelid laxity. Thermage works best in younger skin, and you do not have too much sagging at this point. Further you have little to loose as there is no down time with Thermage, and if you are not satisfied after 4 to 6 months you can still do surgery.

Thermage for upper lid folds?
In your case, I do not think that Thermage would produce an acceptable result. I tend to be very conservative when dealing with patients in their 30s, but sometimes, genetics produces early folding and I think you are one of those patients who would benefit from an upper lid blepharoplasty. This can even be performed under local anesthesia in an office setting and the recovery time is rapid.
