Treating hooded eyelids
Hooded eyelids are best treated by the blepharoplasty procedure which removes excess skin on the upper lids along with a small amount of fat. The fat can create more of a puffiness on the upper lids while the hoodedness is created by excess skin. The incision is placed directly in the upper lid skin crease and will be virtually indistinguishable when healed. This is usually done under a brief general anesthetic as an outpatient procedure.

Eyelid hooding..
Based on the photos you’ve submitted it appears that you have relative hooding of the upper eyelids that makes the eyes appear look tired as well as essentially hiding the true shape of your eyes.

It is important with your ethnic background to choose a surgeon who is highly experience in performing Asian upper eyelid surgery.

The other is descent/fall of the eyebrows (especially the lateral outer half), for which requires eyebrow/forehead lifting.

Correction of Hooded Eyelids
The correction of hooded eyelids requires evaluation. In most cases, it will require skin resection and fat removal, only if needed.

Hooded Eyelids
You seem to be a very good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty (excision of the excess upper lid skin). This procedure takes about half an hour and you will have some bruising for about a week. I recommend you see Dr. John McCann or Dr. Rick Anderson in Salt Lake City.
