Blepharoplasty surgery or no surgery?
If you are looking at permanent results, then surgery, Blepharoplasty, is the way to go. If your issue is excess skin over the eyes then yes surgery is warranted. Botox injections above the eyebrows can give you some "lift" of the brows but will not address the excess skin. Blepharoplasty is an easy surgery that can performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation (also called twilight sedation) . The recovery is about a week with some bruising and some swelling.

Is There Anyway of Reducing Eyelid Folds Without Surgery?
If referring to upper eyelid folds, you mean excess upper eyelid skin, then the only way to reduce those are with surgery. Laser resurfacing can help with minor upper eyelid wrinkles. If you want to create a more defined eyelid crease you can do sutures without cutting any skin. Do not do Thermage on your upper eyelids.

Non-surgical eyelid rejuvenation
If the folds you are referring to is some minor skin excess, then laser resurfacing or chemical peeling would be excellent ways to improve those areas. If it is a volume problem, then injectable fillers are an option to fill in those areas as well. I hope this information helps.

Eyelid folds
Although surgery is the defintive way to remove excess eyelid skin, there are good nonsurgical options depending on the severity of the problem and the underlying cause.
If there is volume loss of the upper lid and brow or the area we call the tear trough restylane is an excellent product to address this.
Active muscles about the eye can contribute to downward position of the brow and worsening of the crow's feet. this can be addressed with botox.

Options for Eyelid Folds
The eyes are the windows to the soul. All too often, however, they seem to reveal exhaustion. The very delicate skin around the eyes tends to get crepey and puffy due to fatigue and stress. An effective non-surgical option that might benefit you is Thermage®, which can tighten the skin around the eyes. The new and improved Thermage® is a virtually painless, non-invasive (no incision!) treatment that can tighten skin and stimulate your body to make healthier collagen—the...

Improvement without surgery
The most effective way to improve the eyelids without surgery would be laser resurfacing. It can be repeated until you are satisfied, it may take several treatments and cost more in the end than surgery would but you would avoid surgery.

Maybe but the results are unpredictable. Surgery under local anesthesia still the best way. Why are you so concerned??? From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091

Fraxel repair for Reducing Excess Eyelid Skin Without Surgery
Hi Brit,
The best non-surgical treatment to reduce eyelid folds is with fractionated CO2 laser (Fraxel repair, Deep FX). The treatment is very safe and effective and can be repeated until you are satisfied. I treated Brittish journalist Kate Spicer on her BBC special "Super Botox Me" nearly three years ago. You can see the treatment at the below web reference. The December 2010 issue of Allure magazine (page 130) also discusses Fraxel...

Eyelid fold correction without surgery
Surgery is the best way to improve the eyelid folds and is long lasting. Fillers and Botox may be used to modify this area somewhat but it is temporary.

Nonsurgical eyelid solutions
The answer depends on what the folds are due to. If folds are due to volume loss, then injectable fillers can be used. If it is due to underlying muscle action, then botox can be used. If they are due to poor skin elasticity, then skin resurfacing with chemical peel or laser can be used. These are all nonsurgical options.

Any way of Reducing Eyelid Folds Without Surgery?
Surgery of the Upper lid (Upper Blepharoplasty) provides the most precise and predictable way to correct excess upper lid skin, upper lid bulging, sagging upper lid or a missing upper lid crease. While other "treatments" may be touted, none is effective, predictable and safe.

Upper Eyelid Skin Folds-Minimal Correction is Possible using Botox and Fillers
Excess skin of the upper eyelid is best treated surgically, period. For those people who do not have time for a surgical intervention, a minor correction may be obtained using Botox and fillers in certain cases. In some people, the eyebrows have dropped somewhat due to loss of underlying volume. By weakening the muscles that pull the eyebrows down and at the same time increasing the volume of the eyebrows, can show a significant improvement. This is an advanced...

Usually getting rid of eyelid folds requires surgery
Most of the time changing your eyelid folds requires surgery. The surgery is called a blepharoplasty and is performed with either regular local anesthesia or local anesthesia in addition to twilight sleep sedation. Some people have very droopy eyebrows which can contribute to eyelid folds as well. This is corrected with a forehead lift.
However, some people have loss of fat under their eyebrows. This happens to most people as they get older. This loss...
