Upper Anchor Blepharoplasty? (Photos)
I am 40 yrs old. My doctor suggested upper anchor blepharoplasty for my upper eyelids assuring me that this procedure will give me a refreshed and youthful look with little recovery time. Additionally, he will perfom fat injection to fill out the hollows under and around my eyes.I have doubts whether am a good candidate for anchor blep. since from the little info i have found on the internet it is usually performed in asian patients. Should i consult with an other surgeon for a different option?

Upper Blepharoplasty and Fat Grafting
Keep interviewing plastic surgeons. For many, fat grafting in the brow / upper lid junction can produce very pleasing, natural looking and youthful results.
The upper eyelid is a thin structure that normally does not contain any significant amount of subcutaneous fat. So fat grafting of the upper eyelid itself would not produce an aesthetically pleasing result, and would in fact be quite dangerous to attempt. The area between the brow and the upper eyelid crease, on the other hand,...

I would not seek out anyone who diagnoses you based on a blurry photograph.
Multiple opinions never hurt. Fat simply does not do what we want it to do in the upper eyelid. Having fat place in your delicate eyelid is only going to cause scar tissue in the delicate glide planes of the upper eyelid. Anchor blepharoplasty is a fussy procedure that is very helpful for forming a new eyelid crease. Certainly if I opened your eyelid, and it would not be for placing fat, I would perform an anchor blepharoplasty in closing the eyelid. This is...

Anchor is not for you
Your'e a smart girl . Its a double eyelid procedure for heavy eyes. You have deep eyes. If you were my patient I would fill in your upper eyes with fat.Look at Mila kunis's eyes or Natalie Portman or Angelina . They all have heavy upper lid maybe not really heavy but full and not deep. Its a simple procedure really but you need an experienced expert to do it

Droopy and hollow eyes
Morning Anon,
I'm not sure what he/she means by "anchor" but I assume it means a ptosis repair or what's called a levator advancement. In any case, see a few experienced eye surgeons or facial plastic surgeons before proceeding. A ptosis repair and recreation of an eyelid crease would look nice on you and some fat may not hurt. This is a complex series of procedures to give you your final look so get a few consults first. In my...

Upper anchor blepharoplasty
The primary goal of an upper blepharoplasty procedure is to remove excess skin on the upper lids. From the picture shown there is a small amount of skin present but it does not appear that there are any fat issues on the upper lids. We do not perform fat injections in the lower lids due to the lumpiness, unevenness, and unpredictability of the healing process related to fat grafts.

Anchor blepharoplasty and upper lids are probably not for you. Get a second opinion from an experienced plastic surgeon.

Blurry photos:(
"Anchor" blepharoplasty is a term that not very commonly used, and honestly, I'm not quite sure what your surgeon meant by that. He/she may mean reformation of an upper eyelid crease.
Looking at your photos, though a bit blurry, it seems to me that you have a mildly "Asian" look to your eyelids. This is partially because you have mild upper eyelid ptosis [droopiness], with a mild amount of excess skin, and poorly formed, if any, upper eyelid crease.
