Will Upper Eyelid Lift Make my Eyes Less Tired?

Upper Eyelid hooding caused by excess upper eyelid skin can give you a tired look. Upper Blepharoplasty, often called an eye lift or eyelid lift can remove the hooding and make the eyes appear more bright and alert.

Be certain that your doctor examines you for Ptosis. Ptosis is an eyelid droop caused by a muscle problem and the Blepharoplasty will not correct Ptosis. Ptosis is often referred to as "bedroom eyes."

Heavy or baggy upper eyelids can contribute to a tired appearance.  Many other factors can be involved as well including brow position, lower eyelid contour and midface contour.  Your first step should be to consult with a surgeon experienced in treating the eyelids and upper face.  This discussion will identify the factors influencing your tired appearance and options to correct them.  Best of luck.

The short answer is yes. It depends on your photos showing if this is an eyelid problem or far more commonly a brow problem. In 35 years of doing forehead lifts and co inventor of the Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift, more than 90% of patients have a brow problem.
