Upper eyelids

Andrew Pichler, MD answers: Upper Blepharoplasty or Brow Lift for heavy eyelids?

I am 30 with heavy eyelids. There is no fat, just excess skin. I am wondering whether I am a candidate for an upper Blepharoplasty or a Brow Lift.

I feel like there is a lot of space between my brows and eyes and a brow lift might look strange. I've seen a few doctors and received a host of responses - some say my eyes would be easy to do, some thought it was hard, and one said to leave them alone because I might look bug-eyed? Thoughts?

You dont have much upper lid visibility. A carefully (conservatively) done upper lid procedure would give you a nice "crease" that is desirable. As far as the eyebrows, you could have lateral (outer) brow lift done.....not the center and inner part of the brow. That is how you avoid the surprised look. Elevating the outer (lateral) part of the brow usually gives a nice open, interested, alert look. Get several opinioms
