Upper Eyelids Are Drooping - What are my Options?

I am 25 years old and I was born with that puppy look, like people call. But now, I can't handle it because I feel that my sight is tired and my upper eyelids are dropping and I am very concern of how I am going to look as I get older. Is there any surgery non invasive or any cream?

Options for drooping upper eyelids

When the upper eyelid skin becomes too heavy and starts touching the lashes, a simple upper blepharoplasty operation can be performed through a skin only excision along the upper eyelid crease. The stitches are usually dissolvable and patients can go back to work after approximately 10 days.

Full Upper Eyelids

Many people (including top models) have a full upper eyelid and brow. Yours seem very pretty in the picture you sent. From your photo, it seems unlikely that your eyelids and brow are compromising your vision. A visit to an Ophthalmologist can determine that for you, if that is your concern. Certainly, you can consult a surgeon if you have an aesthetic concern. As another respondent suggested, one can sometimes get a small degree of shape change and brow elevation with... more

Droopy upper eyelids in a 25 year old

It is hard to tell from your pictures because they were taken at an angle. A straight on view would be helpful. However, in the photo provided, I do not see a significant amount of drooping to either eyelid. At age 25, I do not think that you would be a suitable candiate right now for eyelid surgery. If you are still concerned, I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Names and addresses can be found in the American Society... more

Will eyelid surgery or Brow Lift open my eyes.

From your photos, your eyebrows are lower than the aesthetic ideal and this is what's creating fullness of the upper eyelids. The solution would be a Brow Lift, not an upper eyelid surgery. In fact, in this scenario, if you had an upper Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, the Brows would wind up lower in position as the upper eyelid incision was closed. Wait until you are ready to lift your eyebrows.

Lateral hooded eyelids at age 25

You are beautiful Lynda, and your orbital structure demonstrates a prominent lateral supraorbital edge that is considered exotic and very desireable in some cultures. The concern you have about how this will look as you get older is not an indication for surgery at this time. You have lots of time to research your options, and technology gets better as the years go by. Look at your parents to determine how you may age. What, in your parents' eyes,... more

Eyelid drooping

Dear Linda, If you feel like your eyes are getting tired, I would go get a medical check-up by an ophthamologist (not an optometrist). It is rare for someone of your age to need eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, and given your look, I don't think it would help. You want to make sure there aren't other things going on, medically speaking, that are causing your eyelids to become tired. Try to make a note to see if the tiredness is worse at the end of the day... more

Options for drooping upper eyelids

From your photos you do not appear to have drooping eyelids or eyelid ptosis. It looks as if you have some very moderate lateral subbrow fullness. From your photos and given your young age, I would caution you against any surgery at ths time. In the future, as you age, you may want to consider a lateral brow lift, but I would not suggest this for you right now. You could consider a non surgical treatment such as botox, if you are not... more

Droopy eyelid treatment for a 25 year old

Unfortunately your photos are not taken in a standard fashion, and thorough examination is necessary to fully comment. Usually 25 years old is very young to have aging issues actually affect your eyelids or brow. If you are having heaviness in your eyelids that may be affecting your vision, you need a full examination to make sure you do not have a medical condition called eyelid ptosis, which is a weakness of the muscles and attachments that open your eyelid. If... more

Lateral brow fullnes

HArd to say from one oblique photo, but a good exam could help. In general, it is rare to do anything for a 25 year old to treate the lateral fulness. In fact, lateral fullness is a sign of youth( Look at Catherine Zeta-Jones). If you wnat a slight elevation I would consider Botox to the tail of the eyebrow.
