Do I need an upper blepharoplasty or brow bone shaving to fix this? (Photos)

Asked By:Bumblebeebuuuzzz in 11763

I seem to have protruding eyelids/eyebrow bones,I have had this since I was a baby, it can be seen in baby photos.Based on photos do you think it’s possible that an upper blepharoplasty could make it less protruding?The hump that’s on the outer edge of lid and the bump on the tail of my eyebrow bothers me.I wish it was more flat. It’s more prominent in one side.I was considering bone shaving but that seems very extreme and expensive and it doesn’t seem like there are many surgeons that do it.

Answer: I have yet to meet someone who had their eyebrow bone "shaved" what was not disfigured by this surgery.
