Hi, I have hooded eyelids with one heavier than the other. I am 32 years old but I can see it getting worse with age. My entire family had hooded eyelids and with age they’ve gotten horrible. Not sure if I am a candidate but I am really interested. Thank you.
Answer: Less is more. Your upper eyelid fold is a very important feature of your youthful beauty. What you need is a very thoughtful upper blepharoplasty that preserves your upper eyelid fold but exposed a small strip of the upper eyelid platform that is the same on each side. The right upper eyelid has mild ptosis which means the eyelid is heavy. This also can be fixed with ptosis surgery. Although your right eye seems to be the heavier of the two eyes, there is a left compensatory eyebrow elevation. That suggests that there may be some compensated ptosis in the left upper eyelid. That needs to be investigated at the time of your consultation. It is likely that the left upper eyelid tendon that opens the eye also needs to be strengthened. The results will be brighter, jewel like eyes that add drama to your appearance. Your eyes can be your best feature.

Answer: Heavy hooded eyelids Yes, you are correct. You have bilateral hooding of your eyes, which makes you a an excellent candidate for an endoscopic brow lift. This will uncover your eyelids, open your eyes, and soften the wrinkles of your central brown when you smile.

Answer: How to treat hooding over the eyes: What you need to know Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on your photo and your family history, you may be a candidate for upper blepharoplasty. If you are bothered by your hooded upper eyelids, upper blepharoplasty or an upper eye lift is a surgical procedure used to correct drooping or heavy upper eyelids. The result is a more open eye and a refreshed appearance.

Answer: An Upper Blepharoplasty Will Address Your Eyelid Hooding. Thank you for your questions and pictures! To answer your question, you would be a candidate for an upper blepharoplasty. Horizontal eyelid wrinkles and sagginess can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It really depends on your unique anatomy as well as what exactly is bothering you.

Answer: Upper blepharoplasty Thank you for your question. Based on your photo you're likely a great candidate. In upper blepharoplasty, excess skin is removed from the eyelid, and the incision hides nicely in a natural eyelid crease we all have. I hope that helps, and all the best to you.
