Question

19 What is wrong with my eyes I have thee upper eyelids look droopy I don’t know makes my eye feel heavy and have bad eye cricles

Lexie Wang, MD · Answer

It looks like you have eyelid ptosis - that's probably your biggest issue, making your eyelids look droopy, but I wouldn't be surprised if you also have heavy brows, fatty eyelids, that could also be addressed. I don't really see the undereye circles you are talking about beyond what is a "normal" amount.

Hi SociableYou feel that your eyelids are droopy and in the photos you sent, I have to agree. You have a bit of drooping both of the eyelids themselves and of your eyebrows. 
A consult with an oculoplastic surgeon will give you some helpful information as to how the droop can be corrected. When it impairs your vision to a signficant degree, it is possible that your medical insurance may cover the correction--or at least a part of it. Your dark under eye circles could be managed with a variety of topicals, and for that you could consult with the same surgeon mentioned above or consider seeing a dermatologist.
Good luck!

Thank you for your inquiry!  We would love to meet and discuss your concerns!  A Blepharoplasty will help remove excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids.  Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.
