Will laser resurfacing be enough to fix my hooded eyelids?

September 27, 2015
Asked By:nearlynatural in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 27 and have noticed some minor hooding on my eyelids. It is more prominent on one side so the lower crease on one side makes my eyes appear assymetrical. Would laser resurfacing fix this issue completely? Or is blepharoplasty the way to go?
