Age 32 - My eyelids are drooping. What are my best options? (photo)

Question

I’m 32 years old and have always been bothered by my eyes being deep set/close together/not a very high arch with a heavy eyelid, but it seems like my eyelid is now beginnng to sag. I am thinking of getting blepharoplasty, an eyebrow lift, and/or a brow one reduction. I have also noticed the skin around my jaw has begun to sag. I know I’m probably too young for a facelift but I don’t know what my best option is.

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Hello !

Based on your pictures, it looks like you are a good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty and an endoscopic brow lift - which can allow full control of the shape with the right technic.

It is possible for some young people to be good candidates for a facelift (here, a link to a picture of a facelift I performed on a woman in her early 30’).

Of course, an « in person » exam is necessary.

I hope this helps, 
Best of luck !
