Question

What would be more beneficial for my hooded eyes, an eyebrow lift or an eyelid-surgery?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You are likely a candidate for a blepharoplasty procedure to correct hooding and improve a droopy upper lid. This eyelid surgery addresses the area around the eyes by tightening loose muscles, repositioning fat, and removing excess skin as necessary.
This approach may result in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that can last for approximately 5-7 years. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your needs and help you decide on the best approach.

Hello @Mizcentrik thank you for your question and showing your pictures. A superior blefaroplasty and a trans conjunctival inferior blefaroplasty will be more beneficial than an eyebrow lift, since the eyebrows still have good projection with the eyelid. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

The height of your eyebrows is excellent, and no brow lift is necessary. Consider performing an upper blepharoplasty to address the hooded upper eyelids. In our practice,  upper eyelid surgery can be performed under local anesthesia as in outpatient surgical procedure.

Based upon the posted photos only upper eye lift lift is needed with HA fillers to your tear troughs. Fees in the $5,000 ranges.
