I am concerned with the upper lid heaviness/overall unrefined look to my eyes...they have looked this way for as long as i can remember. I cannot wear makeup without it smearing and looking 'sloppy' and feel like my eyes make me look more masculine, especially when smiling. I have been on a few consultations and have been told multiple times that an upper blepharoplasty is what I should look into and once that a browlift would address my concerns. Which procedure would benefit me more?

Answer: Deflated sagging brows
Your eyebrow is DEFLATED, meaning it is relatively hollow. Do NOT do brow lift. Although conservative upper blepharoplasty can help with the appearance of the upper eyelid, a better option might be filler/fat injection into your eyebrows. See an oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon for proper evaluation and treatment options.

Answer: Blepharoplasty or browlift?
I think you will get different opinions on this question and none of them are wrong. But personally, I'd advocate upper blepharoplasty instead of browlift since it is a less invasive procedure.

Answer: Browlift with or without upper lid skin resection?
Thanks for the pictures. Your photos suggest that a browlift would be my first recommendation to elevate the lateral brow position. This will make the lateral upper lids appear less heavy and correct the concerns for a masculine appearance. For optimal support of future skin aging, the upper lid blepharoplasty should also be considered to anchor the upper lid folds in a more open position as well. So, I would recommend you consider both procedures for best balance.
