I am 48 yrs. old and have inherited excess skin on one of my eyelids, but as I age both are showing excess skin hanging over corners of eyes. The opthalmologist / cosmetic surgeon that I saw recommended Blepharoplasty, Liposuction to the inside corners and a Brow lift. I am concerned this this is too aggressive and I might have regrets as I age. What are your thoughts?

Answer: Combination of Upper Blepharoplasty and Browlift We certainly do not shy away from combining both of these procedures to enhance the upper portion of the face/ eye region. BUT conservatism of the browlift is important. A browlift is certainly the one procedure where the surgeon should not show how high he can lift the brows. Rather, I like to reposition the eyebrows reliably and appropriately for an aesthetically pleasing enhancement. At the time of a browlift, we have the unique opportunity to soften frown creases and forehead lines so that most patients will not require Botox treatments after a browlift.

Answer: Treating the brow and eyelids together is a common approach Treating both the eyelids and the brow together is a common approach, but I have not heard of liposuction to the eyelids. What your doctor may have been saying is that there is some fat there that would need to be directly removed, not suctioned (big difference between the two). If that is the case, his approach seems reasonable.

Answer: Upper blepharoplasty can rejuvenate your eyelids. I read your question, and it's difficult to comment on this combination of procedures without seeing your photos.
