What procedures would be best for my hooded/ptotic eyes? (Photos)

Question

In the first pic are my eyes totally at rest. T I was told by opthamologist that I have excess skin and ptosis (we also did visual field tests to confirm). However he didn’t mention a brow lift. The Second picture is with me lifting my brows. My question is : which procedures would Give the best result, what the approx cost would be, and can both eyes be done at the same time? Thank you!

You may benefit from a browlift.  A browlift can elevate the eyebrows, lower the hairline and remove the forehead wrinkles.  At the same time, you can undergo an upper blepharoplasty.

Best Wishes,

Before jumping to surgery with its expense, risks for infection and scarring, and for engendering post-surgical downtime, you may wish to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert to discuss the use of Botox +/- an HA filler for a nonsurgical browlift--especially since simply raising your brows led to such an improvement. Hope this helps and best of luck.

It appears that upper blepharoplasty and ptosis repair are your priorities. Brow lift may also be considered. Good luck.

Dear Alexa8280,
It does appear in the at rest photo that you have both brow ptosis and blepharoptosis (eyelid).  The curious thing is that when you elevate your brows there are no wrinkles on your forehead.  This begs the question of whether or not you have had recent Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, Xeomin treatment?  If so, a re-evaluation needs to be done when that has worn off.  If not, then you would benefit from a brow lift and possibly eyelid ptosis repair/upper blepharoplasty.  Both eyes would be done at the same time and costs could range widely from $7500-$15,000 depending on who and where you go and the techniques used.  Good luck!
