Asked By:missmac82 in Boca Raton, FL

I'm a 34 yr old Caucasian woman with prominent epicanthic folds & hooded lids. Aging seems to be further exaggerating my naturally hooded lids and making me appear old and tired. One Plastic surgeon said upper bleph is no problem, then an oculoplastic surgeon said no to upper Bleph and recommended a brow lift because of the epicanthic folds. How long will recovery take? I normally swell and bruise more than most people (another awesome trait). What can I do about creepy under eye area?
