Can I get liposuction to my upper eyelid and brow fat pad? (photos)

Thank you for your question, based on the pictures you appear to be good candidate for upper blepharoplasty which consist in remove the skin excess of your upper eyelid. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Based on your photos the correct procedure to address your concerns is an upper blepharoplasty. I'm not sure why it wasn't addressed if you've had this procedure previously. An upper blepharoplasty can often be performed under local anesthesia in the surgeon's procedure room.

Thank you for posting your photos with your interesting question. It appears that you are a good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty. Your eyebrow position and shape is fine. Upper blepharoplasty can be done under local anesthesia. I recommend that you have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with blepharoplasty.

There in no possibility for liposuction in eyelid. Your upper eyelid has a fat pad prolapse. Basically you need a blepharoplasty and fat pad removal or transposition.

No, no, no, no, no, no!!! Liposuction is never done in the eye area for it is very unsafe and could cause blindness. Also, you have more than just fat in that area and some things cannot be removed.

Liposuction is not appropriate of the eyelids. Some people have a thick layer of subcutaneous fat in their eyelids while others don’t. There’s a big ethnic diversity in regards to fat in eyelid skin. Asians often have more fat in their eyelids than Europeans.

I recognize the frustration but do not believe Liposuction is a safe or appropriate approach.

Your results may be related to the position of the eyelid crease, scar tissue that’s contracting in the crease itself.

Get second opinion consultations by having in person consultations with experienced plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, ocular plastic surgeons in your community will have the most experience and proven talent.
