Hi @jackiema. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend an in-person evaluation with a facial plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and treatment options.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Although an in-person exam would be necessary to provide a definitive answer, based on the photo you have provided it does appear you would be a suitable candidate for an upper blepharoplasty. During the surgery a small amount of fat will be removed, and your crease will be formed and set at a bit higher. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. @drdonyoo

Yes, an upper blepharoplasty procedure can accomplish a conservative skin removal and a small amount of fat to rejuvenate your upper eyelids. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. General Anesthesia not required for the upper eyelid surgery.

There is an excess of tissue that weighs on your upper eyelids. This gives you a tired look. Removing the excess skin on your upper eyelids and the fat tissue underlying will eliminate swollen appearance. This is beneficial for your eyes to appear more and look younger. This operation can be performed under local anesthesia you can continue your daily life. As a result, it is a very efficient operation. It has a positive effect on the appearance. I have done this operation thousands of times, each time the patients have been very happy.
