Non surgical options for tired, sagging upper eyelids? (Photo)

Question

Hi there! I'm 34 years old and am noticing that my eyes are not as wide and "open" as they used to be. I understand that an upper bleph is the gold standard however Id like to put this off until I'm around 40. What treatments would you suggest to help open up my eyes and reduce the skin laxity? Would upper eyelid filler + temple filler be of any benefit to me?

The use of an appropriate HA filler to elevate the lateral brow accompanied by the use of couple of droplets of Botox to this area can help to create a more feminine upward and outward flare to the tails of the eyebrows and diminish the apparent redundancy of the upper eyelids. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector. Hope this helps.

I don’t think Philip is going to treat concerns about your upper eyelids. I also don’t think you need surgical intervention.
Your left upper eyelid has a double fold and the primary fold sits a bit higher than on the right side. On Most people the left eye socket sits higher in the skull than the right this typically follows with the brow sitting higher on the left, then on the right as well.
If you put your thumbs in the top of the eyesocket, you’ll notice that one may have a slightly different height than the other side.
This type of facial asymmetry is totally normal
I don’t see any significant evidence of eyelid ptosis no there is inherent asymmetry in your eyes, starting at the skeletal level.
Best,
