My eyes are quite hooded and I often appear tired or upset I feel just because of their appearance. I also often have a tough time wearing eye makeup. Would I benefit from an upper blepharoplasty? Would this change the shape of my eyes in a dramatic way or just help to make me look less tired? Thank you for your advice.
Answer: We can tell you that you are beautiful and don't need surgery until we are blue in the face. Technically microblepharoplasty is useful to correct the upper fold resting on the eyelid platform. You show a very uniform upper eyelid platform. If these photographs accurately capture your appearance, surgery is not indicated. It is essential for you to understand that upper blepharoplasty removed upper eyelid fold. If this is done aggressively, it will destroy your beauty and essential youthful aesthetic. Similarly you nose is beautiful. Can you find a surgeon who will offer you surgery? I assure you that if you knock on enough doors, someone will operate on you. Because of how attractive you are, it is overwhelmingly likely that surgery will harm you rather than help you. A better question is what is motivating you to consider surgery? Are you embarrassed about your appearance? Do you find yourself thinking about these issues many hours a day? Are you avoiding social situations because you think people are making jokes about your appearance? These are signs of a psychological condition called body dysmorphic disorder. Working with a psychologist can help you gain insight about you thoughts.

Answer: Blepheroplasty or not Thank you for the question and picture.I would not recommend a blepheroplasty for you. Your upper lids are full and there is a well defined upper lid tarsal fold. Both of these features are desirable and a sign of youth.In your age group I would talk to you about Botox if you have not tried it yet. I would offer you a dynamic injection to elevate the brow.Talk to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area.Best regards Nagi T Ayoub MD, FACS

Answer: Subtle blepharoplasty Blepharoplasty can be done at the were very early stages of eyelid aging. In this case only a small amount of skin can be removed and that was open up the eyes making it easy to apply the eyelid makeup and the eyes appear larger and brighter.The other option would be to try Thermismooth treatments that will tighten the skin and might give a similar affect without any surgery.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Could I benefit from an upper blepharoplasty as a 30 year old? Age alone is not a major determinant in whether a patient will benefit from upper eyelid surgery. However, based on your photos, in which your eyes appear to be quite attractive, I do feel that you would benefit from a blepharoplasty at this time.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, california
