You appear to have hooded upper eyelids and may benefit from upper blepharoplasty.

Epicanthal folds are important to take that into consideration.

The eyelid crease can also be managed if you desire.

See an expert for an evaluation.

You appear to be a good candidate for upper blepharoplasty but too young for brow lift which you don't need. See an expert.

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

The skin which is sitting on your upper eyelash line could be easily taken care of with an upper blepharoplasty performed under only local anesthesia, if you are comfortable doing so.  The procedure would only address the redundant skin, but maintain all of your youthful volume and contours around your eyes. The incision line is very well hidden and camouflaged in the natural crease of your upper eyelid.  Downtime is minimal and recovery is very rapid.  This should help you permanently resolve this issue. Have a detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Thank you for posting your question here !My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided, for a detailed and bespoke plan please consult with your plastic surgeon.
I am sorry that you are having to deal with those issues , it is hard to tell exactly what the issue is based on the singular picture provided , but when you consult with your surgeon in person they will likely assess you to see if you require a brow lift ( the fact that you mentioned that you are having uneven brows), or a blepharoplasty or even both. Whatever the case is you will likely notice significant improvement once the issue has been addressed.I hope this helps, best of luck!

Your photograph is somewhat limited but you appear to benefit from an upper blepharoplasty.
