Eyelids have always been slightly hooded, with left side more pronounced. Have gotten worse in recent years.
Answer: Droopy eyelids It is difficult to determine from your photo, but you appear to have brow ptosis (sagging) greater on the left side than the right. You may also have some excess upper eyelid skin in addition. You should be evaluated by an experienced facial plastic or oculoplastic surgeon to be evaluated and discuss your treatment options.

Answer: Very few people need a forehead lift. I suspect you can have a personalized blepharoplasty possibly including a ptosis correction and do very well. Look for a surgeon who takes an individual approach and does not do cookie cutter surgery. The potential surgeon needs to spend time examining you. If the consultation takes 5 minutes, you are in the wrong office.

Answer: Brow ptosis and dermatochalasis Not a great photo, but looks like you have extra skin which could be removed with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. You also have a lower brow on the left which makes this side appear worse. So would need to lift at least the left brow as well.

Answer: Droopy Eyelids This is a good question. When eyelids have extra skin, the procedure that is needed is a Eyelid Lift, or a Blepharoplasty. This is a surgical procedure that is relatively simple to remove the skin and fat from the upper eyelid. I like to refer to it as easy as going to the dentist. It is performed under local anesthesia and the down time is minimal. It refreshes your face and takes away that tired eye look. After training with Dr. Henry Baylis (the founder of the Jules Stein Institute), I perform revision eyelid surgery. It is important that eyelid surgery be performed correctly the 1st time. This area of the body does not do well with revisionary surgery. Therefore, do it right the 1st time. Also, if your lids are droopy, you may need a muscle repair which is considered Ptosis repair surgery. This is a repair of the actual muscle. I hope this helps. Proceed carefully and make sure the right procedure is performed. Thank you.

Answer: Eyelid surgery Let's start with the upper lids, what happened as we get older is the brow descends. This often gives us the illusion that there is extra skin in the upper lid. Most often I recommend an endoscopic brow lift to raise the lateral portion of the brow and correct this hooding before we do anything to the upper lids. This is done through for small incisions back in the hairline using high definition cameras.
