  Thank you for your question.  While doctors trained in facial plastic surgery and general plastic surgery can do wonderful cosmetic eyelid procedures, no one would disagree with the fact that oculoplastic surgeons have the greatest knowledge of eyelid anatomy and the greatest experience with eyelid surgery and procedures.  I am not 100% certain but I believe that Florida has more fully trained oculoplastic surgeons and members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) than any other state with the possible  exception of California.  Therefore, we are blessed with a large number of excellent oculoplastic surgeons.  I agree with the suggestion that you look for an experienced oculoplastic surgeon in your area who can answer your questions, address your concerns, and with whom you feel comfortable.  

There are several excellent oculoplastic surgeons in Florida.  You can check with the ASOPRS site which will give you a listing of the surgeons who have completed an approved fellowship in ophthalmic plastic surgery, and have also passed their written and oral boards in this subspecialty.  You can then have consultations to see who you would like to have do your surgery.  From the photo you have posted, it should be quite straight forward. 

You live in a state with some excellent oculoplastic surgeons.  However, so much does boil down to your personal relationship with the particular surgeon.  I suggest doing your homework and visiting several of the top oculoplastic surgeons.  Just because someone enjoys an excellent reputation, it does not make that surgeon necessarily right for you.  Are you comfortable with the office, did the surgeon perform a detailed consultation, did they speak with you at length and answered all of your questions, are you comfortable with the office policies.  All of these things are important issues.

A thorough examination and consultation is required to make any determination about what is required. The decision to perform skin removal on the lower lids is performed at rest, not upon animation. In our practice, we perform a pinch technique removal of excess skin and close the incision at the lash line with tissue glue.  When fat is present in the lower lids, it is removed from a internal approach also noticed a trans-conjunctival incision

You appear to have normal aging of the eyes and should be a straightforward blepharoplasty for a board certified plastic surgeon.  There are many to choose from in the Tampa area.Good luck in your search!
