I'm unhappy with my large eyelids and was wondering if there's any kind of procedure that would give me hooded eyes? I would consider undergoing surgery for this, but if possible I would rather go down the route of fillers or some other non-surgical procedure.

Answer: You have central levator aponeurosis disinsertion and a compensatory eyebrow elevation. A structured anchor blepharoplasty with repair of the insertion of the levator aponeurosis can be performed to reconstruct the upper eyelid fold and the upper eyelid creases lowered. You will have to travel to Beverly Hills for this type of surgery. I am not aware of another surgery who offers this type of work. I personally to not like the filler treatments to build up the upper eyelid fold but that type of work is more widely available.

Answer: Deep Superior Sulcus Your photos demonstrate a deep superior sulcus creating a high lid crease and a more hollow appearance of the upper eyelid when compared to the other attached photos. Adding a hyaluronic acid filler using a cannula technique is one option to add volume to the upper eyelid filling in the superior sulcus and lowering the lid crease. This can be done incrementally over a few visits allowing you to see the results as you go. Hyaluronic acid is reversible so it is a safe option and can be done in the office with little to no downtime. Fat augmentation is a second, more permanent option but is a surgical procedure with the potential for more swelling and or bruising. Fat is less predictable and of course not easily reversible so I would recommend you try fillers first. Consulting with an oculoplastic surgeon experienced in the cannula technique is a good place to get more information on this option.
