I have been thinking about upper eyelid surgery but then I am wondering whether it will be enough to open my eyes? I have very obvious extra skin on my eyelashes and a having a lower set brow does not bother me personally, as long my eyes are not covered by the skin. Can I do well just with the eyelid surgery (which is faster and less costly)?
Answer: Upper Bleph You will benefit with just an upper bleph. It will open your eyes. However it also look as though you need a brow lift as well. You may want to start with just the upper bleph and see how it looks and then decide if you think you need the brow lift. Make sure you consult a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Upper bleph Thanks for your question! I do think that you could get by with just the upper bleph. You could always come back and do the brow lift at another time if it still bothers you. Good luck!

Answer: PERIORBITAL REJUVENATION Hello, my main question for you would be: When did you notice that your upper eyelids are getting heavier? There are 2 important issues here; first; the ideal opening of the upper eyelid should be to the level of the upper edge of the iris. From what can be seen in your photo, the edge of the eyelashes of your upper eyelids do not rise fully and one of them is almost at the level of the pupil. If this is the case, we are talking about Palpebral Ptosis. This is a condition in which your upper eyelid droops, sags or falls over your eye. It usually happens because your levator muscle — the muscle that lifts your eyelid — doesn't work as it should. The condition can limit your vision or block it completely, depending on how much your lid droops.

Answer: Upper blepharoplasty with or without browlift - lid ptosis thank you for posting your question. Based on your picture an upper blepharoplasty alone will already give you a nice improvement. Sometimes an internal browpexy can be performed to maintain brow position. An internal browpexy is done through the same incision of the upper eyelid surgery. In some cases this is truly beneficial since the removal of excess upper eyelid skin may pull the brow downwards to some degree. But this is something that would need to be discussed and examined during an in person consultation. Based on your picture it seems there is at least on the left side a lid ptosis. This should be corrected at the same time with your upper blepharoplasty. You may have one on the right as well, but the left side seems to be more evident. Correcting lid ptosis (levator advancement) can be performed through the same incision of your blepahroplasty. Lid ptosis correction is really crucial, if existent, otherwise the outcome of a blepharoplasty is aesthetically limited. I think when attention is paid to these subtle changes the results appear most natural and beautiful. The eye region plays an important role on perceived emotions by others. We published an article on that topic. It is easy to understand. You'll find it on my website, if you are interested.

Answer: Only blepharoplasty isn't solition Hello, I am Dr. Cemil Işık. You have significant excess skin and fat hernia on your upper eyelids. This has affected your field of vision. Therefore, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is necessary. However, the distance between your eyebrows and eyelashes is quite short. Therefore brow lift is necessary. Also, your forehead height is high. Forehead reduction can also solve these problems.
