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 eyelid Thank you for your detailed message. Yes, based on what you described, an upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) alone would be sufficient to uncover your eyes and remove the excess skin resting on your lashes. However, when combined with a brow lift and a subtle cat eye effect, the overall aesthetic result can be greatly enhanced, providing a more open, youthful, and harmonious look. Of course, the decision depends on your personal goals and preferences.

Answer: Would upper eyelid surgery be enough without a brow lift? Based on your description, upper eyelid surgery alone can bring significant relief—especially if your main concern is the skin folding onto your lashes. However, when combined with a brow lift, the result is often a fresher and more awake look overall. From a cost and recovery perspective, upper blepharoplasty on its own is the more economical option. But if you’re already considering surgery, having both procedures done in the same session may offer a more comprehensive and lasting improvement with just one round of anesthesia and downtime. – Dr. Güray Yeşiladalı

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. Which can be congenital or acquired. The other issue is the excess skin of the eyelid and the descent of the skin of the upper third of the face around your eyes, which involves the position of the eyebrow, forehead, and lateral hooding. I consider that to correct these changes the ideal treatment would be an Endobrowlift (endoscopic approach for the eyebrow, and upper third of the face) to reposition the eyebrow in its ideal position and an upper blepharoplasty plus correction of the Palpebral Ptosis. I hope this helps.
