As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

From your photo it appears you may have the best result from a combination of procedures.  A brow lift will lift your brows and position them more symmetrically.  An upper blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and give you a more refreshed look.  I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

The appearance of the lids depends on the lid height, amount of skin above the lid, and brow position. Typically a combination of eyelid and brow surgery can bring back the symmetry to the lids. Best to see an eyelid expert in your area.
