Answer: Upper Eyelids You would likely benefit from an upper lid blepharoplasty and endoscopic browlift. This would remove some excess skin from the upper lids and also raise the brows. You need an in person consultation for a definitive plan.

Answer: You better be oh so careful about this. If you ask for a blepharoplasty, that is precisely what you will get. Your surgeon will most likely chop off your upper eyelid fold not repair the inner eyelid (part with the actual eyelashes). Generally surgeons think their job is to remove "extra" skin: go big or go home. You think you know what you are getting until a couple of days after surgery, you realize that your outie eyelid is now an innie eyelid. Don't let this happen to you. It is one thing to do a thoughtful blepharoplasty to clean up the eyelid and make the fold more trim to allow more platform show. It is another thing to skeletonize the upper eyelid fold by removing it all together. If you think that sounds extreme, it happens all too often. Don't let that happen to you. Also, blepharoplasty does not fix ptosis-heavy inner eyelid. That is an entirely different surgery that a blepharoplasty. I routinely perform ptosis surgery and blepharoplasty at the same time. There is no substitute for an in person assessment. Your eyes can be your best feature.
