Asked By:CharDoll in England, United Kingdom

Hi, I am a 28 year old black female and I have swollen/ droopy eyelids that I believe are genetic because they’ve always been that way. I requested a consultation at Signature clinic in the uk for a Blepharoplasty but the doctor requested that I pinch my eye and said I didn’t have extra skin, it’s just swollen and therefore the procedure would be a waste. I was thinking of a non surgical Blepharoplasty also. Is there any procedure I can do to “flatten” my eyelid?
