I'm 44, considering upper blepharoplasty and trying to understand if I would be a good candidate. The excess skin is down to my lashline and makes me look very tired.

Answer: Upper Blepharoplasty Hi Aly, Based on your photos, you would likely benefit from an upper blepharoplasty, which would help to alleviate some of the skin that rests too low. It also looks like you would need a temporal browlift, to help the area to the side of your eye and give your brows more youthful shape. Without the browlift, you may have not have as optimal of a result. Of course whether or not you're a good candidate for surgery is not just your aesthetic appearance but whether you meet health criteria for the surgery and have reasonable expectations around the result. This all is determined in a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of luck! - Dr. Cabin

Answer: Improving Hooded Eyelids -- Botox/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau for Brow Lift, Fillers, RF (Thermage, Legacy, Viva), Blepharoplasty For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.
