Will upper eyelid surgery make me look worse?

Asked By:User124496 in New York, NY

I’m only 24 but scheduled an upper lid surgery. I’ve always had extra skin that covers a portion of my eyes. I tried Botox a couple times,and didn’t notice a difference. It seems to run in my family but I’m worried about what I’ll look like after,as I was told by one doctor I needed a brow lift but two others told me I did not and that due to my higher hairline, I wouldn’t be a good candidate for it anyways
