Interested in an upper lid blepharoplasty due to loose skin. Would this benefit me? (Photo)

Yes, an upper blepharoplasty can remove loose skin but you have deep set eyes so no fat should be removed. An alternative to consider would be a browlift. This will lower the hairline, decrease the vertical height of the forehead and pull up the eyebrows and upper eyelid skin as well.

You have a very youthful appearance in your periocular area with only a minimal amount of redundant skin in your upper eyelids. A skin only upper blephroplasty would remove your redundant upper eyelid skin, refreshing your eyes and brighten your appearance. This is usually easily done under locally anesthesia, has a quick recovery and minimal downtime. Speak with your plastic surgeon about this. Best wishes.

Loose skin of the upper eyelids is often caused by brow ptosis. There are surgical and non surgical treatments to address both brow ptosis and the loose skin. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who offer different treatment modalities to discuss which option suits you best.

I would avoid an upper eyelid blepharoplasty if I were you.
It will leave your eyes looking hollow and give you a premature, aged look.
You don’t have a significant amount of excess skin.
Take a picture of yourself with your eyes closed and you’ll see.
