My upper eyelids are really droopy and exposed. Can surgery fix this? Is it worth it?
Answer: Upper Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift Would Make A Significant Difference Based on this single photo it does seem like you would benefit from an upper blepharoplasty and brow lift procedure. Your eyelids appear heavy for your otherwise youthful face. You may also have a component of eyelid ptosis (dysfunction of the eyelid muscles). In general I think eyelid surgeries are the "best bang for your buck" when it comes to improving facial aesthetics at a minimal price and short recovery. You should discuss your care with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who will be able to provide more information. If you are ever in Arizona I would be happy to see you. Thank you for your question!

Answer: Non-Surgical Chemical Brow Lift for Eyelid Rejuvenation -- add Ultherapy, Thread Lifting, RF Skin Tightening, Laser Treatments As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Ptosis You have ptosis of the upper eyelids, so you see more of the lid than you would like. You can do surgery to fix the ptosis, and this will decrease the amount of lid you see. There are also drops that you can use to elevate the lid, but you have to use these twice a day.
