Would I be a good candidate for upper blepharoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I've had a lower blepharoplasty & lower canthoplasty. I wanted to get a lateral canthoplasty done but they recommended slightly lower. Not a big fan I would want my lateral done. Just to make the eyes bigger.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery is typically performed when there is excessive skin and fat in somebody's upper eyelids. This does not appear to be the case with you. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Based on your pictures, you don’t have skin redundancy in your upper eyelids, and I don’t see the indication for an upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
You can talk to your provider to see how they feel about this procedure.
I think patients should be careful with permanent irreversible surgical procedures when the indication is not strong.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
