Heavy eyelids can be from many causes. As a professional, I only can make a judgement that is correct from better photos--otherwise it is just a guessing game and not in your best interest. Send photos with relaxed both eyes from the front.
The picture submitted is helpful, but a non animated photo would also help. It seems you would benefit from an upper blepharoplasty. Best to consult a Board Certified PS in your area to examine you and determine what is best in your case. Kind regards, Dr. H
A droopy eyelid [ptosis] is very different than excess upper eyelid skin [heavy skin fold] or a droopy eyebrow. The surgery to correct these problems are vastly different, and do not be fooled, by "all you need is to have a little skin removed". An experienced surgeon will be able to differentiate between these subtleties. An evaluation by an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastic surgeon would be ideal. Find one on ASOPRS dot org in your area. Good luck
Oculoplastic surgeons are board certified ophthalmologists who go on to do a two year fellowship in oculofacial surgery. They will be able to diagnose the basis for your concerns and develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses the basis for your issues. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a geographic directory of oculofacial surgeons in your area.
Based upon the side type or oblique facial animated view I would recommend an upper lid blepharoplasty. This can improve the excess skin and fat of your upper lids. Best to seek a few in person evaluations from boarded PSs in your area.
