Do you think I am a good candidate for upper eyelid surgery? (Photos)

Question

Also curious if you might have any other procedures to improve my apprerance. Not sure if some cheek filler or other skin tightening treatments could make sense. I am on very low dose accutane currently so I know that rules out some laser procedures.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You appear to be a good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty.  It appears you have excess skin.  Another thing I recommend is an eccentric lip lift.  An eccentric lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.  This takes 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $4,000.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
