I can pretty much wait for the upper lids. 7 years I was in an accident where I had fractured my skull in 2 areas and had bleeding on my brain. I had a black eye caused by that fall so sometimes it fills up with liquid and sometimes not. But of course, when I touch it it feels like a popped blister. Just wrinkled. It's ugly. Especially when I put my make up on. Now!! A year and half prior then that I had a car accident and I have the same thing. What can I do?

Answer: Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty Thank you for your question. It is very common to perform an upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time, assuming that a patient is a candidate for both. Advantages to having these procedures performed at the same time include: one recovery and downtime, one time requiring anesthesia, and only taking time off from work once. From the information and history you provided as well as the photos that you included, you appear to be a good candidate for both an upper and lower blepharoplasty. A lower blepharoplasty would help to address the bags of the lower lids and an upper blepharoplasty would address the hooding of the upper lids.I would encourage you to seek an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is well-experienced in blepharoplasty procedures. From the photos that you provided, it appears as though you have more lift and mobility of the left eyebrow, which would be important to evaluate in person. At the time of your consultation appointment your concerns and goals can be best addressed and your candidacy for either an upper or lower blepharoplasty can be best determined. I hope you find this helpful and I wish you the best.
