Answer: How can I correct very thick eyelids through surgery? Hello Jaredholliss,If your eyelids are heavy because of excess skin or a heavy brow, an upper blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or possibly a brow lift would help this. To determine the better option a different set of photos or an in person evaluation would be needed. There is another issue which can lead to heavy eyelids. This is called ptosis which means a droopy eyelid. There are many causes for this, but if ptosis is the problem, that makes the treatment a little more complicated. What I would recommend is an in person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon. This way an in person analysis can be performed and determined what is the best treatment for you based on your anatomy.I hope this helps and good luck.
