Hello, my upper eyelid irritated me, i think i have too much fat and my upper eyelid is not good visible. I have considered a eyelid surgery, maar i think that my eyelid isn't hanging enough for that treatment. Im doubting between an eyebrowlift and plexr. Which is better for a good result? I want my upper eyelid to be visible.
Answer: Upper eyelid plexr vs surgery Plexr is very good for tightening excess eyelid skin to give a visible upper eyelid platform. Generally patients with thin crepey skin get good results with 2-3 treatments. However patients with thick skin require more than 3 treatments. The advantage of Plexr if that it gives very natural results without affecting the blink or leaving a scar, however can be an uncomfortable procedure with a couple of week downtime after each treatment.

Answer: It is critical to understand that a consultation is needed in order to advise you. I look at your photos and wonder if you have upper eyelid retraction. Plexr is one of these propriety skin shrinking treatments that only treats skin. There is no long term information about how successful the treatment is. We only have information about the service from folks who do not perform surgery and information available from the internets is dominated by folks looking to make money off of the service-nothing independent including no consumer feed back. That means you can consider this treatment experimental. These types of services do not have the power to address deeper structure issues. I think at a minimum you need to be assessed for upper eyelid retraction. If you have, this can stimulate the brow to relax leaving the upper eyelid fold resting on the eyelid platform. If you do not have upper eyelid retraction, I encourage you to think about structured microblepharoplasty which preserves the natural upper eyelid fold but cleans up the upper eyelid fold while preserve what is wonderful about your youthful fullness.

Answer: Extra skin/fat on upper eyelid Thank you for sharing your question. It appears that you require conservative blepharoplasty to treat your problem. You might benefit (temporarily) with Botox injections about the outer brows to elevate them which might pull up on this skin for a few months. See an experienced, conservative eyelid surgeon for detailed evaluation. Good luck,

Answer: Your only option is surgery Only way to achieve your stated goal is having upper eyelid blepharoplasty. That is a surgery. You do not need eyebrow surgery. Plexr is ineffective and waste of time and money.
