I Have Droopy Eyelids, What Can I Do? I Do Not Want to Have a Surgery Yet. Laser Will Work? (photo)

Hi mel67-

If you are referring to the excess skin of the upper eyelid, I do not believe you have any good non-surgical options. The surgical procedure would remove the  excess skin and the recovery is relatively quick. Good Luck.

Surgery to remove the excess skin on your upper eyelids (blepharoplasty) is my first recommendation.  It is a fairly simple surgery with minimal downtime and it will you give you a nice refreshing, younger look to your eyes. While my intial recommendation is surgery,  I do want to respond to your request for non-surgical options.  We have found two treatments to be beneficial for individuals just like you, who are not quite ready to undergo surgery.  Ultherapy is a new type of non-surgical, non-invasive procedure for the face that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin.  Another option is Nuface Trinity: It’s completely non-invasive, FDA-cleared device, and all treatments can be done from the comfort of your home.
