Excess skin above eyelids, and I was wondering if there is a natural eyelift exercise instead of surgery, to get rid of the hooded area.

Botox and fillers are also not likely to provide the degree of improvement you are looking for. When you are ready for eyelid surgery, it is critical that you understand what a surgeon is offering you. It is critical to preserve the fullness of the subbrow area. The upper eyelid fold is often removed wholesale by the eyelid surgeon. There is an alternative. The fold can be preserved with conservative removal of the upper eyelid skin. The goal should be to expose the eyelid platform and support the upper eyelid lashes. Look closely at many websites when you are ready for eyelid surgery. Be an informed consumer.

It's normal to develop excess upper eyelid skin during the normal aging process. This often results in the development of hooding deformities of the upper eyelids.When this situation arises, the excess skin needs to be removed by performing blepharoplasty surgery. Unfortunately, there are no exercises that can tighten the upper eyelid skin.If you're concerned about the appearance of your upper eyelids, it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and aesthetic goals.

If your eyebrows are well positioned, an upper blepharoplasty may be the most effective means of dealing with the appearance of hooded upper eye lid skin. Raising your forehead to make a surprised look, will temporarily alleviate some of the excess skin, but there are no exercises to reduce the visibility of excess upper eyelid skin while in repose.Hope this helps you.Dr Joseph

Unfortunately, there are no exercises that will improve your eyelid appearance. The only way to adequately address excess eyelid skin is to remove it surgically. Now, we would need to see photos to see if this is in fact a good option for you.

Hard to get a good look without photos or exam.  As of this writing there is not exercise to do to clean up the upper lids.  Best to see an experienced eyelid surgeon and get the options.

Unfortunately surgery or some type of skin resurfacing are your only options. Pictures would help to provide more specific suggestions.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

There is no exercise that will either tighten or reduce the loose skin on your upper lids. In fact, any type of exercise will likely only stretch the skin more. You really need eyelid surgery to get the improvement you seek.

Unfortunately there is no easy exercise to try and reduce excess skin of the upper eyelids. Sometimes a subtle amount of Botox and Filler can help to slightly lift the tail of the brow. The majority of times, the excess skin needs to be excised with upper eyelid surgery which can often be done in a short procedure under local anesthesia.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

There are no exercises to help with loose eyelid skin or lateral hooding secondary to brow descent. A physical exam with a board certified plastic surgeon would be necessary to determine what could be done. Certain patients may be candidates for Botox to give a bit of brow lift that can reduce lateral hooding, without surgery. Many patients may need eyelid surgery and brow lift to correct the area.

George John Alexander, MD, FACS · Answer

There are no exercises that remove skin.  Only surgery can remove excess skin. Consider a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to review your options.
