Would eyelid surgery be suitable for me? (photos)

C
Compassionate535794Jan 4, 2022

My face looks young as I'm 33 years old but there are a few issues that bother me. One would be the upper eyelid ptosis, which I don't know if fixing it would create more under brow space also obtaining a deeper set eyes look, help with the little excess skin I have and eyes asymmetry. The second would be the lack of volume in the under eye area. Is there a risk for the ptosis surgery to make my eyes look prominent? Would I benefit from canthoplasty? I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations.

I believe that PRF PRO to the under eyes would be a good temporary and non-invasive procedure to help with lessening the appearance of hollowing in the under eyes. This result can last around 3-4 months, however, results vary. Notably, this will give you a chance to determine if you like the...

It appears you have right upper lid ptosis that makes the eyes look asymmetric. This can be fixed with surgery. Best to see an eyelid expert in your area.

Left eye is higher than my right and I have a lower/longer eyelid. How can I fix asymmetrical eyes? (photos)

You have a slight amount of ptosis of your left upper eyelid. This creates a longer platform (tarsal platform show) which makes the eyes look asymmetric. This can be fixed surgically by tightening the muscle that raises the eyelid. Best to see an eyelid expert in your area.
