How to get rid excess skin or fat on eyelids that does not require surgery? (photos)

Question

I am born with monolid and slightly puffy eyes. It's difficult for me to open my eyes wide without having to stretch my forehead muscle.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photographs. You appear to require minimal Blepharoplasty to give the appearance you desire. Make an appointment for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options with an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon who is very familiar with the treatment of Asian eyelids.Good luck,

Your concerns can be best addressed with surgery.  However if you're not willing to undergo a surgical procedure you can use eyelid tape or fiber to achieve a temporary double eyelid.

Hi and thanks for the photos and your question.  Based on your photos, you seem to be a good candidate for Asian double eyelid.  However, in order to perform Asian double eyelid, surgery is required to remove any excess fat or skin. Please consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience in performing Asian double eyelid surgery.  Best wishes!

hi,
based on your description of difficulty opening your eyes wide without stretching your forehead muscle, describes upper eyelid ptosis but on your picture you do not appear to have ptosis.  you don't appear to have excess skin but to remove skin or fat, you have to create an Asian double eyelid.  it is impossible to do without surgery.  hope this helps.
