40’s, no previous eyelid surgery Would I be a good candidate? Can I go home on my own or do I need an escort
Answer: Asian blepharoplasty versus traditional blepharoplasty You are a great candidate for Asian blepharoplasty. You have some excess upper eyelid skin, but also some asymmetry of your upper eyelid creases with multiple folds, especially on your left eye. It's important to seek out a surgeon specializing in Asian eyelid surgery as the crease will need to be fixated during surgery to create crisp, symmetric creases - a technique not commonly incorporated into traditional eyelid surgery.

Answer: Excellent candidate You are an excellent candidate for upper blepharoplasty, from what I can see in the photos. Formal exam and discussion would of course be necessary, but a more youthful and less fatigued appearance is easily obtainable. Typically this is done under local anesthesia only without the need for sedation. I recommend having an escort if at all possible, but under extenuating circumstances you can transport home solo after sufficient time to recover.

Answer: Perhaps with a ptosis repair. Based on your photos, your eyelids appear to be a bit droopy, and that is called ptosis. This may be the reason why you are seeing excess upper eyelid skin. I believe some skin could be removed, and repositioning of your upper eyelids may also be helpful for achieving a desired result. I hope this helps, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
