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.
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.
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.

Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Botox works as a neuromodulator to smooth out dynamic wrinkles created by the movement of facial muscles. While it can "lift" the brow temporally a mild amount, you do have some excess skin and a degree of brow ptosis that Botox alone would not correct. Blepharoplasty in combination with a...
Based on your photos it does appear that the medial aspect of your left supratarsal crease lacks a firm connection to the underlying levator/tarsus. A revision upper blepharoplasty to re-establish and anchor the crease should allow for a lower and more symmetric crease to form.
Crows feet are not affected by blepharoplasty. They are caused by muscle movement, so they are treated with Botox injection. Extra skin and fat is removed with blepharoplasty, making the lids themselves look better. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.
