I am 23 years old and it has been a year since I started to notice sagging in my eyelids. There is a local doctor offering plasmage as treatment I wounder if it will work for me and what are its risks ? And are there any alternatives other than blepharoplasty?

Answer: Removal of excess skin Thank you for your question. Botox would be a non surgical option to try and raise your eyebrow to make the appearance of less heaviness. If you have loose skin and puffiness then surgery would the only option to remove. Extra skin and fat on the upper eyelid can cause the eyes to feel and look tired. Taken to the extreme, the extra skin can hang so much that it can hamper your vision and cause discomfort. If you look tired when you're not, and can’t put eye shadow or mascara due to excess skin covering your eyelids, then you can benefit from upper eyelid lift or Upper Blepharoplasty.

Answer: Which treatment is best for my sagging eyelids? Thanks for your question! Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is the easiest cosmetic procedure that I perform. It is simply removal of a pinch of skin from the upper eyelid. The incision is in the crease so it is invisible when your eyelids are open and heals quickly. It is long lasting and I often see patients that had upper blepharoplasty 20 or more years previously and still have great results. Your photo suggests that you have excess skin of the upper eyelids, but a complete exam would be required to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any other issues. I am not familiar with plasmage.
