Will removing skin only cause a sausage look on my eyelids? (Photos)
Hello. I have been covered under our medical services plan to have an upper blepheroplasty to improve my visual field due to excess skin, but I am also concerned about aesthetics, and the apperance of "hollowing". I don't feel like I have excess fat or fullness in my upper lids as it is, so I am wondering whether you feel just having the excess skin removed, and a bit of fat from my left inner nasal area is sufficient (as indicated by the Dr would be "okay"), that it won't then look like a "sausage" on my upper lid (just beneath my brows) afterwards, will it? I saw the opthamologist today, and she said that's what she'll do if I'm concerned with hollowing, but she mentioned a potential sausage look afterwards. I don't think I have that much fat in order for it to look like a sausage afterwards, do I? She said that most people opt to have some fat and muscle removed so as not to have the fullness, but I honestly can almost only feel just skin and bone right underneath my eyebrow (not fat), so I would otherwise be concerned that too much fat &/or muscle would be taken out, and I would look skeletal. I am not concerned with the look of my upper eyelids, other than the excess skin. Is doing less (just skin removal) better in my case? I am due to have surgery next Tuesday, June 16th. Pictures were taken today, June 8th, and I am 52 years old. One of both eyes are with my eyebrows raised & the other is without them raised. Your opinions are greatly appreciated!
