Since being made aware that upper eyelid exposure is a 'thing', it's started making me very self-conscious! I've seen similar posts regarding ptosis of the upper eyelid, though I'm not sure this is the case as I've always had big eyelids. A narrower upper eyelid would make the amount of eye visible too much and would look worse. So my question is, what would be the best route to achieving the 'manly hunter eye' shape or is it just not in my genetics? Thanks
Answer: Fillers Can Diminish Upper Eyelid Hollows You appear to have bilateral ptosis of the lids as well as hollowing of the upper eyelid regions, which contributes to the obvious upper lid exposure present in the photos. The use of a filler, such as Belotero Balance, to diminish the upper eyelid hollows may be the simplest, least aggressive, nonsurgical technique for improving the overall appearance of the region. This approach would also not affect in any way the amount of eye visible. Make sure you seek consultation and treatment by a board certified aesthetic physician. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Ptosis and hollow eyelids Thank you for sharing your question and photo. You have bilateral ptosis (drooping eyelids) and deep sulcus (hollowing). Ptosis repair followed by injection of dermal fillers is the best treatment option for you. See and experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of treatment options. Good luck,

Answer: Long-deep upper eyelids due to eyelid ptosis and some hollowness You have upper eyelid ptosis or droopy upper eyelids and hence eyelid ptosis surgery can improve the problem you are describing. Another contributing factor is relative hollowness in the upper eyelids/brows, which can be improved with filler or fat injection. See an oculoplastic specialist.

Answer: Upper eyelid ptosis Thank you for your question. Based on the photo provided, there is ptosis (droopiness) of the upper eyelids, left eyelid greater than the right. Your lower eyelids are also set slightly lower, whereby the "white" part of the eye is visible directly beneath the iris (i.e. scleral show). These findings are part of your genetics. Consult with an eyelid specialist for a comprehensive exam and to determine the best surgical and non-surgical treatment options to help meet your goals. Best wishes.

Answer: Ptosis, deep superior sulcus, inferior scleral show Ptosis repair will reveal more of the eyeball, but will have several beneficial effects: 1) place the eyelid margins in a normal position, 2) advance natural preaponeurotic fat pads into the deep superior sulcus, 3) reduce the visibility of the tarsal platform if creases are properly placed. If the lateral canthus is elevated at the same time (or later), the inferior scleral show could be reduced or eliminated (this would cover more of the lower part of the eyeball. An oculoplastic surgeon could evaluate and guide you with these options. Best wishes with your decision.
