Thank you got posting this question and the excellent photos. I can see what you are saying about early aging showing on your eyes. the biggest issue I see is that the eyebrows are descended and a bit low. My recommendation would be to avoid surgery at this time in favor of skilled, well placed botox to relax the brow depressor muscles which will do 2 things: 1) Your eyes will look happier overall and 2) the upper eyelid skin will be elevated just enough to not make them look droopy. Do not put any botox in the forehead so that your eyebrow elevation muscles (frontalis) is still working and you will get a nice natural looking browlift for about 3 months. This should hold you over, looking less aged, with minimal risk for several years. Best of luck!

Thank you for the question and photos and you appear to be a candidate for a brow lift rather then blepharoplasty.  So go on some complimentary consultations with experts and compare recommendations after a full examination and discussion of desired results and look at photos of similar patients and become fully informed about the desired procedure
