My upper eyelids are often quite puffy in the morning and remain somewhat puffy throughout the day. Today was particularly bad. Is there anything I can do to treat this without surgery? Like diet or topical solutions? Or what surgery do you recommend?
Answer: Dermatochalasis and maybe browptosis? If you're against surgery at all costs, laser will tighten the skin for some time and is easy to do and recover from. Otherwise manually elevate your brow and if its not giving you the deer in the headlight look and you like how your lids are better creased and your eyes more alert looking, then you could benefit from a browlift.

Answer: Puffy upper eyelids Surgery will be needed but what surgery? Merely removing skin and fat may not work out to your advantage. A careful analysis utilizing life size photographs and comparison to photographs from you youth will be helpful. A visit with your primary care to rule out underlying thyroid or metabolic issues is a good start. You have considerable asymmetry and a lot of what you are seeing is the result of fat atrophy. Board certified plastic and facial plastic surgeons would equally be able to assess this for you. Choose based on the results he or she can show you with similar cases to your own.
