Do I have enough forehead? I was born with hooded eyes and brows that sit low on my face, I know it'll only get worse with age. I've seen recommendations here for people to get a blephoplasty, I'm not sure if I'd need something more. I want excess eyelid removed and brows raised to increase lid area. Do I have enough forehead to work with for this without making it very tiny? What surgeries would I need? I'm also looking into filling my tear trough, something I was born with as well.
Answer: Conservative nonsurgical procedures for young person You are too young for surgical brow lift. Lower brow position are good at your age. You may consider chemical brow lift with botox. In regards to under eye area, you can benefit from conservative filler injection. See following video and link.

Answer: Hooded eyes and heavy brows at 23. Options to get rid of excess skin and raise brows? You have youthful fullness of your upper eyelids. I think that your eyes are beautiful and I wouldn't recommend any surgical procedure at this time. If you're interested in raising her eyebrows, you could consider having Botox placed on the outside of your eye. This is the area where crows feet develop and relaxing this muscle raises the brow. The results should last 3-4 months, but may give you the lift that you're looking for.

Answer: You definitely have options. You could have just upper eyelid surgery which will expose the eyelid platform, and support the upper eyelid lashes. This would help maintain the full subbrow area and prevents skeletonization of the eye. An endoscopic forehead lift is an alternate approach that lifts the brow and also help the hooding. It is key that less is more with these procedures. I would not recommend a look as severe as you accomplish with pulling your hair back. The under eye area will respond beautifully to under eye fillers. This requires expertise and an artful eye. I recommend starting with the under eye filler service.

Answer: Hooded eyes and heavy brows at 23. Options to get rid of excess skin and raise brows? Fullness of the upper lids can be cosmetically improved with a number of surgical options depending on individual anatomy and desired outcome: an artistically performed conservative upper blepharoplasty, a repositioning of the brow if it is low, or a combination of both. There are multiple options available for a patient with your anatomy: Upper lid blepharoplasty alone, endoscopic brow lift, limited lateral brow lift, forehead lift, neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport, hyaluronic fillers, or a combination of procedures. There is no one best option. It depends on your desired outcome and understanding of the pros and cons of the various procedures. It is important to realize that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Facial rejuvenation needs to be individualized. What would be an ideal approach for one patient is not necessarily the same for someone else. Based on the examination and discussion at the consultation, you should have a better understanding of the various options that can achieve the best cosmetic result for you.
