Hooded eyes and heavy brows at 23. Options to get rid of excess skin and raise brows? (photos)

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.

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.

yes an endoscopic brow lift will kill many birds with one stone. However your eyes look beautiful-- wait until you need it. When you do you see a very experienced brow lift surgeon and do not have an upper lid blepharoplasty. 

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.

I would consider doing some well-placed units of Botox to start. If you want something more permanent, consider doing a surgical brow lift. 

Thank you for your photos. You have beautiful eyes and naturally lower brow position. This can still be a stunning look similar to Brooke Shields. If you are considering higher brows, you can do this conservatively at first with Botox which is temporary but scarless with no downtime, or you can undergo a surgical/endoscopic brow lift which places small scars behind your hairline to help lift your brow but has downtime while you recover. Lifting your brow to tightly may give you a surprised and unnatural look. Extra eyelid skin can be removed from the upper eyelid as well but this has to be adjusted accordingly with your browlift. Remember, less is more. Finally tear troughs can be treated very well with hyaluronic acid filler placed into the right plane to prevent a puffy look when smiling. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery

Hi there, Thank you for your photo and questions. First of all, let me say you have beautiful eyes and even if you decide not to pursue surgery, your eyes will definitely stand out and be attractive. Now having said that, you do have brows that naturally seat low and are positioned just below the rim of your orbit. You can consider doing a brow lift which would open your eyes  up. I would recommend an endoscopic forehead lift, so the height of your forehead is not a concern. I do think with a browlift you would be a positive change. Personally, I would recommend aiming a little lower than the photo you posted with your hair pulled (I believe you could risk looking surprised). For your tear trough, a filler injection would be effective. I would recommend scheduling some in office consultations with surgeons. Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

The two photographs do not even appear to be the same person, and each one of those two photographs would get different recommendations. It's best to have in-person consultation to look at both static and dynamic issues with the forehead. The most conservative treatment would be Botox.

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.
