What would be the most appropriate? I read that upper blepharoplasty lowers the brow and I do not want that m but I am not sure it would solve the problem.

Answer: Outer browlift, upper blepharoplasty or Botox, which treatment would you suggest? A browlift, a blepharoplasty (upper) and/or Botox are not mutually exclusive procedures and in certain cases they can be done in conjunction.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 a limited photo 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.

Answer: You have ptosis and the photo doesn't show us much. We can't really give you great info about the procedures you asked about but it does appear you've got ptosis from the photo of the one eye. Have a consultation with an experience eyelid surgeon and/or ophthalmologist who WOULDN'T be performing your surgery so they are unbiased and then go from there.Best of luck!Chase Lay MD
