I want to get rid of the drooping in the outer corners of my eyes. What procedure would correct this? (Photo)

In these pictures you have excess skin of the upper lids which can be removed with an upper lid blepharoplasty.  You may also benefit from a temporal browlift which will help to elevate the outer corner of the brow which looks low.  This can also help with the crow's feet.  See an oculoplastic surgeon who can help you decide what would be the best approach for you.     

I will post the usual caveats that it is virtually  impossible to specifically comment on an individual's situation without an in-person consultation.  In general terms, though,  it is very common for women after age 35 or so to start exhibiting a drooping of their outer or lateral brow.  This produces some sagging of the tissues that is further compounded by an increasing upper eyelid skin redundancy.  In most of like situations I have taken care of the patient is best served by performing both an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and a lateral brow lift. The exact design of incisions is dependent on the individual's anatomy.  The results are usually a predictable improvement.  I am actually lecturing on this in Las Vegas in a few weeks!Seek the care of a qualified practitioner you trust.Good luck!Fred G.

Kissangel.  Hello neighbor!  thank you for the question and photograph.  A thorough examination and consultation are necessary to best address your concerns.  Multiple modalities can be utilized both surgical and non- surgical.  These are best discussed during a consultation.  It appears you are bothered by the crow's feet area. This is related to  a gravitational pull and deflation of your eyebrow and loss of volume in this area.  Treatments as minimally invasive as Botox and filler ( juvederm or Bellafill) can help correct.  Long term corrections like an endoscopic brow lift could be in order as well.  I am just a hop skip and a jump from your home.  Please call Laney at 586-254-7692 and tell her we met on realself. It would be my pleaseure to speak with you in my world calss spa in Sterling heights, Accents Cosmetic Surgery and medical spa.

The two procedures you should consider are upper blepharoplasty (that will take care of the extra skin on the upper eyelid) and a browlift (that will raise the outside of your brow and open the outside of your eye).  Both can be done at the same time, but you need to understand the limitations of each.  Get a few opinions for various surgeons.  I would consult with either a plastic surgeon who is a member of ASAPS or a facial plastic surgeon who has done a fellowship in facial aesthetic surgery.  Upper blepharoplasty is a simple surgery with a short recovery, but may not fully address what you are looking for.  Good luck!

The aesthetic brow has a club end nasally with the arch between the outside of the iris of the eye and the lateral juncture of the upper and lower eyelids.The tail of the brow  should be at the same level as the club. (parallel to the floor). Because the muscles that close the eyes are stronger than the elevator of the brow, we all get a narrower appearance through the eyes as we age. (especially when exposed to prolonged bright sunlight, wince when we read, or smile a lot!)While removing a pinch of skin above the eyelid cures most people, evaluating the brow position first is important. If  the brow is depressed laterally as yours appears to be, elevating the brow first "sets" the brow aesthetically and makes sure that the correct amount of skin is removed from the eyelid. If you do the eyelids first, it may limit the amount of brow elevation that is possible in the future, if you ever decide that a browlift is necessary. (Because you may not have enough skin to close your eyelids if it has all been removed previously, to adequately elevate the brow).John Standefer MD

The drooping of the outer corner of your eyes is caused primarily by the weight of upper eyelid skin and from the tail of the brow. An upper blepharoplasty combined with a temporal browlift is the most assured combianrtion of procedures to provide a complete elimination of this issue.

You may benefit from an in person evaluation by a board certified surgeon with expertise in eyelid rejuvenation.

Thank you for your question. I believe that the previous answers address the condition quite well. As we age we think of the lower face as being an area of primary concern as wrinkles and excess skin develop. However, the forehead and brow areas are also exposed to the ravages of time. Your brow position appears slightly lower than normal and can result in a tired or sad look. Although eyelid surgery alone may improve this condition, a brow lift will improve this even more. Next time you go to the mirror just simply raise your eyebrows and you will notice an improvement in the youthfulness and appearance of your face. I would caution you, however, that eyelid surgery alone, especially if overdone, may compromise the ability to perform a brow lift in the future should you decide this course of action. I hope this helps and have a wonderful day. Dr Kayser - Saint Clair Shores
