Am I a good candidate for upper eyelid surgery? (Photo)

dainelisleyvaSep 27, 2023

Hello, I'm currently in my late twenties, specifically 29 years old, and I'm considering getting a surgery known as upper eyelid surgery. I'm wondering if this procedure will have any noticeable benefits for me. The main reason I'm interested in this surgery is to enhance and improve the overall appearance of my eyes, aiming for a more lively and rejuvenated look. I want to mention that in 2021, I had a surgery called a craniotomy to remove a non-cancerous brain tumor.

In most patients undergoing eyelid surgery, in particulat lower eyelids, 11-12 months is enough time to completely heal. However, in small number of patients, swelling, redness, thightness, and other signs of inflamation (that is part of healing process), may last much longer. It seems to be...

I would recommend a browlift. Your eyebrows are below the level of the orbital rim and they should be higher. Also, your hairline is quite high. You can have a frontal hairline incision to bring the hairline lower, make you look younger, decrease the width of the forehead and put the eyebrows...

You have a condition called strabismus where the eyes don’t align properly. You need to see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) to help you. Often people with strabismus have double vision. Surgery can be performed by a strabismus surgeon to help align the eyes if needed.
