Would eyelid surgery help correct my slight ptosis and deliver a less hooded look? (photo)

Question

Currently photo shows slight ptosis from Botox but would i benefit from eyelid surgery? Ultimately, I would like a little less hooded eyes.

Hello !

Based on your pictures, it looks like you could benefit from an upper blepharoplasty. It would correct your ptosis.

I recommend to consult with a skilled board certified plastic surgeon.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I see from the photo you have lots of extra saggy skin above your both eyes and the eye area is downward. For a better, fresh, upward looking I suggest you upper eyelid blepharoplasty and endoscopic brow lift. If you can provide photos with better lightning, from side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation.Best Regards!

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

As you can see from the photo, I can see your sleepy eyes that you already mentioned! I would like to recommend ptosis correction but after the surgery, the double eyelid could be thinner than now. So if you want to keep the height of crease then better to get double eyelid surgery as well! If you have further questions then please let me know. Thank you:)
