Asked By:clippingclackingtoenails in New York City, NY

My eyelids are not drooping, but my upper eyelids have always covered my eyes a lot. I would like to reduce my upper eyelids so that more of my eyes show. Am I candidate for ptosis surgery? Would it work to accomplish my goal? The first photo is of my eyes while smiling today. I made a sample mock-up in the 2nd photo of directionally how I'd like my eyes to look while smiling. The 3rd photo is how my eyes look like in neutral position.
