Question

Would I benefit from an upper lid blephoroplasty to remove droopiness from the upper eyelids? Will it make my eyes look more symmetrical?

Robert Singer, MD · Answer

Based on your photo but without an examination, you appear to be an excellent candidate to cosmetically improve the appearance of your eyelids with an artistically performed conservative upper lid blepharoplasty and/or limited brow elevation to improve symmetry..

Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do based on a limited  photo without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
