Answer: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty A conservative upper blepharoplasty would work well to increase the upper eyelid visibility. Alternatives are non-invasive skin tightening, which can also be helpful. In my office we use Exilis Elite, a radiofrequency devixe, to achieve this result.

Answer: Minimal upper blepharoplasty You may benefit from an upper blepharoplasty, but a personal evaluation would be necessary to determine that. This surgery can easily be performed in the office using local anesthetic and the sutures are removed in 3-5 days so downtime is minimal. Non-surgical options would include Botox to try to lift the brow a little or you could consider Ultherapy which a micro-focused ultrasound device that can lift brows and make the eyelids look better.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Answer: Mini Blepharoplasty A blepharoplasty is done to remove or reposition the tissue around the eyes to improve the way they look. This can involve removing excess eyelid skin, removing or repositioning the underlying orbital fat, and possibly tightening or repositioning the lid margin.
