I'd like to remove a small amount of skin to show more eyelid platform. Can this be easily accomplished? What is the recovery time? And are there any non-surgical alternatives?

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. Your pictures demonstrate a small excess skin of the upper lid. A conservative upper lid lift can help to open the eyes and eliminate some of the heaviness. This can be done in the office under local for a reasonable cost and with a quick recovery. See the link below for more information. A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.
