Had upper bleph 6 months ago, and my eyes still look tired and droopy. How can I make my eyes bigger?

Asked By:Sunny8594 in Georgia, GA

24 y/o with genetically hooded eyelids, and I had an upper blepharoplasty this past December to awaken my eyes. I am unhappy with the results, as I feel I still look tired. I’ve been told (before surgery was performed) that I had minor ptosis but it was better to be left alone for the time. Do you think I could have good results with a ptosis repair? Also, would more skin taken off look “too done”? Thank you for any help, doctors.

Answer: It was absurd to have the upper blepharoplasty without having the ptosis addressed.
