Eyelid recommendation for small beady eyes? (photo)

Question

I have always been concerned about the size of my eyes and the tired look that I always have. I am not sure if I have ptosis in both eyes? Would I need upper and lower Blephoraplasty or just ptosis repair in both eyes or what do you recommend? I have asked a similar question years ago, but here are updated better pictures. (Both with and without make up) Thanks for any response.

I looks like you have ptosis in both eyes by how much of your iris your upper eyelids cover.  I think you would do really well with an upper blepharoplasty to help with the tired look.  Your lower eyelids look fine...maybe a hint of a tear trough deformity but I certainly no excess skin.  MAYBE a little filler but probably leave the lower eyelids alone from a surgical standpoint.

Sara A. Kaltreider, MD (retired) · Answer

Your photographs show that you have ptosis on both sides. I would recommend consultation with an oculoplastic specialist in your area. Ptosis is the most likely diagnosis to explain your symptoms and appearance. (Blepharoplasty would not solve the problem.) Ptosis repair by an expert will give you a refreshed appearance and eliminate the tired look. Best wishes.
