Hooded lids/drooping eyelid when smiling? Is there a way to fix this? (Photo)

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Judging from your photo, which is out of focus and too small, it appears that you need an upper lid blepharoplasty to eliminate the excess skin. This is one of the most common procedures performed by plastic surgeons and can be performed under local anesthesia. This procedure uniformly gives a great result, and you should be pleased with the result. Ask your plastic surgeon for pre and  post-operative photos to view.Sutures stay in for about 5 days, and the recovery is basically placing ice soaks on your eyes for a day or so to minimize swelling. You can get some bruising, but it's generally not bad with the upper eyelids.Thank you for your question and photos, and good luck.

Your photo is so close up and very low resolution, so it's hard to know exactly how much extra skin there might be.  Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.  I've attached a link where you can start your search.
