31 year old female. What treatment can I do to get rid of eyelid folds? (photo)

Question

I am a 31 year old female who has excess skin on my eyelids, it’s like I have 3 folds. I’ve already tried c02 laser to tighten the skin but it didn’t do anything. What else can I do?

Edward Daniele, MD · Answer

The only way to address the extra skin is to perform an upper blepharoplasty. This is a surgery where we remove the extra skin (and sometimes fat) with an incision in the eyelid crease. It is important to remember that everyone is asymmetric, and the goal would be to improve the upper eyelid contour, not remove ALL of the folds altogether. Hope this helps!

Photos are limited and there are none looking straight ahead but the following may help depending on what’s going on:

- upper eyelid blepharoplasty 
- upper eyelid ptosis surgery
- upper sulcus fillers

Consult an expert for an evaluation. Contact me for more details! Hope this helps!

With this level of skin folds, non invasive treatments are unlikely to work I'm afraid. I'd recommend a review with an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss options.
