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.
An upper blepharoplasty surgery would be a great option for removing the excess skin on your upper eyelids. This is easy and safe procedure with minimum downtime.
Thank you for your question and photos. "Hooded eyes" is really just a colloquial way of describing upper eyelids that have more fullness or skin than some people, such that there is not a large amount of lid platform showing. Whether you have skin removed is really only dependent on whether it bothers you! If it does, I would suggest seeing an oculoplastic surgeon for an in person evaluation. They may recommend an upper lid blepharoplasty, or a conservative approach such as using botox to lift the tails of the brows. Hope this helps!Dan Landmann, MD, MSEE
