Over the last few years, my left eye has become more hooded and droopy than the right. I am wondering what the best treatment for this would be? Do hooding and droopiness require 2 different treatments? And lastly, would you suggest getting both eyes done (but more correction on the left), or just the left? Thank you.

Answer: Hooding defect of upper eyelids Hi, After more than 25 years of doing cosmetic surgery, I found that what makes a patient happy is whether the surgery can meet the patient's expectations. In your case, if you just wish to correct the depressed areas in your upper eyelids, the simplest solution is just to inject the areas to fill them with a filler, which can be any of the synthetic materials such as hyaluronic acid, or use your own nana-fat. If you also wish to correct the excess skin and fat and hooding of your upper eyelids, then you should have upper blepharoplasties with or without a brow lift.

Answer: One eye more hooded and droopy than the other. Looking at the picture you provided, it looks like slight ptosis on your left eye. I would need a complete evaluation to ask questions about any other treatments you may have received that may be contributing to the heavier left eye. Once we've established what is causing it, we can proceed with a plan to correct this. Be Well!Michael Macdonald, FACS, FRCSC
