Age 28, male - does upper blepharoplasty 'raise' your eyelids? (Photos)

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Thank you for your question. In general, an upper blepharoplasty addresses excess skin. The droopiness of the eyelid is called ptosis. There are a few approaches to treating ptosis. One can use an incision under the eyelid for mild ptosis. If an upper blepharoplasty is being performed anyway, an extra step to tighten the muscle that lifts the lid will help relieve the droopy eyelid.

Based on these photos, it appears that you have condition known as eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelids). This can be corrected with surgery. In person consultation with board certified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.
