I hwant to look how I appear while I lift my eyebrows and am considering upper blepharoplasty, PLO threading, or brow surgery. Which do you think is best?

Hi there,Its hard to make a decision without physcial exam but just based on your photos it looks like you would benefit from a direct excisional brow lift! You should book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon! Good luck

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You are a likely candidate for an endoscopic brow lift to raise your eyebrows and maintain the appearance of the raised-brow photo you provided. 
This procedure places a few small incisions near the hairline to lift the forehead skin and the brows, resulting in eyes that may appear brighter and more open. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your cosmetic goals and suggest the best approach to help you achieve them.

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.

You are a great candidate for a brow lift. Removing a small amount of upper lid skin could also be done in combination. You need an in person consultation to determine the exact plan for you.
Best of luck.

Thank you for posting the great photos for us to evaluate. Your brow position is definitely low and you also have excess soft tissue in the eyelids. Quite frankly, you probably would benefit from BOTH a brow lift and an upper blepharoplasty, but if you wanted to be more conservative, I would recommend a brow lift to start. You can always add an upper blepharoplasty later. 
Stay away from thread lifts. They are very short term "fixes", if you can even call it a fix. It will end up being a waste of your money. 
I have provided a link to a similar patient who underwent both a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty. Virtual consultations are available.
Good luck
