Answer: Hello. I have hooded eyes problem like many people. What would be the best option and possibly quicker? Perth, Australia Thank you for your question. It would be good to see some images in order to give a personal recommendation for your options. Hooded upper eyelids often results from excess skin or fat in the upper eyelids. Hooding can also be contributed by a low brow position. A personal examination would be required to identify your main issue but overall excess skin in the upper eyelid is the most common cause. Excess skin responds well to upper eyelid blepharoplasty and you should seek a consultation with a Specialist Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.RegardsDr Guy Watts

Answer: The Ten Minute Eyelift Is A Minimally Invasive Approach For Mild To Moderate Hooding Of The Eyelids Photos would have been extremely helfpul. In their absence, what I can say in general, surgery is the definitive approach to addressing upper eyelid hooding. That having been said, I have been performing The Ten Minute Eyelift for mild to moderate hooding (including doing on myself) for over fifteen years with gratifying results and relief.

Answer: Small Cost, Big Difference Hi Spatel36, thank you for your question. Extra skin and fat on the upper eyelid can cause the eyes to feel and look tired. Taken to the extreme, the extra skin can hang so much that it can hamper your vision and cause discomfort. Eyelid surgery combined with Eyebag Removal can effectively reduce the excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids to leave you with wider more youthful looking eyes.I would suggest you look fully into the procedure and find a surgeon that is experience and that you trust.Good luck going forward

Answer: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty the treatment of choice for your condition, which it is called dermatochalasis, is upper eyelid blepharoplasty. You need to go to an oculofacial plastic surgeon and they can assess you if you also have ptosis of your upper eyelids. the ptosis of upper eyelids will be repaired with other surgical intervention.

Answer: Is it the eyes or the brow? There are a few options for "hooding" of the eyes. But, it is first essential to be examined by a board certified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or oculoplastic surgeon. This problem is typically caused by either one of 2 things or both. #1–low or descended brow position. If the brows have begun to descend, they can make the upper eyelid skin gather even if it is not excessive. Lifting the brow will improve the eyelid skin.#2 excess upper eyelid skin. If this is the cause, removal of that excess skin within upper blepharoplasty is the option. It can be done in office under local anesthesia and works quite well.Brow lift and upper lid lift are usually performed surgically. However, there are some skin tightening lasers that can help the area above the brows contract and perhaps improve the situation somewhat. Though not quite to the extent of the surgical options.First, I would suggest you trial better sleeping habits. If the root cause of all of these problems is a poor and overworked sleep schedule, this is the area to work on first rather than jump to surgery. It is quite important to get as much sleep as you can, even in medical school. Addressing the cosmesis of things without addressing the underlying sleep hygiene I think will lead to dissatisfaction in the long run.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
