I'm 25 years, i've always had droopy eyes and i want them to look more awake and attractive instead of looking like i just woke up all the time and lookimg tired. I can't experement with make up much cause i don't have enough eyelid space. What can i do about this?
Answer: I guarantee that you will be wrecked by upper blepharoplasty. Unfortunately in this world, you have to be careful what you look for. Standard blepharoplasty practiced by 99% of surgeons who offer eyelid surgery remove as much skin and fat as they can. This will hollow out your upper eyelids, cause you upper eyelid ptosis, lash ptosis and a compensatory eyebrow elevation. You will look like an older version of yourself. I promise that you will not be happy from that. I do a micro-anchor blepharoplasty which is a small amount of skin removal with eyelid structure to expose more eyelid platform. A detailed consultation is really needed to determine what is right for you. Less is more and be very careful what you look for.

Answer: More eyelid space Thank you for your question. You actually have beautiful eyes. But if this bothers you, you might consider having either upper eyelid blepharoplasty or an endoscopic forehead lift. Either should give you the results that you are seeking. Good luck!

Answer: Tired look Your upper eyelid does have minimal eyelid skin visible between the upper lid fold and eyelashes. Ideally you would have more skin visible in this area. An upper lid blepharoplasty is designed to address this issue. I would perform this procedure in my office surgical facility under local and mild sedation if desired. Of all of the cosmetic procedures that I perform, an upper lid blepharoplasty is the one I would have for myself if I needed it.

Answer: Tired eyes- the answer may be the lower lids! Though it's hard to draw conclusions from a single image, unlike previously posted responses, it seems to me that some of the tired appearance you noted could be explained by the slight sagging of the lower lids, particularly the outer portion of the lower lids. Technically, this is termed lower eyelid retraction and lateral canthal dystopia. In most patients, the there shouldn't be visible white portion of the eye (sclera) above the lower lid as it crosses the front surface of the eye. Additionally, the lowest point of the lower lid is typically beneath the pupil, while in the image provided the lowest portion of the lower lid is more lateral ( towards the ear). Both of these elements, in addition to the slight dark pigmentation of the lower lids or perhaps it's shadowing, contribute to what some may consider a tired or sad appearance. The upper lids and eyebrow seem to be in excellent position, hence surgery to this area should be avoided. Fortunately, there are treatments both surgical, and non-surgical that can be offered to help address your concerns. I would recommend a detailed, in-person evaluation to better define your concerns, thoroughly evaluate your eyelid region ( forehead through the cheek), and to offer you insight into your condition and treatment options.

Answer: Procedure to create more eyelid space Thank you for posting your photo and question. First of all, you are very young and symmetric. If you were highly motivated to do anything, a very conservative upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be performed to create more eyelid space. The utmost care must be taken to avoid the possibility of being overcorrected. Best wishes.
