My eyes have been Hooded all my life, but my vision is starting to 'see' my lashes and headaches are happening. When I raise up my brow, my eyes are very awake looking without any hood. I would love any ideas of what the solution is as it seems like at such a young age this is being problematic. I just don't know the best path to research. Thank you!

Answer: Brow lift vs blepharoplasty You have a classic low eyebrow position that tends to crowd the eyes, but still is an attractive shape. If you are looking for a more "open look", you truly have 2 options that can work well, and it depends on your aesthetic taste which one you choose.1. Brow lift- This is a technique whereby the forehead and brow are elevated to open the eyes and relieve the heaviness of the upper eyelids. Depending on the hairline and the length of the forehead, an endoscopic or hairline approach can be used. This will give you are more arched/raised eyebrow position and its important for your surgeon to demonstrate how high you would be comfortable with your position, as too high an eyebrow leaves you looking surprised. See below link of examples of brow lifts. 2. Upper blepharoplasty is the straightforward choice which keeps your natural low brow position intact, and simply removes a bit of skin from the upper eyelids. Its important that this happen in a conservative fashion so that if you decide to have a brow lift in the future, you still have enough skin to be able to undergo surgery and still have adequate skin to close your eyes. Pick a surgeon that is equally skilled and comfortable with both techniques and you can decide together which would be a good fit for you.

Answer: Hooded eyelids Thank you for your question. You demonstrated the look you want perfectly by raising your eyebrows. The question is how to best achieve this. Temporary solutions include Botox and fillers. I have found placing a little filler under the eyebrow can elevate the brow just enough to provide the look you want. A lateral brow lift is a longer lasting solution, but it's a surgery. So you have your options in front of you. Seek an experienced plastic surgeon. I wish you the best!
