I have heavy low eyebrows and hooded eyelids, what could correct them?

Question

I hope someone can help me with this. I was unfortunately born really ugly. I have very heavy eyebrows and droopy eyelids also my nose looks big. I absolutely hate the way I look, it gets me down everyday of my life. I have people stare at me in disgust as I just walk in the streets... it is really affecting me emotionally. I have no self-esteem, so I stay in the majority of the day. I wish I was born aesthetically pleasing. I think I inherited my looks from my recently passed father.

While there are procedures that can help you improve your heavy eyelids and brow area I suggest you talk to someone who can help you improve your self esteem first. It is important to understand that cosmetic surgery is not a cure all and if you have underlying profound psychological distress then it's better to address that first before turning to cosmetic surgery. All the best.

Thank you for sharing your concerns.  There are procedures to help with the aesthetic appearance of the eyes, brows and nose.  These can be addressed in a consultation with a plastic surgeon.  It seems like you are having body image and self esteem issues that are being complicated by your recent loss.  It is not usually a good idea to undergo a surgical procedure to change one's appearance until all of those issues have been teased out and addressed. Combining counseling to address the body image and loss issues with appropriately timed surgery can be successful.   Sincere condolences on your loss. Best wishes.

I am sorry to hear about your self esteem issues. It is always helpful to seek professional help. Concerning improvement of your brow and eyelids a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty can help. Seek consultation for plastic surgeons in your area

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

It is hard to tell what you might benefit from without pictures, and a consultation.  Many people will have issues with their appearance that are often not accurate.  You may think you have a horrible nose and lids, but you may not.   While surgery of the brow, lids and nose may improve your appearance, it sounds like you also need some professional counseling to deal with both grief and self-esteem issues.

Rhinoplasty and forehead lift for more attractive face is what you probably need. I need to see photos to give a proper answer.
