Is it normal to have loose skin on my eyelids 4 years after upper blepharoplasty? Can I have surgery again? (Photo)

Question

Age 67, I had upper blepharoplasty 4 years ago. Is it normal that I have very loose skin on eyelids again? Is it safe to have the same surgery again or what other options? Even Botox will not lift the heavy eyelid. Thank you in advance.

You might wish to explore The Ten Minute Eyelift, a procedure, performed using local anesthesia, that employs light electrosurgery to shrink and tighten loose and "heavy" upper eyelid skin. No cutting, no stiches. Literally takes five minutes per eyelid to perform and engenders only a few days of simple wound care. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello! Thank you for your questions.As far as I can see from your photos there is still extra saggy skin above your eye. It is totally safe that the have the same procedure again. I highly recommend you revision upper eyelid blepharoplasty for get rid of the extra skin. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. Best Regards!
