Am I a good candidate for upper Eyelid Surgery? (photos)

Question

When I look in the mirror it's not really an issue but I've heard I look sleepy at a bar before when I was wide awake and when I look at myself in my webcam it seems like my eyelids cover my eyes a lot more than other peoples.

It is my professional opinion that you are actually a better candidate for a browlift in order to receive the best results.

Hello @AnonGuy97 thank you for your question. It is hard to know for certain without an examination. According to the photos of you, it appears that upper eyelid surgery might be right for you. I suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon if you are considering a surgery. That way you will have more information and recommendations. Best Regards! Alan Gonzalez MD.

You have very little excess upper eyelid skin. You would get a very minimal result with upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Most of the issue is the position of your brow. If you stand in front of the mirror and gently elevate your brow, you’ll see how much more “open” the eyes look. The challenge with brow lifts is they can significantly “change” your look.
