I had the orbital decompression surgery done in 2008 and a mid-face lift done in 2011. I've attached a current picture of how my eyes look like now. I still believe my eyes have a tired and droopy look to them and feel like I would benefit with a brow lift possibly or maybe a surgery to fix the droopy eyelid.

Answer: Recommend upper eyelid ptosis repair First of all, the results from the first surgery look decent, I am not sure why the right lower eyelid had more "rounding" at the lateral end. However, as time progressed, lower eyelids have descended, but still pretty good. The upper eyelids appear droopy which contribute to a tired look and can be improved with ptosis repair under twilight, or semi-awake, so you can respond to commands to ensure symmetry. I would also want to see the previous surgeon's OP note to see what was done with the midface lift and lower eyelids before deciding how to approach the lower eyelids. I don't think a browlift will lift the eyelids enough to give you the aesthetics that you desire. You need a formal upper eyelid ptosis repair.

Answer: Droopy eyelids What you have is called "ptosis" of the upper eyelids. Consult with a qualified surgeon who is experienced in "ptosis repair". This is surgery of the upper eyelids, and can possibly involve the brow as well. Good luck!
