I am about to turn 43 and have some extra skin on my upper eyelid. I'm thinking about a bleph surgery but I've always had hooded eyes and I love them. I don't want to alter my natural eye shape (like Renee Zellweger did). I would like to have them more like they were 10 years ago! Very nervous to alter my eyes! Not the best pics to represent issue but only have a handful on my computer. Also not sure why they are sideways. Thank you!

Answer: A natural blepharoplasty is possible You do have very full upper eyelids and brows which are attractive features. You can maintain your natural eyelid shape with a very conservative SKIN only upper blepharoplasty. This means your surgeon needs to avoid removing any eyelid muscle or fat. You need to explain your expectations to your surgeon and together come up with the surgical plan. Communication between you an your surgeon is very important in maximizing chance for surgical success. You need to find a surgeon that listens to you and follows your aesthetic ideals, rather than his/hers. Look at before and afters and read the explanation for the photos. On my website, I discuss what my patients goals were so that you can follow the results. If you look under upper blepharoplasty and brow lift sections you'll see many patients with your eyelid/brow configuration. We do offer virtual consultations for out of town patients.

Answer: Will blepharoplasty take away the natural hooded shape of my eyes? I think you have presented your concerns well and can move forward with confidence once you have interviewed your doctor and expressed this to him/her.. A conservative blepharoplasty can accomplish your goals in my opinion. Be sure your surgeon expresses a similar view and can demonstrate examples of his work to you.
