My right eye is definitely more droopy than my left and I'm wondering if I'm a good candidate for upper eyelid surgery. I'm 37, but genetically this issue gets worse with the people in my family. Would I need a brow lift too?
Answer: Possible eyelid ptosis Based on these photos, you may have an eyelid ptosis, droopy eyelid(s). Only on the basis of in person evaluation, a board certified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon, could give you right answer. Good luck.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chemical Brow Lift for Eyelid Rejuvenation -- add Ultherapy, Thread Lifting, RF Skin Tightening, Laser Treatments As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: What you should know about upper blepharoplasty Thank you for submitting your question and photos. You may be a candidate for an upper blepharoplasty procedure to address the hooding you’re referring to. This surgical approach can correct the heaviness of the upper eyelids and define the crease by removing any excess skin and small pockets of fat.

Answer: Unilateral blepharoplasty Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. Unilateral blepharoplasty is common in my practice. It can be performed with local anesthetic and appearing normal typically occurs by 2 weeks. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and guidance.

Answer: Brow and Eye Your right brow is slightly lower than your left which adds some heaviness to your lid. A browlift could help with that but expecting exact brow symmetry through that is challenging. Blepharoplasty may benefit to achieve better symmetry of your eyelids, but can pull the brow down a little. A combination of both will likely give you the best chance for a symmetric outcome.

Answer: A small blepharoplasty could benefit you Yes, you do have an element of excess upper eyelid skin. Excess skin is necessary in the upper eyelid and lower eyelid in order to allow for eyelid closure during blinking and sleeping. This being said, most patients develop too much excess as they age. A formal in-person evaluation would be necessary to truly assess this.
