I've always had extra folds on my eyelids. My dad does too so it must be genetic. It's never bothered my until I've gotten older (I'm 36) and the skin is saggier. They're not really hooded eyelids, but I worry it ages me. Would I be a good candidate for upper blephoplasty? Would it make my eyes more youthful?
Answer: Do i need blepharoplasty hi, thanks for your question you need a small amount of excess skin to allow eyelids to close. your eyes/lids look good and nice to me. with eyes open, yes there are small folds but you have good 'lid show' the flat zone of skin between lashes and the first fold and this is nice. i think there is little to be gained by blepharoplasty and it is not something I would offer or recommend. best wishes Oliver Harley plastic surgeon

Answer: Upper and lower blepharoplasty Yes, you would benefit from an upper blepharoplasty. You may also want to consider a lower blepharoplasty at the same time. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Upper eyelid surgery You would be a good candidate for upper eyelid surgery. You have mild ptosis (drooping of the upper lids), a small amount of excess skin, and hollowing of the superior sulcus. Upper eyelid surgery could help make your eyes appear more youthful and alert. Best to see an eyelid expert to discuss potential options to meet your goals.

Answer: Skin only upper blepharoplasty. A skin only upper blepharoplasty, under local anesthesia only, would remove your redundant upper eyelid skin (determined by a simple pinch test) and smooth your upper eyelids. When measuring the skin of the upper eyelid, the incision should positioned approximately 9 mm above your eyelashes at mid pupil and taper along your natural eyelid crease to each side. Best wishes.

Answer: Eyes You could consider an upper bleph but I would make sure that your surgeon does not overdo it since you already have hollow eyes, so you don't want to get any more fat removed (if anything you could also consider fat grafting to the upper eyelid) and you don't want so much skin removed that you can't close your eye as well.
