Question

Hi What would you recommend, I saw few doctors and I had different evaluation some said I don’t need any some said I need upper eyelids and some said I need both. I have attached an image of me what I used to be like and now.

Hi from Istanbul! For the best results, I believe combining both procedures would be more effective. Specifically, the excess skin on the outer part of your upper eyelid can be nicely addressed with a brow lift. Removing too much upper eyelid skin alone could actually pull your brow down, so the combination of both will provide a more balanced and natural outcome. Hope this helps, best of luck on your journey!

Hi, thx for the pictures but its best to have an inperson consultation to really examine the amount of skin excess you have and the amount of brow ptosis. The browlift will definately open up the brow area and when combined with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, will make the area more youthful and open.

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct excess upper eyelid skin, depending on the situation.

For less significant upper eyelid skin excess or more mild improvement, there are nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if the hooded eyelids have more excess skin present.

Dr. Donald Groves is an expert facial plastic surgeon that I work with, who specializes in these types of procedures. It is important that if you are considering surgery that you go to someone who is well trained and very experienced with these delicate operations to get the best results. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer

Judging from your second photo, it appears your brows are in good position and you do not have excessive skin on the eyelids. I do not think a browlift or upper lid skin removal is needed. Always best to have an in person consultation.

Hi, thanks for your question.  I think the word 'need' in context of cosmetic surgery is difficult....nobody 'needs' cosmetic surgery - its really a case of considering how much added benefit you might get and would this be outweighed by a range of potential risks and disadvantages and, of course the money you will be paying.  My opinion is that your eyes and brow look perfectly attractive, lively, feminine and normal and i couldn't say that they would be made any more so by surgery.
