Brow lift or blepharoplasty to help me get more awake-looking eyes? (Photos)

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. From the photos it appears having a blepharoplasty would be the preferred choice. Your eyebrows are not low, so just removing a little skin is the correct treatment. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for consultation.
Good luck,

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For 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. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Based on these photos, you seem to have droopy eyelids, condition known as eyelid ptosis. In person consultation with a board certified plastic or oculoplastic surgeon, is recommended. Good luck.

Hello. You have low eyebrows, excess skin on your eyelids and you also have ptosis. I can therefore recommend a combination of browlift, blepharoplasty and ptosis repair surgery. Thus, you can have a fresh look. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. Best regards.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos! It is difficult to tell from your photos and without examining you, but an upper blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes excess skin (and sometimes fat) from your upper eyelid area and can help give you a more refreshed, youthful look. Sometimes there are other causes of “droopy” or ptotic eyelids, so it is important to have a thorough exam with a fully trained plastic surgeon. A brow lift will raise your eyebrows, but would not remove extra skin or fat in your upper eyelid area. I perform these procedures as an outpatient surgery in our fully-accredited operating room under IV sedation.

What you have is upper eyelid ptosis (droop). Treatment is a specialized "blepharoplasty" that shortens the muscle that elevates the eyelid. Make sure you see a plastic or ophthalmic plastic surgeon who specializes in treating ptosis.
