Upper blepharoplasty or Botox brow lift be better for eczema prone/dry skin? (Photos)

Question

Female, 5ft6, eczema prone and extremely dry skin, a bit overweight at 80kg. I’ve suffered with very dry sagging skin on left upper eyelid for a couple of years now and it’s gotten worse due to a couple of bad eczema flare ups around my eyes that have made the skin age prematurely (I’m 29). My brother passed away suddenly few years ago and I think this has aged me too. Would I be a good candidate for an upper blepharoplasty or would something like a Botox brow lift be better? Thank you!

Dear beforeverfallen,

I want to extend my heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Considering your age and the unique characteristics of your eyelids, a traditional blepharoplasty procedure, which primarily involves the removal of excess skin, may not be the most suitable option for you at this time. It's essential to be cautious in your case, as skin removal can potentially lead to a sunken or hollow appearance around the eyes.

A Botox brow lift could be a more appropriate choice. This non-surgical procedure involves the application of Botox to the forehead and eyebrows, which can gently elevate the tail of the brow, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Given your history of eczema-prone and extremely dry skin, this minimally invasive approach may be a more skin-friendly option.

It's crucial to remember that any cosmetic procedure should be approached with care and consideration, especially when dealing with skin sensitivity. Prioritizing a robust skincare routine and maintaining proper hydration can contribute significantly to your skin's health and overall appearance.

I encourage you to consult with a qualified medical professional who can provide a personalized assessment of your specific needs, taking into account your skin condition and your goals. They will guide you towards the most appropriate and safe approach to achieve the results you desire.

Once again, my sincere condolences for your loss, and I wish you all the best on your journey toward self-care and rejuvenation.
