Upper eyelid shape changing, used to be slightly hooded, now more elevated. Do I have surgical options to restore them? (photos)

September 14, 2022
Asked By:Lina9797 in Scotland, United Kingdom

Over the years, I've noticed my upper eyelids have become more hollow and there is more upper eyelid exposure My eyes used to be slighty hooded. It also appears that my eyebrows have a more elevated position than they used to. I did suffer from eyelid dermatitis for a number of years. Is there a surgical procedure which can restore my eyelids to the way they previously looked? (not interested in filler or botox or other such injectables).

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS says:

Good Afternoon! I can see the benefits of either option you've described. At first, though, I would recommend filler. The tear trough can improve nicely with a softer filler like Belotero or Volbella. The amount may vary and sometimes it takes a couple injections to get the result to smooth...
