Male, 20 years old. having Hooded eyes is not a problem, but is it normal to have so much skin on the eyelid? Sometimes the upper eyelid touch my eyelashes and get stuck. What can I do, non-surgical if possible (I doubt it) and is it a medical condition (in France if It hide 15° or more of the field of view it is, but I can't tell cause I always had it) or just esthetic. thanks

Answer: Brow lift and possible blepharoplasty You would benefit from a browlift as the eyebrows are below the orbital rim. You may also need a blepharoplasty. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Concerns about your upper eyelids If you look at the distance between your upper line and your eyebrow, you may recognize that this distance is quite short compared to most other people. This is most likely due to skeletal bone structure with the shape of your orbit and your forehead. I don’t think the problem is directly related to your upper eyelid, but rather The distance between your brow and your orbit. I suggest having a few in person consultations with oculoplastic surgeons in your community. You may get different opinions from different providers. Eyelid surgery isn’t going to reset your brow position so a different approach may be indicated.Perhaps a brow lift might be indicated. I suggest scheduling a few consultations and I would make a point of scheduling only in person consultations, avoiding virtual consultations. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
