What do I need to treat heavy, differently shaped eyes? (Photo)

You would benefit from a browlift done in the hairline. This will lower your hairline, decrease the vertical height of the forehead and pull up the eyebrows which will help with the extra eyelid skin. You may also require an upper blepharoplasty done at the same time. You may also benefit from a lip lift to achieve the results similar to the desire photo you have shown.

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 this, 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, or to treat any asymmetries.

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

The limited photographs demonstrate what appears to be ptosis on your left eyelid, which is a muscle weakness, and hooded and excess skin on the upper lids on both sides. An in-person examination is going to be required to make a determination about how best to proceed.
