Eyelid droopy - what procedure would give me refreshed and brighter eyes? (Photo)

Question

44, female Problem: dropping eyelids May I know what procedure will give me the refreshed and brighter eyes ? I see a doctor online he suggests a sub-browlif. May I know what other procedures would you recommend that can have a long lasting and natural looking effect with minimal side effect ?

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 your exact situation.

For less significant issues, there are nonsurgical treatments: To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling.

Surgery (browlift and/or upper blepharoplasty) is a great option for more significant improvement- for example if there is more substantial eyebrow drooping and/or excess upper eyelid skin. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer

You appear to have asymmetrical eyebrows.  A frontal browlift may be the best solution for you to correct the asymmetry of the eyebrows.  You may also benefit from an upper blepharoplasty.

Best Wishes,
