How can I reduce upper eyelid exposure? (Photos)

If your upper eyelids look too exposed, it usually means one or more of the following are present:Excess lid show due to lid positionWeakening of the levator muscleLoss of brow supportSkin laxity or fat redistributionThe procedure that most directly addresses this is a customized upper blepharoplasty with ptosis repair — not just skin removal.- Why Upper Blepharoplasty Alone May Not Be EnoughA standard upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) removes extra skin and fat, but if your eyelid margin is sitting too high, that won’t change the functional position of the eyelid. This is especially true if:Your eyelid looks “open” all the timeThe crease seems very highA lot of the white above the iris is visibleIn these cases, a simple skin excision can make the lid look tighter but not naturally lowered.- Best Option: Upper Blepharoplasty + Ptosis RepairThis combined approach:-Targets excess skin and fat- Lowers the eyelid margin to a more natural position-Improves the brow–lid relationship-Creates a softer, less “ startled” look-Preserves a natural contour without over-tightening- -How Ptosis Repair WorksPtosis repair strengthens or repositions the levator muscle (the muscle that lifts the eyelid). When this muscle is weak or stretched, the lid sits too high or looks overly exposed. Repair:Adjusts the levator without altering the browGives controlled lowering of the lid marginMaintains eyelid function and field of vision- What to ExpectA more balanced lid–brow relationshipLess visible lid above the creaseA refreshed, natural appearanceScars hidden within the natural creaseWhen a Brow Lift Might Also Be RecommendedIf your brow sits very high, it can make the upper lid appear more exposed. In select cases, a brow lift may be added, but that is not always necessary — especially if the main issue is lid margin height.
