Is it possible to get upper Blepharoplasty without getting fat removal, just to remove a little amount of excess skin? (photo)

August 11, 2014
Asked By:Dk11 in South Ozone Park, NY

I'm 21, I have hooded eyes that cover my eyelids. I'm scared of getting too much skin removed leading to sunken in eyes. Both the eyes have a different amount of excess skin and it makes my eyebrows look uneven. But I don't want to get a brow lift since my brows are already high. If the fat in the eyes is left what will they look like, like swollen? What are the chances of getting uneven results? I'm looking for a surgeon in NYC, can you please tell an estimate of the cost.
