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.

Answer: Blepharoplasty Its pretty common to get just a little skin removed, and keep your fat pad intact. However it's tough to gauge how much of your hooding is from the eyebrow coming down and how much is just excessive skin. A wider shot of your whole eyelid complex including your upper cheek and forehead would be helpful. No matter what you choose perfect symmetry in any part if the face and body is extremely rare before AND after surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Upper Eyelid Procedures Upper blepharoplasty is a relatively simple procedure in the realm of plastic surgery. There are only a few options for the surgery technique. The best option is the one that you need based on your examination. From the photos, it does not appear that you have a lot of upper eyelid fat medially, so that part cat be skipped. Asymmetry is typically reduced by doing an asymmetrical amount of skin excision and setting the lid crease by removing a small strip of muscle. Fat excision is always done more conservatively now that in the past, as a youthful eyelid tends to be full and not hollow. I think you will get clarity from a consultation (or 2) and be able to make a nice informed choice for yourself.
