Why is the space between my brows and eyelid so long? (Photo)

Question

I noticed as I get older and the fat around my eyes decrease and my lids hollow out, the space from my upper eyelid tony brows have gotten longer and longer. Is there anyway to fix this? Do I replace the fat with fat transfer or filler to the upper lid? Do I have ptosis? Thank you!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Only on the basis of in person evaluation one could decide whether you have ptosis (droopy eyelids) or not. Your orbits (eye sockets) are naturaly set appart, so are your brows; nothing unusual, asymmetric. Hope this helps.

Would you describe a pretty typical signs of normal fascial aging.
I would avoid fat transfer around the eyelids, because the procedure is inherently, unpredictable and precise and unforgiving. If you don’t like the outcome. Fillers is a much better option but it’s tricky directly in the eyelids. The diagnosis of ptosis requires an examination. I suggest consult with local board-certified, plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, or ocular plastic surgeons in your community to get an assessment.
