What surgeries can I do to improve the eye area? (Photo)

Question

I never have liked my eye/eyebrow area. It looks to me there may be slight Ptosis. I feel my brows are dropping and there are some dents in the area. I sleep very well and always have bad lower eye bag that are very visible when smiling. I've attached photos.

Hi @lunaf03, thanks for your question. Looking more in detail the photoes you send us, the treatment that will give you the best results is a blepharoplasty of upper and lower eyelids:

Blepharoplasty, more commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin or fat around the eyes. After surgery, the patient's eyes will open wider, making them appear more alert and youthful. The surgeon may perform the surgery on the upper eyelids only or on both the upper and lower eyelids.

Also, it is very likely that you will also be recommended to have an eyebrow pectomy, which will make your look more attractive and relaxed.  It aims to elevate the eyebrows that due to the passage of time, the effect of gravity and muscle action have been losing their natural position, giving the face a tired, aged and sad appearance. However, it is important to discuss all available treatments thoroughly before making any decisions about which one may be best suited for treating your individual case. Best wishes!

Your photographs are limited but it appears your eyebrows are low on the forehead and you would benefit from a browlift.  You may also benefit from a lower blepharoplasty.

Best Wishes,
