Is there is a way to determine what ideal eyelid size for a caucasian female is? What eyelid size would look best on me?

Your eyes are amazing.  I am sure I am not the only one who has told you that.  You do not need eyelid surgery.  Eyelid surgery will not make you look more attractive but it can harm your appearance. Depending on how many hours a day you think about these issues, you might have body dysmorphic disorder.  If you are spending hours a day thinking about these issues, think others are talking about you and making fun of your appearance, or avoid social or work situations because of how you feel about your appearance, it is likely that you fit into this spectrum.  Rather than getting unnecessary and potentially harmful cosmetic surgery, you should work with a psychologist to learn why you think this way and how to control these thoughts.

At this stage  your eyes look beautiful with no excess skin or excess fat.  I would strongly recommend against any surgery.  If you want the eyes to be a little bit more open than I would recommend undergoing Thermismooth treatments to tighten the skin and open up the eyes a little more.  It is a radiofrequency treatment done externally with no down time and is not invasive at all.Enjoy your beautiful eyes.RegardsDr. Janjua

I 100% agree with Dr Steinsapir! No there is NO exact determination. I might offer upper lid skin only minor blepharoplasty???

Dear 13almw,

Thank you for your clinical post and
photograph. Some female upper lids can
be full of attractive subcutaneous fat above the supratarsal fold and be
considered very attractive and “bedroom eyes.”
Other very attractive female faces can have very high supratarsal folds
and a hollow upper lid. In general,
there is a huge variety of what can appear attractive and, so, to have a
standard norm for proportion as one might use in the upper middle and lower
third of the face with a classic Da Vinci proportions falls down when
discussing the upper eyelid. Attractive
eyelid generally has some small degree of lid show to show the platform for
mascara, long lashes and an eyeliner platform.
There generally is very little to no hooding out to the outer margin of
the eyelid all this can vary. The skin
tends to be smooth and not wrinkled and a fullness can be attractive as long as
not protrusive and excessive. These are
some of the generalized features from attracted eyelid, but there is no one
ideal type.

In your particular case, you have
very attractive eyes that matches your face.
You have a nice super even supratarsal fold right across on the inside
to the outside part of the eye and you have a full upper lid or “bedroom eye.”

I would not change eyelids at all at
this age as they match your face perfectly.
As one ages there tends to be periocular changes that may require minor
surgical procedures, soft tissue fillers or Botox as you get older, but at this
point I would do nothing.
