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

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.
